Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of power supply control, in particular to a constant current source power supply circuit. Background technique [0002] A constant current source is a power supply that can supply a constant current to a load. A constant current source allows a large change in load resistance while keeping the load current constant. Constant current sources are generally divided into transistor constant current sources, field effect tube constant current sources, and integrated op amp constant current sources. The power field effect tube can output a large current and has good output characteristics: when the voltage between the source and the gate of the power field effect tube is constant, the current of its drain is constant, and within a certain range The voltage change between the drain and the source has nothing to do with the drain current, so it has better constant current performance. In large-capacity battery chargers, te...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the power supply voltage of the traditional constant current source is generally a fixed voltage, which not only limits the maximum output current, but also is not suitable for applications where the load resistance changes greatly and the output current range is large.

Because in the occasions where the output current is large and the load resistance changes greatly, the voltage between the drain and source of the power field effect transistor changes greatly, resulting in large tube consumption.

The heat generated due to the large tube consumption will increase the junction temperature. If proper heat dissipation measures are not taken, it will cause a large temperature drift, thereby deteriorating the constant current performance, and even burning the power FET
