Abstract

An integrated driver circuit for driving different capacitive loads, which includes a setting element. The setting element develops a setting signal S for a given numerical measure signal M. The numerical measure signal M is developed by an input device, which is coupled to the setting element. The numerical measure signal M corresponds to one of the different capacitive loads which is driven by the driver circuit. Coupled to the setting element is an output stage, which provides an output current that corresponds to the setting signal S.
