LM134/LM234/LM334
3-Terminal Adjustable Current Sources
General Description
The LM134/LM234/LM334 are 3-terminal adjustable current
sources featuring 10,000:1 range in operating current, excel-
lent current regulation and a wide dynamic voltage range of
1V to 40V. Current is established with one external resistor
and no other parts are required. Initial current accuracy is
±
3%. The LM134/LM234/LM334 are true floating current
sources with no separate power supply connections. In ad-
dition, reverse applied voltages of up to 20V will draw only a
few dozen microamperes of current, allowing the devices to
act as both a rectifier and current source in AC applications.
The sense voltage used to establish operating current in the
LM134 is 64mV at 25˚C and is directly proportional to abso-
lute temperature (˚K). The simplest one external resistor
connection, then, generates a current with +0.33%/˚C tem-
perature dependence. Zero drift operation can be obtained
by adding one extra resistor and a diode.
Applications for the current sources include bias networks,
surge protection, low power reference, ramp generation,
LED driver, and temperature sensing. The LM234-3 and
LM234-6 are specified as true temperature sensors with
guaranteed initial accuracy of
±
3˚C and
±
6˚C, respectively.
These devices are ideal in remote sense applications be-
cause series resistance in long wire runs does not affect
accuracy. In addition, only 2 wires are required.
The LM134 is guaranteed over a temperature range of
−55˚C to +125˚C, the LM234 from −25˚C to +100˚C and the
LM334 from 0˚C to +70˚C. These devices are available in
TO-46 hermetic, TO-92 and SO-8 plastic packages.
