Since I'm sure someone will like to have this data, the following are
two tests I did with a VCO I designed. The first test is a standard
uncompensated two transistor current mirror design using a MAT02:
Temp Fc=100Hz Fc=1kHz Fc=10kHz
-------------------------------------
25C 100Hz 1.00kHz 10.0kHz
30C 102Hz 1.03kHz 9.80kHz
35C 106Hz 1.04kHz 9.60kHz
40C 111Hz 1.05kHz 9.43kHz
-------------------------------------
The second test utilized a MAT04 in a 3:1 transistor current mirror:
Temp Fc=100Hz Fc=1kHz Fc=10kHz
-------------------------------------
25C 100Hz 1.00kHz 10.0kHz
30C 102Hz 980Hz 9.6kHz
35C 104.2Hz 970Hz 9.3kHz
40C 106.9Hz 961Hz 9.0kHz
-------------------------------------
Anyway, as you can see, there is a definate point where the drift
changes from positive to negative (although I didn't bother to try to
find the critical frequency).
Interestingly, with the MAT02 circuit, the worst case error occurs in
the 100Hz range, whereas in the MAT04 circuit, the worst case error was
in the 10kHz range. I don't suppose that's any better, but it is
interesting, none-the-less.
Hope this has been of interest to someone.
