(Plastic micropackage)
The current is determined by an external resistor
without requiring other external components.
Pin connections
Reverse voltages of up to 20V will only draw a
current of several microamperes. This enables the
circuit to operate as a rectifier and as a source of
current in a.c. applications.

(Bottom view)
For the LM134/LM234/LM334, the voltage on the
control pin is 64mV at +25°C and is directly
proportional to the absolute temperature (°K). The
simplest external resistor connection generates a
current with approximately 0.33%/°C temperature
dependence. Zero drift can be obtained by adding
an additional resistor and a diode to the external
circuit.

1. The set current is the current flowing into the V+ pin. It is determined by the following formula:
Iset = 67.7mV/Rset (Tj = +25°C)
The set current error is expressed as a percent deviation from this amount.
2. Iset is directly proportional to absolute temperature (°K). Iset at any temperature can be calculated from
Iset = Io (T/To)
where Io is Iset measured at To (°K).

Application information
4.1
Slew rate
LM134-LM234-LM334
At slew rates above a threshold (see Figure 4 and Figure 5), the LM134, LM234, LM334 can
have a non-linear current characteristic. The slew rate at which this takes place is directly
proportional to Iset. At Iset = 10µA, dv/dt max. = 0.01V/µs ; at Iset = 1mA, dv/dt max. = 1V/µs.
Slew rates of more than 1V/µs do not damage the circuit nor do they produce high currents.
4.2
Thermal effects
Internal heating can have a significant effect on current regulation for an Iset above 100µA.
For example, each increase of 1V in the voltage across the LM134 at Iset = 1mA will
increase the junction temperature by ≈ 0.4°C (in still air). The output current (Iset) has a
temperature coefficient of about 0.33%/°C. Thus the change in current due to the increase
in temperature will be (0.4) (0.33) = 0.132%. This is a degradation of 10 : 1 in regulation
versus the true electrical effects. Thermal effects should be taken into account when d.c.
regulation is critical and Iset is higher than 100µA.
4.3
Shunt capacitance
In certain applications, the 15pF value for the shunt capacitance should be reduced:
●
because of loading problems,
●
because of limitation of output impedance of the current source in a.c. applications.
You can easily reduce the capacitance by adding a FET as shown in Typical applications on
page 8.
The value of this capacitance can be reduced by at least 3pF and regulation can be
improved by an order of magnitude without any modifications of the d.c. characteristics
(except for the minimum input voltage).
4.4
Noise
The current noise produced by LM134, LM234, and LM334 is about 4 times that of a
transistor. If the LM134, LM234, LM334 is used as an active load for a transistor amplifier,
the noise at the input will increase by about 12dB. In most cases this is acceptable, and a
single amplifier can be built with a voltage gain higher than 2000.
4.5
Lead resistance
The sense voltage which determines the current of the LM134, LM234, LM334 is less than
100mV. At this level, the thermocouple effects and the connection resistance should be
reduced by locating the current setting resistor close to the device. Do not use sockets for
the ICs. A contact resistance of 0.7Ω is sufficient to decrease the output current by 1% at the
1mA level.

Application information
Sensing temperature
The LM134, LM234, LM334 are excellent remote controlled temperature sensors because
their operation as current sources preserves their accuracy even in the case of long
connecting wires. The output current is directly proportional to the absolute temperature in
Kelvin degrees according to the following equation.
( 227µV/°K) (T )
I set = ----------------------------------------R set
The calibration of the LM134, LM234, LM334 is simplified by the fact that most of the initial
accuracy is due to gain limitation (slope error) and not an offset. Gain adjustment is a one
point trim because the output of the device extrapolates to zero at 0°K.
Figure 10. Device calibration
This particularity of the LM134, LM234, LM334 is illustrated in the above diagram. Line abc
represents the sensor current before adjustment and line a’b’c’ represents the desired
output. A gain adjustment provided at T2 will move the output from b to b’ and will correct
the slope at the same time so that the output at T1 and T3 will be correct. This gain
adjustment can be carried out by means of Rset or the load resistor used in the circuit. After
adjustment, the slope error should be less than 1%. A low temperature coefficient for Rset is
necessary to keep this accuracy. A 33ppm/°C temperature drift of Rset will give an error of
1% on the slope because the resistance follows the same temperature variations as the
LM134, LM234, LM334.
Three wires are required to isolate Rset from the LM134, LM234, LM334. Since this solution
is not recommended, metal-film resistors with a drift of less than 20ppm/°C are now
available. Wirewound resistors can be used when very high stability is required.
