This is the adjustable current source I am working on. Can anyone help me verify this schematic to see if it works. I want to make sure it works before i turn it into board and build it.
I did build a prototype, but it only goes to 800ma. I was expected 1A from one chip.
I only use 1 LT3080 in prototype.
These regulator are rated 1.1A each and Vin up to 36V.
Tr1 and Tr2 is the pad for potentiometers.
I am looking for second opinion on this circuit.
I have not verified the part values, but the schematic looks ok to me. I build a lab supply with the LT3083 once and it worked fine. Did you take the Vdrop into account? This might explain why you are only seeing the 800mA instead of 1A. Try a supply with a higher voltage and see if that helps.
In addition to that you could run a simulation in LTSpice to verify your part values. It's easy to use, free and quite accurate, especially for LT parts ;-)
