Abstract
A current-mode circuit, comprising: at least one switch unit, each switch unit comprising a field-effect transistor connected at its source terminal in series with an impedance and configured to carry a given current, wherein for each switch unit or for at least one of the switch units the impedance is a variable impedance; and an adjustment circuit configured, for each switch unit or for said at least one of the switch units, to adjust an impedance of the variable impedance to calibrate a predetermined property of the switch unit which is dependent on the field-effect transistor.
