ABSTRACT:
A current clamping circuit is provided which clamps a current signal to a predetermined reference current level. An input current signal and a reference current signal are supplied to the clamping circuit. The clamping circuit includes a current differencing device which determines the difference between the input current signal and the reference current signal. This current difference is summed with the original input current signal or a mirror thereof at a summing node to produce an output signal which is clamped at the predetermined reference current level.
