Abstract
In one example, a circuit comprises an input transistor comprising a first terminal, a second terminal coupled to ground, and a gate; a capacitor comprising a first terminal and a second terminal; an output transistor comprising a first terminal providing an output current, a second terminal coupled to ground, and a gate; a first switch; and a second switch; wherein in a first mode, the first switch is closed and couples an input current to the first terminal of the input transistor and the gate of the input transistor and the second switch is closed and couples the first terminal of the input transistor to the first terminal of the capacitor and the gate of the output transistor, and in a second mode, the first switch is open and the second switch is open and the capacitor discharges into the gate of the output transistor.
