Abstract
An electronic device, including a first limiter including a first transistor configured to be coupled with a first side of a channel to a first output node of a non-ideal voltage source having an inner impedance greater zero in order to limit the voltage at the first output node by drawing a current from the first output node. The second side of the channel of the first transistor is coupled to a capacitor so as to supply a current from the first output node to the capacitor, if the voltage level at the output node reaches or exceeds an upper limit.
