Abstract
A circuit arrangement is provided where the arrangement of a feedback resistor between a first branch and a second branch enables that a voltage is provided at an output terminal in an efficient way, this means with a high settling speed and a low current consumption. The feedback resistor is arranged between a reference node and the output terminal, where the reference node is connected to a current mirror. The circuit arrangement can be employed as a gate driver. Furthermore, a driver block and a method of driving a circuit arrangement are provided.
