FET constant current sources use JFETs and MOSFETs to deliver a load current, which remains constant despite changes in load resistance or supply voltage. A FET constant current source is a type of ...

Author Mazi Hosseini describes a simple, low-cost, voltage-controlled current source using two op amps that provides a good range of current and maximum load. One challenge in circuit design is ...

This application note shows how to use linear voltage regulators to provide a constant current. Two circuits are presented, one for high-side and another for low-side current sources. The MAX1818 and ...

This isolated current regulator produces currents up to ±10 A, depending on load configuration, with current determined by the tap chosen and a 0- to 1-V control voltage V ISET. When measuring the ...

[Afroman] contacted us to share his new video on the LM317. The humble LM317 adjustable voltage regulator is everywhere. From wifi routers, to high spec lab equipment. Given a noisy input and a ...

If you got your start in electronics sometime after 1980 your first project might well have been to light up an LED. Microcontroller projects often light up an LED, too, and a blinking LED is ...

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...

This code supports Application Note AN1138: A Digital Constant Current Power LED Driver, using the PIC12HV615? an 8-pin, PIC microcontroller (MCU) with many integrated analog features. The LED driver ...

A blisteringly fast 400V monolithic gallium nitride power buck converter featured at the International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) this week. Its figures speak for themselves: 50MHz ...
