4 Current Mirrors 2022.pptx
Current sources, current mirrors, and current steering circuits are important components in integrated circuit design for providing stable bias currents. A constant current is first generated and then replicated across the circuit using current mirrors. Current mirrors use identical MOS transistors such that if the gate-source potentials are equal, the drain currents will be equal, allowing the reference current to be copied. There are various types of current mirror circuits that have different advantages and applications. Current can also be steered between paths using multiple current mirrors, with some mirrors acting as current sources and others as current sinks.

A PLL or phase-locked loop is a control system that generates an output signal whose phase is related to the phase of an input signal. It consists of three basic elements: a phase detector that compares the phase of two signals and generates an error signal, a loop filter that filters the error signal, and a voltage-controlled oscillator whose frequency is controlled by the filtered error signal. PLLs are commonly used in applications such as frequency synthesis, signal demodulation, and motor speed control.

Common configurations include common-base, common-emitter, and common-collector, each with different input and output characteristics. Maximum ratings like power dissipation and voltages must be considered for circuit design and temperature derating.

In grid connected PV systems, the elimination of isolation transformer introduces common
mode leakage current due to the parasitic capacitance between PV panels and the ground. The common
mode leakage current reduces the efficiency of power conversion stage, affects the quality of grid
current, deteriorate the electric magnetic compatibility and give rise to various safety threats. In order
to eliminate the leakage current, an improved transformer less topology with virtual DC bus concept is
proposed here. By connecting the grid neutral line directly to the negative pole of the DC bus, the stray
capacitance between the PV panels and the ground is bypassed. The topology consists of only five power
switches, two capacitors and the filter section. Therefore, the power electronics cost can be curtailed.
This advanced topology can be modulated with the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) to reduce
the output current ripple. The simulation result of the proposed topology using MATLAB/SIMULINK is
presented.
Current mirror-A constant current circuit
The document discusses the basic principle and operation of a current mirror circuit. A current mirror functions to copy the current flowing into an input terminal by replicating it in an output terminal. It has a high output resistance to keep the output current constant regardless of load conditions and a low input resistance to keep the input constant regardless of drive conditions. The current mirror is often used to provide bias currents and active loads in amplifier stages.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Design of optimum self cascode low voltage current mirror
- 1. Optimal High Performance Self Cascode CMOS Current Mirror BY USHASWINI CHOWDARY.M
- 2. Introduction • To meet the needs of present era of low power portable electronic equipment, many low voltage innovative design techniques like Self cascode CMOS Current Mirror. • In this paper, we have investigated the merits and demerits of various current mirror configurations.
- 3. • Then improved our results by using various configurations like cascode current mirror, Wilson current mirror and finally the current mirror based on self cascode CMOS. • The analysis is done using 0.18um cadence virtuoso environment.
- 4. Basic Mosfet current mirror
- 5. Limitations 1. As we can see from the basic current mirror circuit current gain is poor and the output current is having the channel length modulation effects. 2. Output resistance is finite and small value.
- 7. 7 CASCODE CURRENT MIRROR • The idea of cascode structure is employed to increase the output resistance (Fig.3) and the implementation requires NMOS technology. • It is used to remove the drawback of channel length modulation in basic current mirror. • In the simulation results of basic current mirror the channel length modulation effect was not considered.
- 8. • In practice, this effect results in significant error in copying currents. The circuit features a wide output voltage swing and requires an input voltage of approximately one diode drop plus a saturation voltage. • By maintaining the input transistors in saturation, the output current will track the input current, regardless of increases in ambient temperature
- 10. • Advantages • Cascode current mirror eliminates the channel length modulation effect by keeping Vds1 = Vds2 constant in the ratio • Iout = [(W/L) (1+λVds2 )/(W/L) (1+λVds1)]Iref. • Improves output resistance • Disadvantages • Less accurate. • Current becomes constant for quite large value of Vds e.g. in this case minimum Vds is 1.2 V. • Body effect is also present which disturbs the output current.
- 13. • A Wilson current mirror or Wilson current source is a circuit configuration designed to provide a constant current. • This circuit has the advantage of virtually eliminating the current mis-match of the conventional • current mirror thereby ensuring that the output current Iout is almost equal to the reference or input current IRef thus eliminating the drawbacks of cascode structure.
- 15. • Advantages: • Curve is much flatter than basic and cascode current mirrors. • Output resistance becomes even much higher than cascode current mirror. This is caused by two positive feedback effects. • Disadvantages: • Current becomes constant for quite large value of Vds e.g. in this case minimum Vds is 1.22V
- 16. Low voltage self cascode current mirror
- 17. • The small signal transfer analysis of this circuit at 20 μA gave the current gain, i.e. Iout/ Iin = 1, and output resistance as 10 MΩ. T he power d issipation f or t his i s high. • They can be used as load resistances in CM circuits. They can extensively be used where power supply requirements are not the constraint
- 18. • Advantages: • High performance since output current is constant for low value of Vds . • High output impedance. • Disadvantages: • Power dissipation is high.
