Abstract
Circuit for discharging to ground, supplied by a supply voltage, comprising a reference voltage, a negative potential node, first circuitry adapted to couple the negative potential node to the reference voltage in response to a control signal. Second circuitry is provided adapted to determine in the first circuitry the passage of a controlled current for the discharge of the negative potential node.
