Example 6-6
programmable current source using a voltage follower.
The current sensor (sensor resistor) is used to convert
the DAC voltage output into a digitally-selectable
current source.
Adding the resistor network from
be advantageous in this application. The smaller R
is, the less power is dissipated across it. However, this
also reduces the resolution that the current can be
controlled with. The voltage divider, or “window”, DAC
configuration would allow the range to be reduced, thus
increasing the resolution around the range of interest.

When working with very small sensor voltages, plan on
eliminating the amplifier’s offset error by storing the
DAC's setting under known sensor conditions.
