Is it possible to make a constant DAC controlled current source using LT3092

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LT3092

I am trying to make a constant current source using LT3092 .My DAC maximum output is 3.3V and at that time the current source needs to generate a current of 20mA.

For generating 20mA the RSET(R1 in schematic) value needs to be 165 Ohm . Please see my circuit below.

The issue what I am facing is my load will come in series with RSET and this is changing the desired current. May I know is there any way to solve this issue.

Below is the circuit with load.You can see that the current is changed.

I want my output current to be independent of load .Can you please help me

  • Hi,
    it seems to me that you are not using this ic as intended.
    In datasheet you can see Rset and Rout connected together forming your i_out terminal.
    Is what you want a voltage to current converter? To convert your dac voltage to output current?
    For this you will need a different circuit.
