The drain current of Q2 to equal
the input current and the output
configuration assures that the
output current equals the drain
current of Q1.
Limitation of Wilson current mirror
• The principal limitation on the use of the Wilson
current mirror in MOS circuits is the high minimum
voltages between the ground connection.
• The input and output nodes that are required for
proper operation of all transistors in saturation.
• The voltage difference between the input node and
ground is vgs1+vgs4 .

For PMOS, drain current in saturation region is
ID = (KP/2)W/L (VSG - Vtp)2
Substitute known values and calculate the value of Width of
PMOS transistor.
