Circuit arrangement and method for discharging at least one circuit node

摘要

In a circuit arrangement for discharging at least one circuit node, an input and at least one output connectible to the at least one circuit node are provided along with at least one controllable resistor, a capacitor and a diode. A first terminal of the controllable path of the controllable resistor is connected to the output. A second terminal of the controllable path of the controllable resistor is connected to the input. A terminal of the capacitor and a cathode of the diode are connected to a control terminal of the controllable resistor. An anode of the diode is connected to the input. The circuit arrangement requires a very small area in an integrated circuit and enables a very fast discharge of the circuit node.
