Current Mirrors
A current mirror is an analog circuit that allows a varying current to flow through it, and then outputs the same current value with a different voltage. This makes it possible to control a load device with a varying current signal.
Active Loads
An active load is a device that actively controls the current flowing through a circuit. This means that it can either increase or decrease the current based on the voltage applied to it.
Combining Current Mirrors and Active Loads
When current mirrors and active loads are combined, they can be used to create a variety of circuits with different functionalities. For example, a current mirror can be used to provide a constant current source for an active load, or an active load can be used to control the current flow through a current mirror
