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 ...
Download this article in PDF format. High-brightness visible-light LEDs (VLEDs) require a constant-current source. This simple, RFI-free circuit takes advantage of the normally-on properties of the ...
The LED driver automatically adjusts the output voltage to keep the output current constant and therefore the light output constant. This works with a single LED or with a chain of string of LEDs ...
Performance specs can be trumped, but elegance persists. Consider the most basic task in industrial control: driving sensors and bridges. It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with a strain-gauge bridge ...
It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
