Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of constant current source, particularly relate to a kind of constant current source with current mirror.
Background technology
Constant-current source circuit is exactly to want to provide a stable electric current to guarantee the basis of other circuit steady operation.Namely require constant-current source circuit output steady current, therefore the device as output stage should be the volt-ampere characteristic with saturated output current.This can adopt the BJT (bipolar junction transistor) or the MOSFET (mos field effect transistor) that work in the output current state of saturation to realize.
Figure 1 shows that a kind of basic constant-current source circuit, comprising a current mirror, wherein said current mirror comprises NMOS pipe M1 (N-type mos field effect transistor) and NMOS pipe M2, also comprises PMOS pipe P1 (P-type mos field effect transistor) and PMOS pipe P2 in the described constant-current source circuit.The drain electrode of described NMOS pipe M1 receives reference current Ir, described NMOS pipe M2 output current Ib, because described NMOS pipe M1 and NMOS pipe M2 consist of current mirror, so and the identical output current Ib of length breadth ratio of described NMOS pipe M1 and NMOS pipe M2 and reference current Ir big or small identical.
And described PMOS pipe P1 receives described output current Ib, described PMOS pipe P2 output current Io is to load, and the ratio of the length breadth ratio of the length breadth ratio of described PMOS pipe P2 and PMOS pipe P1 is n, described n is more than or equal to 1, so same mirror principle according to current mirror, described Io is identical with described ratio n with the ratio of Ib, i.e. the value of the most n of Io Ib doubly is so export the value that the value of the electric current I o of load should be n Ib doubly to.
But the I-V formula according to the transistor state of saturation: I=K (Vgs-Vt)
2(1+ λ Vds), can find that this structure has following two point defects:
1, cause the variation of the Vout voltage of described basic constant-current source circuit output owing to the variation of load, so that the difference of the Vout voltage of the VCC voltage of the source of PMOS pipe P2 and drain terminal, namely Vds has produced larger variation.For example, when VCC=2.7V and Ir=1mA, and n=8, this moment, the ideal value of Io should be 8mA according to the mirror principle.
But when the resistance R=100 of load ohm, Vout=Io * R=8 * 100=0.8V, thereby Vds=VCC-Vout=2.7V-0.8V=1.9V, and when the resistance R=200 of load ohm, so Vout=8 * 200=1.6V is Vds=VCC-Vout=2.7V-1.6V=1.1V.So visible in the situation that these two kinds of unequally loaded resistances, the value of Vds is different, and according to the I-V formula of transistor state of saturation, can find under the both of these case, the actual electric current I o that inputs to described load departs from ideal value fully, so the electric current I o that exports load to changes with the change in resistance of load.
2, another situation is that the constant and VCC of the resistance of load is when changing, as mentioned above, for example work as VCC=2.7V, when Ir=1mA and n=8, the ideal value of Io is 8mA, when the resistance R=100 of load ohm, Vout=Io * R=8 * 100=0.8V, so Vds=VCC-Vout=2.7V-0.8V=1.9V, and when VCC changed into 4V, so Vds=VCC-Vout=4V-0.8V=3.2V was in the situation that two kinds of different VCC, because the Vds of PMOS pipe P2 is different so that the actual electric current I o that injects load departs from ideal value, so output current Io changes with the variation of VCC.
The electric current controllability that makes constant-current source circuit output of above two shortcomings is relatively poor, and particularly in the time of low voltage difference, the value difference of the value of output current and the output current of design object is different larger.
