A margin tracking cascode current mirror system including a current mirror
circuit having a current source device having a predetermined operating
voltage for providing a current to a load, a cascode circuit
interconnected between the current mirror and the load for controlling
the output impedance of the system and for establishing a current control
voltage, a cascode bias circuit for providing a forward bias to the
cascode circuit, and a compound cascode bias circuit for independently
controlling the slope and the offset of the current control voltage to
track the predetermined operating voltage with a predetermined margin.
