Claim 6:
7. The invention of claim 1, the source-follower circuit further includes:
(a) a current source coupled between a voltage source and a gate of the source-follower FET;
(b) a voltage regulator coupled to the gate of the source-follower FET and configured to provide a voltage; and
(c) a voltage control circuit coupled to the gate of the source-follower FET and including a first selectable configuration disconnected from the gate of the source-follower FET, and a second selectable configuration coupled to the gate of the source-follower FET, wherein the voltage at the gate of the source-follower FET when the voltage control circuit is in the first selectable configuration is higher than in the second selectable configuration.
