Current Mirrors (35 points) This problem introduces current mirrors, which will be covered in more details in future lectures. Consider the circuit shown below (Figure 2). (W/L)1 = 1, (W/L)2 = 5, Rref = 50 kΩ, ignore channel length modulation unless otherwise stated. Assume L1 = L2 = 1 μm. Figure 2 a) (5 points) Assume RL = 10 kΩ. Calculate IL, the current flowing through RL. What is the current mirroring ratio ( IL over Iref , where Iref is the current through Rref )? We want the current mirror to provide a load-independent current as much as possible, so check that M2 is in saturation. b) (5 points) Determine the maximum RL and minimum VOut such that the current mirror still functions with the same current mirroring ratio you calculated in part a). Hint: for the current mirror to function as desired, transistor saturation should be maintained. c) (5 points) Channel length modulation introduces load-dependent errors in the mirroring ratio.

Ignore channel length modulation and body effect ( Assume bulk is tied to source). Transistor sizes remain the same, (WL)1 = 1 and (WL)2 = 5. This circuit has been designed to have the same Iref as in part a).
