CA502

Current Regulator Diode

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

’s current regulator diode is available in plastic TO-92 and surface mount SOT-23. The devices are selected for narrow current ranges and are excellent choices for test instrumentation and medical applications. With nominal current ranges from 0.24mA to 4.7mA, all in 20% bands. The devices allow the designer a cost effective method of providing a current regulator with no power supply requirements and lower part count. The lower current devices operate at 1 volt.

FEATURES

• Simple Two Lead Current Sources

• 1 to 100 Volt Operation

• Zero Temperature Coefficient

• Simplifies Floating Current Sources

• No Power Supplies Required
