INCREASING CURRENT DRIVE

Extra output current can be obtained by adding external driver

transistors. Crossover distortion is minimized by allowing the

amplifier to drive the lower currents directly via the bypass

resistor, as is shown in Figure 68. This circuit can provide a few

hundred miliamps; however, keep the driver transistors within

their safe operating area. For heavier loads (up to 5 A), power

Darlingtons can be used, as is shown in Figure 69.

CONSTANT CURRENT APPLICATIONS

When a constant current with high compliance is needed, the

ADA4700-1 can be used as a modified Howland current pump.

The values shown in Figure 70 yield a transfer function of 1 mA/V.

Applying this analysis to the modified Howland current pump

in Figure 71 results in an output capability of 1 A/V.
