Constant-current source is widely used in the circuit of a component, here I tidy common constant-current source of structure and characteristics.
Constant-current Source Current flow (divided into Current (returned) and Sink) two forms.
The simplest constant-current source, is to use a constant current diodes. Actually, the application of constantcurrent diode is less, but because the constant current diodes constant flow characteristics is not very good, current specification is less, the price is more expensive.
The most common use two simple constant-current source with type transistor, using the transistor relatively stable voltage as benchmark,.
Current values for: i. = Vbe/R1.
This constant current source advantage is simple, but the current numerical control, nor can freely use the special components, be helpful for reducing the cost of the product. Faults are different types of pipe, the voltage is not a fixed value now, even the same type, also have individual differences. At the same time different working voltage electrical flow, it will also have certain fluctuations. Therefore not suitable for precision constant-current demand.
In order to accurately output current, often use an op-amp, also used as the feedback of the mosfet avoid triode. In the current error. If the current need not special accurate, one of the mosfet can also use triode.
Current calculation formula for:
I = Vin/R1
This circuit can be considered constant-current source circuit, in addition to the standard of precision and adjustability enough, use of the components are also common, easy to build and debugging. Only one Vin need an additional user.
From the above two circuits can see, constant current source is a formula (cold, "sing" is like chess term XD), is to use a voltage references in resistance, formed on fixed current. With this formula, the constant-current source can be extended to build all can provide the "voltage references in the device".
The simplest voltage regulator, is using diode, a transistor, stabilizing diode and can build a more simple constant-current source.
Current calculation formula is: i. = (Vd - Vbe) / R1
TL431 is another common voltage TL431, using the benchmark of constant current source, the transistor replacement for mosfet can get better precision.
The other TL431 information consult the TL431 internal structure and several basic usage of TL431
Current calculation formula is: i. = 2.5 / R1
In fact, all three of the regulator, is very good, but the voltage source voltage accuracy has three components, the need to maintain high current too small. Using three terminal voltage constitute constant-current source, also has a very good price.
The structure of the constant-current source, and is not suitable for the current, because this is the third time, maintain current voltage itself will lead to greater error.
Current calculation formula is: i. = V/V is three, R1 voltage stabilizing of the numerical.
The actual circuits, some special structure, also can provide good constant flow characteristic, the most typical is a high voltage through a resistor in a low-pressure equipment, formed the constant-current source current of high precision, accuracy and low depends on the device itself in voltage fluctuation. In some switching power supply circuit, the structure is used to provide bias current transistor.
Current calculation formula is: i. = Vin/R1
What is worth mentioning, these constant-current source are not suitable for ampere above level constant-current application, because it is too large current resistance will cause severe fever.
Can use smaller resistance to reduce the heat, but in a single power supply mode, most op-amp are not effective detection and output close or Vcc voltage, therefore must use special device can meet the requirements. There is a simple way is by a voltage regulator (etc), or TL431 bias resistors of voltage, make the above into the test voltage range.
Constant-current source is to use the essence of the current feedback device, dynamic adjusting equipment, thus makes the current state of power tends to a constant. As long as can be current, can effective feedback form, so as to establish the constant-current source.
Can undertake current feedback device, and current transformer, or use of current hall element to some of the magnetic field on the feedback device, also can use to shine on the photoelectric devices (e.g., etc) coupler feedback. These are able to form effective constant-current source, and is more suitable for large current special occasions.
