LM134/LM234/LM334
3-Terminal Adjustable Current Sources
General Description
The LM134/LM234/LM334 are 3-terminal adjustable current
sources featuring 10,000:1 range in operating current, excel-
lent current regulation and a wide dynamic voltage range of
1V to 40V. Current is established with one external resistor
and no other parts are required. Initial current accuracy is
±
sources with no separate power supply connections. In ad-
dition, 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 abso-
lute temperature (˚K). The simplest one external resistor
connection, then, generates a current with ≈+0.33%/˚C tem-
perature 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,

LM234-6 are specified as true temperature sensors with
guaranteed initial accuracy of
These devices are ideal in remote sense applications be-
cause series resistance in long wire runs does not affect
accuracy. In addition, only 2 wires are required.
The LM134 is guaranteed 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-46 hermetic, TO-92 and SO-8 plastic packages.

... Typical Performance Characteristics Turn-On Voltage Application Hints The LM134 has been designed for ease of application, but a general discussion of design features is presented here to familiarize the designer with device characteristics which may not be immediately obvious. These include the effects of slewing, power dissipation, capacitance, noise, and con- tact resistance ...

... 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 ...
