Description

Calogic's current regulator diode CA500 is available in plastic TO-92 and surface mount SOT-23. The devices are selected for narrow current ranges and are excellent choices for test instrumentation and medical applications. With nominal current ranges from 0.24mA to 4.7mA, all in 20% bands. CA500 allow the designer a cost effective method of providing a current regulator with no power supply requirements and lower part count. The lower current devices operate at 1 volt.
