Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to current control circuitry for controlling a current through a load, the current control circuitry comprising: amplifier circuitry; reference voltage generator circuitry configured to supply a fixed reference voltage to a first input of the amplifier circuitry; 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; a current output terminal; a clock-controlled variable resistance coupled to the current output terminal of the output stage, wherein a resistance of the variable resistance is based on a digital code input to the variable resistance; 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.
