    A mixer is used in almost all radio frequency (RF) or microwave systems for frequency translation. Nowadays, the increase market demand encouraged the industry to deliver circuit designs to create proficient and convenient equipment with very low power (LP) consumption and low voltage (LV) supply in both digital and analogue circuits. This paper focused on different Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) design topologies for LV and LP mixer design. Floating Gate Metal Oxide Semiconductor (FGMOS) is an alternative technology to replace CMOS due to their high ability for LV and LP applications. FGMOS only required a few transistors per gate and can have a shift in threshold voltage (VTH) to increase the LP and LV performances as compared to CMOS, which makes an attractive option to replace CMOS.

    This paper presents the comparison of a conventional current mirror with the one utilizing floating gate MOSFET transistors (FGMOS) to achieve low power (LP) and low voltage (LV) design. The device structure has been simulated with 0.1μ CMOS technology and 1.2V voltage supply by using SAED 90nm PDK with the Synopsys Custom Designer tool. The FGMOS circuit has shown to have low power consumption of 9.62mW, smaller threshold voltage of 0.2V and Iout of 20 mA. The improvement of 40.1% from conventional current mirror has shown the LV and LP capability of FGMOS transistor.
