Precision voltage controlled current source with variable compliance

A voltage controlled current source with variable compliance produces a load current through a load impedance where the load current value is substantially independent of the value chosen for the load impedance. The value of the current is substantially proportional to the difference between a first...

Zusammenfassung:A voltage controlled current source with variable compliance produces a load current through a load impedance where the load current value is substantially independent of the value chosen for the load impedance. The value of the current is substantially proportional to the difference between a first and second input voltage, and is substantially inversely proportional to a value of resistance chosen as a sense resistance. The current source comprises two variable gain instrumentation amplifiers and a resistance means connected in series with the load impedance.
