DRIVER CIRCUIT, METHOD FOR OPERATING AND USE OF CURRENT MIRROR OF DRIVER CIRCUIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a driver circuit and a method for operating the same as much as possible. SOLUTION: The driver circuit configured has: a switching device connected to a control input of an output transistor and to a control input of a reference transistor to form a switchable current mirror. A current source and the reference transistor are arranged in a reference current path. A load terminal and the output transistor are arranged in a load current path. A connection of components of the at least one damping network and a connection of components of the reference network are substantially the same. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
