Abstract
An active load circuit that includes a diode bridge having first through fourth nodes, wherein a voltage buffer is connected with the first node, a source current mirror is connected with the second node, the third node is configured for connection to a device under test (DUT), and a sink current mirror is connected with the fourth node. A first current mirror is connected with the source current mirror, and a second current mirror is connected with the sink current mirror. A first differential pair is connected with the first current mirror and includes an input connected with the DUT and a second input connected with the input voltage. A second differential pair is connected with the second current mirror and includes a first input connected with the DUT and a second input connected with the input voltage.
