Patent ID: 8659348

Claim:
A current mirror, comprising: first and second sets of transistors, each of the first and second sets comprising a first transistor and a second transistor, wherein the base of the first transistor is directly coupled to the base of the second transistor, wherein, for the first transistor of each set, the base is directly coupled to the collector, wherein the collector of the first transistor of the first set is coupled to the emitter of the first transistor of the second set, and the collector of the second transistor of the first set is coupled to the emitter of the second transistor of the second set so that the emitters of the first and second transistors of the second set are respectively to receive currents from the collectors of the first and second transistors of the first set, and wherein an output of the current mirror is coupled to the collector of the second transistor of the first set and the emitter of the second transistor of the second set.
