LM317 Constant Current Source Circuits In the above links I've explored using a constant current source (CCS) and basic theory. Here I'll concentrate on the use of a constant current source for lighting light emitting diodes or LEDs. Understanding series circuits and voltage drops will help wi...
Proposed schematic below using TPS73101DBVR . Hello, There are a few things happening here. First, the LM317 is easy to use as a current source because the internal reference is not connected directly to GND, it is floating. Most LDO's ...
A previous Design Idea describes a programmable current source that used a three-terminalNational SemiconductorLM317 adjustable regulator (Reference 1). Although that circuit lets you program the output current, the load current flowed through the BCD (binary-coded-decimal) switches. However, you may...
To construct the current source, you should either use a heat sink for the LM317 or build the circuit into a die-cast aluminum housing, which acts as the heat sink. Isolate the LM317 from the heat sink using a thermally conductive isolation pad and a shoulder washer. You determine the r...
Engineers are developing a constant-current source using special ICs, operational amplifiers or voltage regulator ICs, such as LM317, which can be configured as a current regulator. This design solution will have some output residual voltage equal to the IC's internal reference voltage and residual...

A simple and low cost electrical property tester for material has been designed and built using cheap components. This instrument consists of simple adjustable current source circuit using LM317, gold coated pin probe and multimeters. Th... R Hidayat,F Oktasendra - 《Journal of Physics Conference...
using resistive terminations forces the current source to operate into possibly large bias voltages–a situation that is unacceptable for many sources and detectors. Currentamplifiers can sink current directly into a virtual null, or to a selected DC bias voltage. OverviewThe SR570 is a low-noise...
Re: Battery powered constant current source « Reply #7 on: February 19, 2023, 09:20:59 am » I like the simplicity of an LM317 with a single resistor to program the current, but it is inefficient, especially when using a high input voltage.A very simple way to limit the heat ...
The current source uses a 24-volt switch-mode power supply and the popular LM317 adjustable voltage regulator. The ‘317 can be configured in a constant current mode by connecting the chip’s adjustment pin to the output through a series resistance. A multiturn pot provides current adjustment,...
