The FET Constant-Current Source/Limiter
AN103 Siliconix10-Mar-97 1 The FET Constant-Current Source/LimiterIntroductionThe combination of low associated operating voltage andhigh output impedance makes the FET attractive as aconstant- current source. An adjustable- current source (Fig-ure 1) may be built with a FET, a variable resistor, and asmall battery. For optimum thermal stability, the FET shouldbe biased near the zero temperature coefficient +Figure Transistor current SourceRSRLNO TAGW henever the FET is operated in the current saturated re-gion, its output conductance is very low. This occurswhenever the drain-source voltage VDS is at least 50%greater than the cut-off voltage VGS(off). The FET may bebiased to operate as a Constant-Current source at any cur-rent below its saturation current Source BiasingFor a given device where IDSS and VGS(off) are known, theapproximate VGS required for a given ID is(1)VGS VGS(off) 1 IDIDSS 1 k where k can vary from to , depending on device ge-ometry.
