Abstract
According to the invention, a circuit arrangement includes at least two bipolar transistors, each having a base electrode, an emitter electrode and a collector electrode. The two transistors are connected together at their base electrodes and the base electrodes are connected to an auxiliary voltage. The collector electrodes are arranged to be first and second outputs of the circuit arrangement. An emitter resistor is connected to the emitter electrode of each transistor. Each emitter resistor is a pinch resistor having a gate electrode for controlling a resistance value of the respective emitter resistor. The gate electrodes of the respective pinch resistors are configured to be first and second inputs of the circuit arrangement.
