1 A, 20V PWM DAC current source with tracking preregulator

This design idea reprises another “1A, 20V, PWM controlled current source.” Like the earlier circuit, this design integrates an LM3x7 adjustable regulator with a PWM DAC to make a programmable 20 V, 1 ...

1-A, 20-V, PWM-controlled current source

This design idea (DI) takes an unusual path to a power-handling DAC by merging an upside-down LM337 regulator with a simple (just one generic chip) PWM circuit to make a 20-V, 1-A current source. It’s ...

Voltage-Controlled Current Source Uses Two Op Amps

Author Mazi Hosseini describes a simple, low-cost, voltage-controlled current source using two op amps that provides a good range of current and maximum load. One challenge in circuit design is ...
