Abstract
A differential current mirror circuit includes: a first branching unit that branches current through a first current input terminal to a first current path and a second current path; a second branching unit that branches current through a second current input terminal to a third current path and a fourth current path; and a current mirror that copies current. The current copied by the current mirror is a combination of the current flowing through the second current path and the fourth current path and removal of the in-phase component from current through the first current path enables only the differential component flowing through the first current path to flow to a first current output terminal. Similarly, the in-phase component from current through the third current path is removed, enabling only the differential component flowing through the third current path to flow to a second current output terminal.
