Current is established with one external resistor and no other parts are required. Initial current accuracy is ±3%. The LM134/LM234/LM334 are true floating current sources with no separate power supply connections. In addition, reverse applied voltages of up to 20V will draw only a few dozen microamperes of current, allowing the devices to act as both a rectifier and current source in AC applications. The sense voltage used to establish operating current in the LM134 is 64mV at 25°C and is directly proportional to absolute temperature (°K). The simplest one external resistor connection, then, generates a current with ≈+0.33%/°C temperature dependence. Zero drift operation can be obtained by adding one extra resistor and a diode. Applications for the current sources include bias networks, surge protection, low power reference, ramp generation, LED driver, and temperature sensing. The LM234-3 and LM234-6 are specified as true temperature sensors with ensured initial accuracy of ±3°C and ±6°C, respectively. These devices are ideal in remote sense applications because series resistance in long wire runs does not affect accuracy. In addition, only 2 wires are required. The LM134 is specified over a temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, the LM234 from −25°C to +100°C and the LM334 from 0°C to +70°C. These devices are available in TO hermetic, TO-92 and SOIC-8 plastic packages. Connection Diagrams Figure 1.

These include the effects of slewing, power dissipation, capacitance, noise, and contact resistance. Calculating RSET The total current through the LM134 (ISET) is the sum of the current going through the SET resistor (IR) and the LM134's bias current (IBIAS), as shown in Figure 13. Figure 13. Basic Current Source A graph showing the ratio of these two currents is supplied under Ratio of ISET to IBIAS in Typical Performance Characteristics. The current flowing through RSET is determined by VR, which is approximately 214μV/°K (64 mV/298°K ∼ 214μV/°K). (1) Since (for a given set current) IBIAS is simply a percentage of ISET, the equation can be rewritten where • n is the ratio of ISET to IBIAS as specified in Electrical Characteristics and shown in the graph (2) Since n is typically 18 for 2μA ≤ ISET ≤ 1mA, the equation can be further simplified to (3) for most set currents. Slew Rate At slew rates above a given threshold (see curve), the LM134 may exhibit non-linear 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 limit is 1V/μs. Slew rates above the limit do not harm the LM134, or cause large currents to flow. Thermal Effects 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 = 1 mA 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 package or the TO-92 leads can reduce this effect by more than 3:1. 6 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2000–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM134 LM234 LM334 LM134, LM234, LM334 www.ti.com SNVS746E – MARCH 2000 – REVISED MAY 2013 Shunt Capacitance In certain applications, the 15 pF 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 an FET as shown in the applications. This can reduce capacitance to less than 3 pF 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. Lead Resistance The sense voltage which determines 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 1 mA level. Sensing Temperature The LM134 makes an ideal remote temperature sensor because its current mode operation does not lose accuracy over long wire runs. Output current is directly proportional to absolute temperature in degrees Kelvin, according to the following formula: (4) Calibration of the LM134 is greatly simplified because of the fact that most of the initial inaccuracy is due to a gain term (slope error) and not an offset. This means that a calibration consisting of a gain adjustment only will trim both slope and zero at the same time. In addition, gain adjustment is a one point trim because the output of the LM134 extrapolates to zero at 0°K, independent of RSET or any initial inaccuracy. Figure 14. Gain Adjustment This property of the LM134 is illustrated in the accompanying graph. Line abc is the sensor current before trimming. Line a′b′c′ is the desired output. A gain trim done at T2 will move the output from b to b′ and will simultaneously correct the slope so that the output at T1 and T3 will be correct. This gain trim can be done on RSET or on the load resistor used to terminate the LM134. Slope error after trim will normally be less than ±1%. To maintain this accuracy, however, a low temperature coefficient resistor must be used for RSET. A 33 ppm/°C drift of RSET will give a 1% slope error because the resistor will normally see about the same temperature variations as the LM134. Separating RSET from the LM134 requires 3 wires and has lead resistance problems, so is not normally recommended. Metal film resistors with less than 20 ppm/°C drift are readily available. Wire wound resistors may also be used where best stability is required.

The circuit shown in Figure 15 balances the positive tempco of the LM134 (about +0.23 mV/°C) with the negative tempco of a forward-biased silicon diode (about −2.5 mV/°C). Figure 15. Zero Tempco Current Source The set current (ISET) is the sum of I1 and I2, each contributing approximately 50% of the set current, and IBIAS. IBIAS is usually included in the I1 term by increasing the VR value used for calculations by 5.9%. (See CALCULATING RSET.) (5) The first step is to minimize the tempco of the circuit, using the following equations. An example is given using a value of +227μV/°C as the tempco of the LM134 (which includes the IBIAS component), and −2.5 mV/°C as the tempco of the diode (for best results, this value should be directly measured or obtained from the manufacturer of the diode). (6) (7) With the R1 to R2 ratio determined, values for R1 and R2 should be determined to give the desired set current. The formula for calculating the set current at T = 25°C is shown below, followed by an example that assumes the forward voltage drop across the diode (VD) is 0.6V, the voltage across R1 is 67.7mV (64 mV + 5.9% to account for IBIAS), and R2/R1 = 10 (from the previous calculations). 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2000–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM134 LM234 LM334 LM134, LM234, LM334 www.ti.com SNVS746E – MARCH 2000 – REVISED MAY 2013 (8) This circuit will eliminate most of the LM134's temperature coefficient, and it does a good job even if the estimates of the diode's characteristics are not accurate (as the following example will show). For lowest tempco with a specific diode at the desired ISET, however, the circuit should be built and tested over temperature. If the measured tempco of ISET is positive, R2 should be reduced. If the resulting tempco is negative, R2 should be increased. The recommended diode for use in this circuit is the 1N457 because its tempco is centered at 11 times the tempco of the LM134, allowing R2 = 10 R1. You can also use this circuit to create a current source with non-zero tempcos by setting the tempco component of the tempco equation to the desired value instead of 0. EXAMPLE: A 1mA, Zero-Tempco Current Source First, solve for R1 and R2: (9) The values of R1 and R2 can be changed to standard 1% resistor values (R1 = 133Ω and R2 = 1.33kΩ) with less than a 0.75% error. If the forward voltage drop of the diode was 0.65V instead of the estimate of 0.6V (an error of 8%), the actual set current will be (10) an error of less than 5%. If the estimate for the tempco of the diode's forward voltage drop was off, the tempco cancellation is still reasonably effective. Assume the tempco of the diode is 2.6mV/°C instead of 2.5mV/°C (an error of 4%). The tempco of the circuit is now: (11) A 1mA LM134 current source with no temperature compensation would have a set resistor of 68Ω and a resulting tempco of (12) So even if the diode's tempco varies as much as ±4% from its estimated value, the circuit still eliminates 98% of the LM134's inherent tempco.
