Abstract
The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for pulse generation, having a capacitor, to which a charging current and a discharging current may be supplied in succession. To generate the charging current and the discharging current, there are provided a current source, a first current mirror circuit and a second current mirror circuit complementary to the first current mirror circuit. The current mirror circuits each comprise a plurality of output transistors, which each constitute an output stage for the charging and discharging current, which is connected to a regulator, and for a circuit for controlling the tail current of a differential amplifier forming the regulator. A current output of the differential amplifier is connected to the output of the second current mirror circuit.
