Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a constant current power source with which accuracy is improved even in the case of an inexpensive resistor having a large temperature coefficient. SOLUTION: The current of a constant current power source flows to a current detection resistor 5. The voltage at both the terminals of the current detection resistor 5 is impressed through a current detection buffer amplifier 6 to one end of a correction resistor 9. The other end of the correction resistor 9 is connected to the minus side input terminal of an operational amplifier 11. Between the input terminal and output terminal of the operational amplifier 11, a feedback resistor 10 is connected. The correction resistor 9 has the temperature characteristics (temperature coefficient) practically equal with the current detection resistor 5 and is arranged so that the temperature conditions can be practically equal with the current detection resistor 5. Based on the output voltage of operational amplifier 11, the current value of constant current power source is made coincident with a prescribed value.

も、同時に、補正抵抗の抵抗値も所定値だけ変化する。
つまり、温度変化による抵抗値の変化により、電流値が
変化しないのに電流検出抵抗に印加される電圧値が変化
したときには、補正抵抗の抵抗値も変化しているため、
補正抵抗に流れる電流は、変化しない。
Thus, even if the resistance value of the current detection resistor changes by a predetermined value due to a change in ambient temperature or self-heating, the resistance value of the correction resistor also changes by a predetermined value.
That is, when the voltage value applied to the current detection resistor changes while the current value does not change due to the change in the resistance value due to the temperature change, the resistance value of the correction resistor also changes.
The current flowing through the correction resistor does not change.

【0040】このように、補正抵抗に流れる電流値は、
温度に依存しなくなるため、電流検出抵抗を温度特性の
良くない安価な抵抗から構成しても、高精度な定電流電
源を供給できるようになる。
Thus, the value of the current flowing through the correction resistor is
Since it does not depend on temperature, it is possible to supply a high-precision constant current power supply even if the current detection resistor is formed of an inexpensive resistor having poor temperature characteristics.
