The LM334 is not only an adjustable current source, but it is also a rectifier. Right on the front page of the TI data sheet are the words: “Reverse applied voltages of up to 20V will draw only a few ...

An interesting analog design problem is the precision current source. Many good designs are available, but most are the three-wire types that can be used as a positive (see Figure 1) or a negative ...

A frequently encountered category of analog system component is the precision current source. Many good designs are available, but concise and simple arithmetic for choosing the component values ...

A power supply’s source, in actual use, is never ideal. The real behaviour, including parasitics, needs to be considered to build a reliable power system. When we use power supplies, we ensure that a ...
