Meaning of Current mirror

Current mirror a configuration of two matched transistors in which the output is a current that is ideally equal to the input current. In the case of a bjt current mirror, the collector of the first transistor is forced to carry the input current. This establishes a corresponding base-emitter voltage, which is applied to the second transistor. If the two devices are matched, then the collector current of the second transistor will equal that of the first transistor, thus “mirroring” the input current. This is a commonly used configuration in integrated circuits, which can take advantage of the inherent matching available by fabricating the two transistors in close prox- imity to each other.
