Abstract:
A first switched capacitor circuit is connected to the source of one MOS transistor of a current mirror pair configured by a pair of MOS transistors and a second switched capacitor circuit is connected to the source of the other MOS transistor. Each of the first and second switched capacitor circuits includes a capacitor and a switch connected in parallel with the capacitor and the switch is on/off-controlled based on a clock signal of a preset cycle. Each of the first and second switched capacitor circuits equivalently functions as a resistor with large resistance and a variation in the output current of the current mirror circuit based on a variation in the threshold voltages of the pair of MOS transistors can be reduced even if the power source voltage is reduced.
