Abstract

A current through a transistor having a drain and a source is sensed using a resistor, and first and second current sources. The resistor is responsive to the first current source to establish a reference voltage between a first terminal and a second terminal. The second terminal of the resistor is coupled to the source of the transistor. The second current source is current-controlled by the first current source and has a current gain inversely related to a voltage between the drain of the transistor and the first terminal of the resistor.
