Abstract
The configuration described is distinguished by the fact that it contains a control device which ensures that the potential which is established on the current-source side terminal of the switch when the latter is open has the value which it would have if the switch were to be closed, under otherwise unchanged conditions, and if the current output by the current source were to flow through said switch. As a result, it is possible for the current output by the configuration always to be as large as desired, in particular even immediately directly after the closure of the switches P and N , more precisely exactly the current output by the current sources P and N
