Abstract:
A current mirror circuit and an optical receiver circuit implementing with the current mirror circuit are disclosed. The current mirror circuit provides two MOSFETs and two differential amplifiers. The MOSFETs are operated under the same bias condition even the power supply voltage decreases due to the virtual short-circuit characteristic between two inputs of the differential amplifier. One of the differential amplifiers provides a variable gain and output impedance characteristic to stabilize the feedback loop formed by this differential amplifier and one of the MOSFETs.
