Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19940382A1] The invention relates to an electrical source (30) with a high output resistance which has a current determining transistor (12) and a regulating switch (13). The regulating switch (13) has an amplifier circuit (14) with transistors (15, 16) and a regulating transistor (17) and allows the electrical supply to have a high output resistance. To enable use of the electrical supply (30) even at very low operating voltages, according to this invention a sourcing-circuit (31) is provided, which is used for the setting of a freely selectable minimal decrease in voltage over the supply. The sourcing-circuit (31) has one or more transistors (32, 33) and influences the voltage (Vds) at the current determining transistor (12). The output resistance of the electrical source can be further improved by utilizing a correcting circuit (41) which has resistors (42, 43).
