APPLICATION HINTS
The LM134 has been designed for ease of application, but a general discussion of design features is presented
here to familiarize the designer with device characteristics which may not be immediately obvious. These include
the effects of slewing, power dissipation, capacitance, noise, and contact resistance.
Calculating RSET
The total current through the LM134 (ISET) is the sum of the current going through the SET resistor (IR) and the
LM134's bias current (IBIAS), as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Basic Current Source
A graph showing the ratio of these two currents is supplied under Ratio of ISET to IBIAS in Typical Performance
Characteristics. The current flowing through RSET is determined by VR, which is approximately 214μV/°K (64
mV/298°K ∼214μV/°K).
(1)
Since (for a given set current) IBIAS is simply a percentage of ISET, the equation can be rewritten
where
• n is the ratio of ISET to IBIAS as specified in Electrical Characteristics and shown in the graph (2)
Since n is typically 18 for 2μA≤ISET ≤1mA, the equation can be further simplified to
(3)
for most set currents.
Slew Rate
At slew rates above a given threshold (see curve), the LM134 may exhibit non-linear current shifts. The slewing
rate at which this occurs is directly proportional to ISET. At ISET = 10μA, maximum dV/dt is 0.01V/μs; at ISET =
1mA, the limit is 1V/μs. Slew rates above the limit do not harm the LM134, or cause large currents to flow.
Thermal Effects
Internal heating can have a significant effect on current regulation for ISET greater than 100μA. For example, each
1V increase across the LM134 at ISET = 1 mA will increase junction temperature by ≈0.4°C in still air. Output
current (ISET) has a temperature coefficient of ≈0.33%/°C, so the change in current due to temperature rise will be
(0.4) (0.33) = 0.132%. This is a 10:1 degradation in regulation compared to true electrical effects. Thermal
effects, therefore, must be taken into account when DC regulation is critical and ISET exceeds 100μA. Heat
sinking of the TO package or the TO-92 leads can reduce this effect by more than 3:1.

SNVS746E –MARCH 2000–REVISED MAY 2013
Shunt Capacitance
In certain applications, the 15 pF shunt capacitance of the LM134 may have to be reduced, either because of
loading problems or because it limits the AC output impedance of the current source. This can be easily
accomplished by buffering the LM134 with an FET as shown in the applications. This can reduce capacitance to
less than 3 pF and improve regulation by at least an order of magnitude. DC characteristics (with the exception
of minimum input voltage), are not affected.
Noise
Current noise generated by the LM134 is approximately 4 times the shot noise of a transistor. If the LM134 is
used as an active load for a transistor amplifier, input referred noise will be increased by about 12dB. In many
cases, this is acceptable and a single stage amplifier can be built with a voltage gain exceeding 2000.
Lead Resistance
The sense voltage which determines operating current of the LM134 is less than 100mV. At this level,
thermocouple or lead resistance effects should be minimized by locating the current setting resistor physically
close to the device. Sockets should be avoided if possible. It takes only 0.7Ωcontact resistance to reduce output
current by 1% at the 1 mA level.
Sensing Temperature
The LM134 makes an ideal remote temperature sensor because its current mode operation does not lose
accuracy over long wire runs. Output current is directly proportional to absolute temperature in degrees Kelvin,
according to the following formula:
(4)
Calibration of the LM134 is greatly simplified because of the fact that most of the initial inaccuracy is due to a
gain term (slope error) and not an offset. This means that a calibration consisting of a gain adjustment only will
trim both slope and zero at the same time. In addition, gain adjustment is a one point trim because the output of
the LM134 extrapolates to zero at 0°K, independent of RSET or any initial inaccuracy.
Figure 14. Gain Adjustment
This property of the LM134 is illustrated in the accompanying graph. Line abc is the sensor current before
trimming. Line a′b′c′is the desired output. A gain trim done at T2 will move the output from b to b′and will
simultaneously correct the slope so that the output at T1 and T3 will be correct. This gain trim can be done on
RSET or on the load resistor used to terminate the LM134. Slope error after trim will normally be less than ±1%.
To maintain this accuracy, however, a low temperature coefficient resistor must be used for RSET.
A 33 ppm/°C drift of RSET will give a 1% slope error because the resistor will normally see about the same
temperature variations as the LM134. Separating RSET from the LM134 requires 3 wires and has lead resistance
problems, so is not normally recommended. Metal film resistors with less than 20 ppm/°C drift are readily
available. Wire wound resistors may also be used where best stability is required.

Application as a Zero Temperature Coefficent Current Source
Adding a diode and a resistor to the standard LM134 configuration can cancel the temperature-dependent
characteristic of the LM134. The circuit shown in Figure 15 balances the positive tempco of the LM134 (about
+0.23 mV/°C) with the negative tempco of a forward-biased silicon diode (about −2.5 mV/°C).
Figure 15. Zero Tempco Current Source
The set current (ISET) is the sum of I1and I2, each contributing approximately 50% of the set current, and IBIAS.
IBIAS is usually included in the I1term by increasing the VRvalue used for calculations by 5.9%. (See
CALCULATING RSET.)
(5)
The first step is to minimize the tempco of the circuit, using the following equations. An example is given using a
value of +227μV/°C as the tempco of the LM134 (which includes the IBIAS component), and −2.5 mV/°C as the
tempco of the diode (for best results, this value should be directly measured or obtained from the manufacturer
of the diode).
(6)
(7)
With the R1to R2ratio determined, values for R1and R2should be determined to give the desired set current.
The formula for calculating the set current at T = 25°C is shown below, followed by an example that assumes the
forward voltage drop across the diode (VD) is 0.6V, the voltage across R1is 67.7mV (64 mV + 5.9% to account
for IBIAS), and R2/R1= 10 (from the previous calculations).

This circuit will eliminate most of the LM134's temperature coefficient, and it does a good job even if the
estimates of the diode's characteristics are not accurate (as the following example will show). For lowest tempco
with a specific diode at the desired ISET, however, the circuit should be built and tested over temperature. If the
measured tempco of ISET is positive, R2should be reduced. If the resulting tempco is negative, R2should be
increased. The recommended diode for use in this circuit is the 1N457 because its tempco is centered at 11
times the tempco of the LM134, allowing R2= 10 R1. You can also use this circuit to create a current source with
non-zero tempcos by setting the tempco component of the tempco equation to the desired value instead of 0.
EXAMPLE: A 1mA, Zero-Tempco Current Source
First, solve for R1and R2:
(9)
The values of R1and R2can be changed to standard 1% resistor values (R1= 133Ωand R2= 1.33kΩ) with less
than a 0.75% error.
If the forward voltage drop of the diode was 0.65V instead of the estimate of 0.6V (an error of 8%), the actual set
current will be
(10)
an error of less than 5%.
If the estimate for the tempco of the diode's forward voltage drop was off, the tempco cancellation is still
reasonably effective. Assume the tempco of the diode is 2.6mV/°C instead of 2.5mV/°C (an error of 4%). The
tempco of the circuit is now:
(11)
A 1mA LM134 current source with no temperature compensation would have a set resistor of 68Ωand a
resulting tempco of
(12)
So even if the diode's tempco varies as much as ±4% from its estimated value, the circuit still eliminates 98% of
the LM134's inherent tempco.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
