Abstract
An integrated current supply circuit is disclosed which utilizes a sub-circuit having a lambda-like current-voltage curve. Such a sub-circuit comprises a first field effect transistor whose source-drain path is connected to a series circuit formed from a load element and a second field effect transistor. The gate of the first field effect transistor is connected to the connection point of the load element and the second field effect transistor. A gate of the second FET leads either directly or via a voltage divider to the drain-side terminal of the series circuit. A capacitor is provided which is connected across output terminals of the circuit. The series circuit of the lambda sub-circuit is connected in parallel with input terminals, and the first FET connects between one of the input terminals and one of the output terminals.
