Abstract

A current-generator circuit includes an output-current generator circuit having a control branch to be coupled to a control current generator and adapted to provide a control current pulse and a driver electrically coupled between the control branch and the output leg. A compensation circuit includes a first compensation branch configured to generate a compensation current pulse that is a function of the control current pulse and a second compensation branch coupled in a current mirror configuration with the first compensation branch to receive the compensation current pulse. The second compensation branch includes a resistive block having an electrical resistance that is a function of a resistance of an output load. The second compensation branch is electrically coupled to the control branch and the driver is electrically coupled to the control branch and to the output leg.
