Overview

This low-side voltage-to-current (V-I) converter delivers a well-regulated current to a load which can be connected to a voltage greater than the op amp supply voltage. The circuit accepts an input voltage from 0 V to 10 V and converts it to a current from 0 A and 1 A. The current is accurately regulated by feeding back the voltage drop across a low-side current-sense resistor (R5) to the op amp.
Features
