Abstract

The invention discloses a semiconductor galvanostat which belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices. The semiconductor galvanostat comprises an MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) (14), a voltage stabilizing diode (13) and a current limiting resistor (12) which are integrated on the same chip. One end of the voltage stabilizing diode is connected with the grid G of the MOSFET, the other end of the voltage stabilizing diode is connected with the source S of the MOSFET, one end of the current limiting resistor is connected with the drain D of the MOSFET, and the other end of the current limiting resistor is connected with the grid G of the MOSFET. The voltage stabilizing diode can be used for clamping a voltage of the grid of the MOSFET, so that the current ID of a drain source of the MOSFET is maintained constant; and the current limiting resistor R can inhibit the current of the voltage stabilizing diode. The current limiting resistor can be a polycrystalline silicon resistor and also be a trap resistor. The semiconductor galvanostat has the characteristics of simple structure, remarkable constant current effect, and stable temperature, and can be used as an LED illumination load constant-current drive source.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices and relates to constant current driving technology. Background technique

[0002] A constant current device is a device that can provide a constant current to the load, and it can keep the output current constant when the external power supply fluctuates and the impedance characteristics change. The constant current device has a development history of nearly 50 years. From the early electric vacuum device, the constant current tube, it has developed into a semiconductor constant current diode and a constant current triode, and now it has entered the integrated current Four-terminal adjustable constant current device, high-voltage constant current device, constant current type integrated temperature sensor) in a new era of comprehensive development. Semiconductor constant current devices are roughly divided into the following three types:
