According to aspects of the present disclosure, a dynamic current mirror (DCM) is operated in a first stage and a second stage that is temporally subsequent to the first stage. The DCM includes a current memory cell and an inverting voltage amplifier. During the first stage, the current memory cell receives an input current and stores a corresponding voltage via a capacitance of the current memory cell. During the second stage, the current memory cell employs the stored input voltage to drive an output current that matches the input current. The inverting voltage amplifier is employed to increase the capacitance of the current memory cell via a Miller-effect amplification of the capacitance.
