com AN103 The FET Constant-Current Source/Limiter Introduction The combination of low associated operating voltage and high output impedance makes the FET attractive as a constant-current source.
An adjustable-current source (Figure 1) may be built with a FET, a variable resistor, and a small battery.
For optimum thermal stability, the FET should be biased near the zero temperature coefficient point.
D S RL RS – + A change in supply voltage or a change in load impedance, will change ID by only a small factor because of the low output conductance goss.
DID = (DVDS)(goss) (3) The value of goss is an important consideration in the accuracy of a constant-current source where...
