Briefly in a series circuit the current through all series components is the same, while the sum of the voltage drops across each series component will add back to the source voltage. In Fig. 1 we use a LM317 in its constant current mode. The value of R3 divided into 1.25 volts will ...
LM317 High Power Constant Current Source Circuit LM317 Constant Current Source Circuits TheTL431Ais another popular part in a small TO-92 package. In simple terms the TL431A acts a temperature compensated variable/adjustableZener diode. It can also act as a voltage reference or constant current ...
I am looking to replace an LM317 in an existing design where it is used as a constant current source. The constant current source provides a consant 10mA to a resistive fuel sensor. The resistance varies from 33R to 240R depending on ...

Using A Voltage Regulator As A Constant Current Source July 4, 2015byNava Whiteford77 Comments [Afroman] contacted us to share his newvideo on the LM317. The humble LM317 adjustable voltage regulator is everywhere. From wifi routers, to high spec lab equipment. Given a noisy input and a va...
The regulated output voltage is given by: V out + V ref R 1) 2 R1 )I R Adj 2 Since the current from the adjustment terminal (IAdj) represents an error term in the equation, the LM317 was designed to control IAdj to less than 100 mA and keep it constant. To do this, all ...
programming current (I constant current flows through R to ground. The regulated 2output voltage is given by: ) by R (see Figure 17), and this improve ripple rejection. This capacitor (C ) prevents ripple PROG 1Adj from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. A ...
The regulated output voltage is given by the following formula: = × �1 + 12� + × 2 As an error term in the formula, IADJ is designed to be less than 100μA and keep constant. Therefore, in most applications, this item can be negligible. Since the LM317 requires the minimum ...
Since the 100µA current from the adjustment terminal repre- sents an error term, the LM317L was designed to minimize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output establishing a minimum load current ...
The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of Although the LM317L is stable with no output capacitors, like any feedback circuit, certain values...
