Recently, frequent Design Idea (DI) author Christopher Paul showcased an innovative and high performance true-two-wire current source using a depletion mode MOSFET as the pass device in “A precision, ...
A converter that tapers off a 4 mA input to zero, and adds the input and the tapered off 4mA signal to create a 2-wire 4-20 mA output loop.
Over on his YouTube channel [Aaron Danner] explains biasing transistors with current sources in the 29th video of his Transistors Series. In this video, he shows how to replace a bias resistor (and ...
