Amplifiers, Rails and current sources

Jan 12, 2006 0 Replies

Hello,



Please look at the following data sheet of an instrumentation amplifier INA2133.



formatting link



I am using it as a constant current source ( figure 16, page 13 ). I made the following changes in the circuit


  1. I put a capcitor in series with the load for AC coupling reason.
  2. The power supply of the circuit is +/- 15 volts.


I have a following questions about the circuit.


  1. For example, if the circuit is producing 100microA and the load resistance is 1mega ohm then the complaince voltage will be +/- 10 volts or the voltage across the load will be +/- 10 volts. How can I keep the complaince voltage or voltage across the load equal to +/-

0.7 volts with the current of 100microA without changing the power supply which is +/-15 volts?

Please advice! Thanks John
