current source

Hi, I'm designing LED driver in my pulse oximeter. It would be two LED's, I would like to auto adjust current by DAC and be able to turn off one LED at time. I came up with an idea. In simulation, I got what I wanted. What about real circuit? The mosfet is actaully IRLML6244TR. 5V is for. ex...

Hi, I have a Fairchild FL51x0 which has a control pin where the voltage at the pin is input to an 8 bit ADC with 2.5V reference. The pin sources 10uA current, so that an external resistor can be used to set the voltage (0-250k). I'd like to use a Digital Potentiometer/Rheostat. However, the...

Hi Everyone, I am trying to define the most suitable current source for my application. Essentially, I need a high stability current source to feed Hall probes sensors. The probes' nominal current is 10 mA. A stability of 100 ppm (i.e., 1 uA) for short term (a few hours) is desired. Usually, I...

Hi, I am using an FL5150 IC, that has a control pin ('dim') with a 10uA current source on it. Their datasheet shows a variable resistor 0-250k which creates a voltage of 0-2.5V. I want to drive/control this using an isolated PWM signal. I've simulated many circuits using the Vdd pin...

Can a 4-20 mA (constant VDC) analog output on an industrial controller be used as an input on a solid state relay? I wasn’t sure how a device behaving as a variable current source might interact with a load such as the LED in an solid state relay that varies in its current draw. For example...
