Abstract

1472988 Automatic current regulation RCA CORPORATION 17 July 1974 [3 Aug 1973] 31585/74 HeadingG3X A temperature-compensated constant current circuit includes a voltage source in the form of a conductive semi-conductor P-N junction, a resistor connected across the source, and a series combination of a resistor and a P-N junction also connected across the source. As shown in Fig. 2, transistors 22, 24 are supplied from a source B+, and the base and emitter of transistor 22 form a voltage source supplying current to a fixed resistor 29 and a resistor 35 connected in series with a diode-connected transistor 25. The values of the resistors are chosen so that, when the ambient temperature rises, the decrease in current in resistor 29 due to falling base-emitter voltage of transistor 22 is compensated by increased current in resistor 35 due to a smaller potential drop across transistor 25, producing substantially constant current flow in the main current paths of both transistors 22, 24. The regulator circuit is connected to the source B+ by way of a starting transistor 50 and a current repeater circuit in the form of an amplifier 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 21, 23 receiving an input signal at point D and producing a proportional output current at point A, the ratio of output to input depending on the number of parallel diode-resistor paths 10, 14 and 11, 15 used. Loads requiring constant current may be connected in any of paths A-A', C-C', D-D' or between terminal G and a reference potential. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the effect of the collector-emitter output impedance of transistor 25 is reduced by connecting a further transistor (30) between point D' and the collector of transistor 25, in cascade with transistor 24.
