I have an LM350T voltage regulator and I want to use it to make a Constant Current Source.
I need a constant current of 50mA. At 9 volts.
Would anyone have a circuit diagram for this?
The LM350T is very close to an LM315T regulator, so a diagram for it would probably work.
I want to use the LM350T because I have a few of them kicking around.
Thanks.
 
An LM350 is the same as an LM317 except it can have a higher output current.
A current source uses just a single resistor from the output pin to its ADJ pin.
The input voltage nust be at least 3.75V higher than its output voltage.
