The device operates as a true twoterminal current source, requiring no extra power connections or input signals.

Because the operating current is directly proportional to absolute temperature in degrees Kelvin, the device will also find wide applications as a temperature sensor. The temperature dependence of the operating current is 0.336%/°C at room temperature. For example, a device operating at 298µA will have a temperature coefficient of 1µA/°C. The temperature dependence is extremely accurate and repeatable. Devices specified as temperature sensors in the 100µA to 1mA range are the LM134-3, LM234-3 and the LM134-6, LM234-6, with the dash numbers indicating ±3°C and ±6°C accuracies, respectively. If a zero temperature coefficient current source is required, this is easily achieved by adding a diode and a resistor.

A reference voltage of 64mV is applied to the minus input of A1 with respect to the V – pin. A1 serves the drive to Q2 to keep the R pin at 64mV, independent of the value of RSET. Transistor Q1 is matched to Q2 at a 17:1 ratio so that the current flowing out of the V – pin is always 1/18 of the total current into the V+ pin. This total current is called ISET and is equal to:  64mV   18  67.7mV    = RSET  RSET   17  the device is ±2% when the room temperature current is set to the exact desired value. Supply Voltage Slew Rate At slew rates above a given threshold (see curve), the LM134 may exhibit nonlinear current shifts. The slewing rate at which this occurs is directly proportional to ISET. At ISET = 10µA, maximum dv/dt is 0.01V/µs; at ISET = 1mA, the limits is 1V/µs. Slew rates above the limit do not harm the LM134, or cause large currents to flow. Thermal Effects V+ ISET Q1 Q2 + R A1 – + RSET 64mV – V– 134 F01 Internal heating can have a significant effect on current regulation for ISET greater than 100µA. For example, each 1V increase across the LM134 at ISET = 1mA will increase junction temperature by ≈0.4°C in still air. Output current (ISET) has a temperature coefficient of ≈0.33%/°C, so the change in current due to temperature rise will be (0.4)(0.33) = 0.132%. This is a 10:1 degradation in regulation compared to true electrical effects. Thermal effects, therefore, must be taken into account when DC regulation is critical and ISET exceeds 100µA. Heat sinking of the TO-46 package or the TO-92 leads can reduce this effect by more than 3:1. Figure 1. Shunt Capacitance The 67.7mV equivalent reference voltage is directly proportional to absolute temperature in degrees Kelvin (see curve, “Operating Current vs Temperature”). This means that the reference voltage can be plotted as a straight line going from 0mV at absolute zero temperature to 67.7mV at 298°K (25°C). The slope of this line is 67.7mV/298 = 227µV/°C. The accuracy of the device is specified as a percent error at room temperature, or in the case of the -3 and -6 devices, as both a percent error and an equivalent temperature error. The LM134 operating current changes at a percent rate equal to (100)(227µV/°C)/(67.7mV) = 0.336%/ °C at 25°C, so each 1% operating current error is equivalent to ≈3°C temperature error when the device is used as a temperature sensor. The slope accuracy (temperature coefficient) of the LM134 is expressed as a ratio compared to unity. The LM134-3, for instance, is specified at 0.98 to 1.02, indicating that the maximum slope error of In certain applications, the 15pF shunt capacitance of the LM134 may have to be reduced, either because of loading problems or because it limits the AC output impedance of the current source. This can be easily accomplished by buffering the LM134 with a FET, as shown in the applications. This can reduce capacitance to less than 3pF and improve regulation by at least an order of magnitude. DC characteristics (with the exception of minimum input voltage) are not affected. Noise Current noise generated by the LM134 is approximately 4 times the shot noise of a transistor. If the LM134 is used as an active load for a transistor amplifier, input referred noise will be increased by about 12dB. In many cases, this is acceptable and a single stage amplifier can be built with a voltage gain exceeding 2000. 5 LM134 Series U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Lead Resistance The sense voltage which determines the operating current of the LM134 is less than 100mV. At this level, thermocouple or lead resistance effects should be minimized by locating the current setting resistor physically close to the device. Sockets should be avoided if possible. It takes only 0.7Ω contact resistance to reduce output current by 1% at the 1mA level. Start-Up Time The LM134 is designed to operate at currents as low as 1µA. This requires that internal biasing current be well below that level because the device achieves its wide operating current range by using part of the operating current as bias current for the internal circuitry. To ensure start-up, however, a fixed trickle current must be provided internally. This is typically in the range of 20nA to 200nA and is provided by the special ultralow IDDS FETs shown in the Schematic Diagrams as Q7 and Q8. The start-up time of the LM134 is determined by the IDSS of these FETs and the capacitor C1. This capacitor must charge to approximately 500mV before Q3 turns on to start normal circuit operation. This takes as long as (500mV)(50pF)/(20nA) = 1.25ms for very low IDSS values. Using the LM134 as a Temperature Sensor Because it has a highly linear output characteristic, the LM134 makes a good temperature sensor. It is particularly useful in remote sensing applications because it is a current output device and is therefore not affected by long wire runs. It is easy to calibrate, has good long term stability and can be interfaced directly with most data acquisition systems, eliminating the expensive preamplifiers required for thermocouples and platinum sensors. A typical temperature sensor application is shown in Figure␣ 2. The LM134 operating current at 25°C is set at 298µA by the 226Ω resistor, giving an output of 1µA/°K. The current flows through the twisted pair sensor leads to the 10k termination resistor, which converts the current output to a voltage of 10mV/°K referred to ground. The 6 voltage across the 10k resistor will be 2.98V at 25°C, with a slope of 10mV/°C. The simplest way to convert this signal to a Centigrade scale is to subtract a constant 2.73V in software. Alternately, a hardware conversion can be used, as shown in Figure 3, using an LT1009 as a level shifter to offset the output to a Centigrade scale. The resistor (RSET) used to set the operating current of the LM134 in temperature sensing applications should have low temperature coefficient and good long term stability. A 30ppm/°C drift in the resistor will change the slope of the temperature sensor by 1%, assuming that the resistor is at the same temperature as the sensor, which is usually the case since the resistor should be located physically close to the LM134 to prevent errors due to wire resistance. A long term shift of 0.3% in the resistor will create a 1°C temperature error. The long term drift of the LM134 is typically much better than this, so stable resistors must be used for best long term performance. Calibration of the LM134 as a temperature sensor is extremely easy. Referring to Figure 2, calibration is achieved by trimming the termination resistor. This theoretically trims both zero and slope simultaneously for Centigrade and Fahrenheit applications. The initial errors in the LM134 are directly proportional to absolute temperature, just like the actual output. This allows the sensor to be trimmed at any temperature and have the slope error be corrected at the same time. Residual slope error is typically less than 1% after this single trim is completed.

In Figure 4, separate zero and slope trims are provided. Residual nonlinearity is now the limitation on accuracy. Nonlinearity of the LM134 in a 100°C span is typically less than 0.5°C. This particular method of trimming has the advantage that the slope trim does not interact with the zero trim. Trim procedure is to adjust for zero output with TSENSOR = 0°C, then trim slope for proper output at some convenient second temperature. No further trimming is required. The two trims shown in Figure 3 are still intended to be a “one point” temperature calibration, where the zero and the slope are trimmed at a single temperature. The LT1009 reference is adjusted to give 2.700V at node “a” at TSENSOR = 25°C. The 1k trimmer then adjusts the output for 0.25V, completing the calibration. If the calibration is to be done at a temperature other than 25°C , trim the LT1009 for 2.7025—(1µA)[TSENSOR (°C)](100Ω) at node “a”, then adjust the 1k trimmer for proper output.
