Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a circuit is configured to vary an intensity of a drive current of a resistive heater element based on the digital control signal. The circuit includes and output circuit configured to control a respective slew rate and an electric energy dissipated in the resistive heater element independently of a resistance value of the resistive heater element.
