-In the current mirror configuration, the op amp serves as a virtual ground at the mirror input (base) node to convert the voltage steps from AWG 2 ( W2 output ) into current steps through the 1KΩ resistor. The collector voltage is swept using a ramp from AWG 1(output W1) set to 3V peak to peak with the offset to 1.5V. V<sub>CE</sub> of output device Q<sub>2</sub> is measured differentially by scope inputs 1+, 1-. The mirror output current is measured by scope inputs 2+. 2- across 1KΩ resistor, R<sub>2</sub>.+In the current mirror configuration, the op amp serves as a virtual ground at the mirror input (base) node to convert the voltage steps from AWG 2 ( W2 output ) into current steps through the 1KΩ resistor.

 Ideally the collector of PNP Q<sub>3</sub> would be connected to some negative voltage with respect to ground. Try connecting the collector of Q<sub>3</sub> to the negative board supply Vn. What happens? Can the input node of the mirror get even closer to ground now? Ideally the collector of PNP Q<sub>3</sub> would be connected to some negative voltage with respect to ground.
