Abstract

The output current of a current sink is regulated by a reference current provided by a current source and a reference voltage obtained by filtering the output voltage of the current sink. The current sink to be regulated is a voltage control current source, where the control voltage is obtained by amplifying the difference between the reference voltage and the output voltage of the current source.
