This circuit utilizes a CA018 BiMOS operational amplifier. A low current, supplied at the input potential as a power supply to the load resistor RL, is amplified by the resistor ratio R2/R1, while the load current h is monitored using a power supply meter M. Therefore, if h is 100 nA, with the specified values, h presented to the supply will be 100 pA.
The circuit operates using a CA018 BiMOS operational amplifier, which is known for its low power consumption and high input impedance. The configuration is designed to amplify a small current supplied at the input to drive a load resistor, RL. The operational amplifier is powered by a low voltage, allowing it to function efficiently in battery-operated or low-power applications.
In this setup, the resistors R1 and R2 form a voltage divider that determines the gain of the circuit. The gain can be calculated using the formula Gain = R2/R1. This gain amplifies the input current, enabling the circuit to manage small signals effectively. The load current, denoted as h, is monitored by a power supply meter, M, which provides a visual representation of the current flowing through the load.
When the load current h is set to 100 nA, the circuit is designed such that the current presented to the power supply will be reduced to 100 pA. This significant reduction is a result of the gain setting provided by the resistors R1 and R2, allowing the circuit to operate within the desired parameters while maintaining accuracy in current measurement.
Overall, this circuit exemplifies a precise method for amplifying low-level currents in electronic applications, enabling effective monitoring and control of small signals in various electronic systems.This circuit uses a CA018 BiMOS op amp. Low current, supplied at input potential as power supply to load resistor RL, is increased by R2/R1, when load current h is monitored by power supply meter M. Thus, if his 100 nA, with values shown, h presented to supply will be 100 p,A. 🔗 External reference
