The FET Constant-Current Source/Limiter
Introduction
The combination of low associated operating voltage and
high output impedance makes the FET attractive as a
constant-current source. An adjustable-current source (Fig-
ure 1) may be built with a FET, a variable resistor, and a
small battery. For optimum thermal stability, the FET should
be biased near the zero temperature coefficient point.

Whenever the FET is operated in the current saturated re-
gion, its output conductance is very low. This occurs
whenever the drain-source voltage V
DS
is at least 50%
greater than the cut-off voltage V
GS(off)
. The FET may be
biased to operate as a constant-current source at any cur-
rent below its saturation current I
DSS
.
Basic Source Biasing
For a given device where I

and V
GS(off)
are known, the
approximate V

required for a given I

A change in supply voltage or a change in load imped-
ance, will change I
D
by only a small factor because of the
low output conductance g

.

The value of g
oss
is an important consideration in the ac-
curacy of a constant-current source where the supply volt-
age may vary. As g
oss
may range from less than 1 S to
more than 50 S according to the FET type, the dynamic
impedance can be greater than 1 M to less than 20 k .
This corresponds to a current stability range of 1 A to
50 A per volt. The value of g
oss
also depends on the op-
erating point. Output conductance g
oss
decrease approxi-
mately linearly with I
D
. The relationship is

Cascading for Low g
oss
It is possible to achieve much lower g

per unit I

by
cascading two FETs, as shown in Figure 2.
