APPLICATION NOTE 3464
Precision Current Source is Software-Programmable
Abstract: A shunt regulator provides a constant reference voltage across a digital potentiometer that, in conjunction with an op amp
and transistor, forms a software-programmable, voltage-controlled current source.
With the addition of a few inexpensive miniature components, the hard-wired, voltage-controlled current source of yesterday
becomes a software-programmable voltage-controlled current source ( Figure 1).
