Abstract :
Measuring resistance, performing a coulometric titration, measuring semiconductor breakdown voltages, operating IMPATT diodes, testing electrolytic capacitors, measuring magnetic field intensity¿these represent only a few of the applications of constant-current sources. Some of the features of constant-current supplies, as well as the requirements imposed on these sources and techniques for using them in a variety of applications, are described in this article.
