A low voltage wide ratio current mirror circuit comprises an n times
current mirror having an input port for receiving an input current and an
m times current mirror coupled in series to the n times current mirror
for resulting in an output current of (N*M the input current) being
provided to a load where at least one of N and M is other than 1. The
circuit provides precision in output current for use with a low voltage
power amplifier without incurring an overhead of quiescent current. The
low voltage wide ratio current mirror circuit in accordance with a second
embodiment of the invention includes a voltage swing reduction circuit in
order to provide increased stability thereto. In additional embodiments
of the invention, the load is a differential amplification stage for
providing differential amplification to differential RF input signals
received at first and second RF input ports thereof.
