ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a current mirror circuit comprising a first transistor having a first electrode connected to a first potential, a second electrode connected to a second potential lower than the first potential, and a third electrode connected to a third potential higher than the second potential, a second transistor having a first electrode connected to the first potential and the first electrode of the first transistor, and a second electrode connected to the second potential, an operational amplifier having a high-potential input connected to the third potential and the third electrode of the first transistor, and a low-potential input connected to the third electrode of the second transistor, and a third transistor having a first electrode connected to an output of the operational amplifier, a second electrode connected to the low-potential input and the third electrode of the second transistor, and a third electrode used as an output terminal.
