This document describes a method for converting temperature to current using the LT3092 high-linearity current source.
This document introduces the LT3092, a device that simplifies the creation of a 2-terminal current source. It utilizes an internal current source and error amplifier along with the ratio of two external resistors to program a constant output current ranging from 0.5mA to 200mA. The design highlights the flat temperature coefficient of the internal reference, eliminating the need for low-temperature-coefficient resistors.
The device can program a constant output current at any level between 0.5mA and 200mA.
No, no frequency compensation or supply bypass capacitors are needed as these features are internal.
