  • Electronic device for controlling a current
    Patent number: 8553388
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided for controlling a current. The electronic device includes a first MOS transistor coupled with a gate to a common gate node, with a source to ground and with a drain to a pin so as to receive from the pin a current to be controlled. There is a second MOS transistor coupled with a gate to the common gate node, with a source to ground and with a drain so as to receive a reference current controlled by a control loop. There is a first resistor coupled between the common gate node and ground.
