This airflow sensor consists of INA326 precision instrument amplifier, double 100uA REF200 current sources, and a REF3025 2.5V reference voltage chip. Airflow dynamics dictate how much the voltage will increase or decrease for a given airflow rate. Therefore, the relationship between...
Continue ReadingAdjustable Current Source – 0 to 1A
This voltage-to-current (V-I) converter delivers a well-regulated current to a load. The circuit accepts an adjustable input voltage from Trimmer potentiometer PR1 and converts it to an output current from 0A to 1A. The current is regulated by feeding the voltage across a...
