The invention provides a constant-
current source circuit with current monitoring capability. The constant-
current source circuit comprises a basic constant-
current source circuit, a current detection circuit, a
voltage conditioning circuit, a comparison circuit, a
signal retaining circuit, a power supply
control circuit and a power conversion circuit, wherein the power conversion circuit is used for providing working voltages to the other circuits; the current detection circuit is used for converting output currents of the basic constant-current source circuit into
voltage signals and providing the
voltage signals to the voltage conditioning circuit; the voltage conditioning circuit is used for conditioning the voltage signals and then outputting the voltage signals to the comparison circuit; the comparison circuit is used for comparing conditioned voltages with a preset voltage and sending an on / off
control signal to the
signal retaining circuit; the
signal retaining circuit is used for outputting the signal to the power supply
control circuit; the power supply
control circuit is used for controlling the power conversion circuit to perform power supply or power breakdown on the basic constant-current source circuit. The constant-current source circuit can be used for monitoring the output currents of a constant-current source in real time, and
cutting off the power supply of the constant-current source when the output current exceeds a set value, thus
cutting off the output current of the constant-current source so as to avoid damages on
electric equipment.
