Abstract

A circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor having respective control terminals coupled to receive first and second bias voltages. A first electronic switch is coupled in series with, and between current paths of the first and second transistors to provide an output current line between a circuit output node and ground. A second electronic switch is selectively activated to a conductive state in order to provide a charge transfer current path between a bias node and a charge transfer node in the output current line. A third electronic switch is selectively activated to a conductive state in order to provide a charge transfer current path between the charge transfer node and the control terminal of the second transistor.
