Hi there.
Could somebody please explain to me why this circuit is referred to as 'common source amplifier with active load'? From my understanding a load would be something external that is attached between the output and the ground terminals. For example a resistor attached to a voltage source can be considered a load.
So then why is the current mirror termed 'load' when it is a part of the circuit itself?
