Abstract

Electronic circuit comprising a first and a second current mirrors, an upstream active element arranged between an input of the first current mirror and an input of the second current mirror, each current mirror being provided with an output. The circuit comprises a first current source arranged in parallel with the input of the first current mirror and a second current source arranged in parallel with the input of the second current mirror, so that the current delivered to the active element is equal to the output current of each current mirror and that the input current of each current mirror is less than the current delivered to the active element by the input of each current mirror and by the associated current source.
