Integrated circuit arrangement with diode characteristic
First Claim
1. An integrated circuit arrangement with a diode characteristic comprising:
- a first transistor having a source-drain section arranged in a current path between an input and an output of the circuit arrangement and having a gate electrode;
a first inverter stage with an output fed back to an input, and with the supply voltage for the first inverter stage being provided by the voltage at the output of the circuit arrangement;
a second inverter stage having an input connected to receive an output signal from the first inverter stage and with the supply voltage of the second inverter stage being provided by the voltage at the input of the circuit arrangement; and
a third inverter stage having an input connected to receive an output signal from the second inverter stage with the supply voltage for the third inverter stage being provided by the voltage at the output of the circuit arrangement, and with an output signal of the third inverter stage being fed to the gate electrode of the first transistor to regulate the current flow in the current path of the circuit arrangement.
