Programmable 0 mA to 5 mA Current Source REF01/REF02/REF03 series remains constant with respect to By adding a mechanical or digital potentiometer, this circuit the load current (refer to Figure 22). As a result, a simple, low becomes an adjustable current source. If a digital potentiometer cost current source can be constructed by configuring the is used, the load current is simply the voltage across terminal B reference as shown in Figure 39. to terminal W of the digital potentiometer divided by the value VIN of the resistor RSET.

GND A dual-supply op amp should be used since the ground VLI potential of REF02 can swing from −5.0 V to VL while the Q ≈ 0.6mA potentiometer is swung from zero-scale to ful -scale.

Simple Current Source REF01/REF02/REF03 series can be boosted by using an In this configuration, the current through the resistor RSET (ISET) external op amp and MOSFET, as shown in Figure 41. is equal to (VOUT − VL)/RSET. IL is simply the sum of ISET and IQ. N1 However, since IQ typical y varies from 0.55 mA to 0.65 mA, V this circuit should be limited to low precision, general-purpose INVOU1RLCL2N7002 applications. 200Ω1µFREF01/15VREF02/REF03R1R2100Ω100ΩVINVOUTV+OP1177TEMP TRIMV–GNDU2C1 042 1000pF 00375- Figure 41. Precision Boosted Output Regulator In this circuit, U2 forces VO to VREF by regulating the current through N1, thereby sourcing the load current directly from the input voltage source connected at V IN. Using the components shown, this circuit can source up to 50 mA with an input volt- age of 15.0 V. The circuit’s current sourcing capability can be further increased by replacing N1 with a higher-power MOSFET. Rev.
