ABSTRACT:
A gated current source includes a first current source for generating a first current which is supplied to the anode of a diode. A second switched current source is also coupled to the anode of the diode and produces a second current which is greater than the first current. When the switched current source is off, a current is supplied to an output node via the diode. When the switched current source is on, a different current is pulled from the the output node via a transistor having a base coupled to the output node and an emitter coupled to the anode of the diode.
