LM334Z Description

The LM334Z is 3-terminal adjustable current sources characterized by:

■ an operating current range of 10000

■ an excellent current regulation

■ a wide dynamic voltage range of 1V t 10V The current is determined by an external resistor without requiring other external components.

Reverse voltages of up to 20V will only draw a current of several microamperes.  This enables the circuit to operate as a rectifier and as a source of current in a.c. applications. For the LM334Z, the voltage on the control pin is 64mV at +25°C and is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (°K).  The simplest external resistor connection generates a current with approximately 0.33%/°C temperature dependence. Zero drift can be obtained by adding an additional resistor and a diode to the external circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.How to connect LM334 when used as a temperature sensor?
The connection only needs to connect a resistor between the R terminal and the -VIN terminal, and the voltage is DC. A few hundred ohms of resistance Rset is almost the same.
2.What IC can measure the resistance value and convert it into a digital signal to be read by the single-chip microcomputer?
There are many ways to measure resistance: Constant current source: Some chips such as LM334 itself are a constant current source. Let a constant current flow through the measured resistance, and then use AD to measure the voltage (when the voltage is too small, use a proportional amplifier circuit composed of an operational amplifier to amplify it), and send it to the single-chip microcomputer for analysis.
3.I now need to make a constant current source power supply circuit for the sensor. The system voltage is 5V, the sensor's internal resistance is 4.5K and 3.6K, and the constant current is 0.6mA or 0.8mA. Is LM334Z OK?
LM334 doesn't work, its current is 10mA. You can use TL317CLP to realize the constant current function.
