Abstract
An embodiment voltage-current converter circuit comprises a first amplifier and a second amplifier having homologous first input nodes configured to receive a voltage signal therebetween as well as homologous second input nodes having a resistor coupled therebetween. First and second current mirror circuits are provided comprising first input transistors having their control terminal coupled to the output nodes of the amplifiers. First and second current sensing circuitry having first and second current output nodes are coupled to the current mirror output nodes of the current mirror circuits and configured to provide therebetween a current which is a function of the voltage signal between the homologous first input nodes of the amplifier.
