Abstract
An active resistor design is adapted to implement a linearized transistor driver that includes a first FET coupled between a supply potential and an output node, with the gate of the first FET being coupled to an input node. Second and third FETs are coupled between the output node and a reference potential, with the gate of the second FET being coupled to the input node. A switching circ
