Abstract
A circuit including a reference element adapted to provide a reference current and having a control terminal and a first terminal, there being a voltage (Vct) between the control terminal and the first terminal of the reference element, and a plurality of series-connected stack elements, each the stack element including a first terminal connected to a first voltage, and a control tern connected to a second terminal, the stack elements being adapted to receive at least one of the reference current and a multiple of the reference current, the stack elements and the reference element being matched such that a voltage between the control terminal and the first terminal of at least one of the stack elements is generally the same as Vct.
