Precision programmable current source uses two ICs

The loop: one DAC, one op amp, one pass device A programmable current source is a current sink with the servo loop closed around a resistor. A 12-bit DAC supplies the set point, an op amp compares it with the voltage across the sense resistor, and the amplifier drives the gate of a pass transistor. […]
