Improved Current Mirrors - Transistors 101, episode 13

Improving on the current mirror The simple two-transistor current mirror that we saw last time has problems with its output impedance/voltage compliance and its accuracy. This video presents a collection of designs that improve on its limitations with a few extra components. Schematics are on the project GitHub: https://github.com/kennykb/kevins-cav... (Yes, I know it says episode 12. I use the same test circuit to evaluate these mirrors.
