Big Current Source

>from the Yahoo Forum >looking for a 1A controlled current source A current source can be built with a DAC and a resistor divider in your case to get a 0 to 0.1 V reference, an op amp for feedback with a big MOSFET with a low resistance and small current sense resistor (remember it's dissipating a l...
