Abstract (en)
[origin: US4651083A] An integrated constant-current source having an operational amplifier with an inverting input to which a reference voltage is feedable, and an output; a first stage to which the output is coupled and by which the output voltage of the operational amplifier is converted to a first current, the first stage being in a circuit wherein a reference resistor is connected from which, for coupling a voltage dropping across the reference resistor, the reference resistor is coupled to a non-inverting input of the operational amplifier; and a second stage coupled to the output of the operational amplifier for converting the output voltage of the operational amplifier to a second current, the second stage being in a circuit wherein a current reflector is connected for supplying an output current which is constant in a first approximation, the integrated constant current source includes a third stage coupled to the output of the operational amplifier and converting the output voltage thereof into another current, the third stage being in a circuit wherein another current reflector is connected, and another stage coupled to the reference resistor, the other current reflector conducting reflected current and having a stage thereof connected in a circuit wherein the other stage coupled to the reference resistor is also connected.
