Constant current generators (CCGs), as the name suggests, are circuits designed to produce a steady load current regardless of significant fluctuations in load resistance or voltage levels. Basic Constant Current Generator Circuit Illustrated in Figure 1 is a basic example of such a circuit. In this configuration, Q1 operates in the common emitter mode. A […]

FET Current Source: Explained with Formulas
An FET Current Source is one special type of active circuit that is using a Field Effect Transistor for giving a steady and constant current into a circuit. We are doing this because sometimes we want that current should not change, it should remain fixed and stable. Why We Need Constant Current Now you may […]
How to Make Adjustable Current Limiter Circuits
In many sensitive electronic circuits or loads, adjusting the current limit in its power supply could be one of the most crucial requirements for ensuring a fail proof safety for the various vulnerable devices. A simple method of sensing current this using resistors has been discussed in this article. Integrating a Current Sensor Stage The […]
Difference Between Alternating Current(AC) and Direct Current(DC)
In this post we try to investigate the mains differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The word AC and DC are pretty common with electronics and we all come across it while developing or dealing electronic circuit designs. Overview Though the terms are very ordinary with the field, many noobs become confused […]
Difference Between Current and Voltage – What is Voltage, What is Current
The following data explains the important aspects connected with the electrical parameters like voltage and current, the content also explains in simple words how to differentiate the two parameters. What is Current It is the number of electrons flowing at any instant through a conductor or across the positive and the negative of a conductor […]
