Abstract
A device includes an amplifier having inverting and non-inverting inputs and an output. The device includes a capacitor coupled to a first node and to ground, a resistor coupled to the first node and the amplifier output, and a first switch coupled to the first node and a current sink, which is coupled to ground. The device includes AND gate having inputs and an output coupled to control terminal of first switch. The device includes a first comparator having non-inverting and inverting inputs and an output coupled to an AND gate input; a second comparator having a non-inverting input coupled to the amplifier output, an inverting input coupled to a transistor stack, and an output coupled to an AND gate input; and a second switch coupled to the transistor stack and to a current source, the second switch having a control terminal coupled to the first comparator output.
