Abstract:
A method of forming a multiple output current mirror on an integrated circuit, wherein said current mirror is comprised of a mirrored element to provide a reference current and a plurality of mirroring branches, each to provide a respective mirrored current, comprising:subdividing said mirrored element into N partial mirrored element, wherein N is an integer greater than two; subdividing each of said plurality of mirroring branches into a number of partial branch elements; forming a plurality of M partial current mirrors, where M is not greater than N, wherein each of said partial current mirrors is comprised of at least one of said partial mirrored elements and at least one of said partial branch elements; and arranging the elements of each of said partial current mirrors in a physical arrangement on the integrated circuit such that each of said physical arrangements is different.
