Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to current control circuitry for controlling a current through a load. The current control circuitry comprises amplifier circuitry, reference voltage generator circuitry configured to supply a fixed reference voltage to a first input of the amplifier circuitry and an output stage comprising: a control terminal coupled to an output of the amplifier circuitry; a current input terminal configured to be coupled to the load; and a current output terminal. The current control circuitry further comprises a variable resistance coupled to the current output terminal of the output stage, and a feedback path between the current output terminal of the output stage and a second terminal of the amplifier circuitry for providing a feedback voltage to a second input of the amplifier circuitry.
