Constant Current Sink

Goal: Will sink a constant current independent of the input voltage.

Range: 1mA to 5000mA. Max Vin 30V.

Ref 1 Build Notes

Adjustment

  1. RV5 (reference voltage adjust) to 5V. Test point at P3.
  2. Set SW_A1 to non-EXT value
  3. RV1 (100mV voltage) to 100mV. Use SW2_B1 bottom pin as test point
  4. RV2 (10mV voltage) to 10mV. Use SW2_B1 next to bottom bin as test point

Errata

  • R15 @ 10K: Doesn't give enough current to the LM336Z5.0. Switch to a lower resistance, 3k9 works for 9v input but. If 9v battery is used, voltage will droop till 7v during battery life. R15=1k5 will give stable reference 5V with a Vbat of 9V5 to 7V. Quiescent current does go up, but usable battery life will still be longer.
