8.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure

With amplifier rails of ±15V, the output can be bound to ±11.5V with the LM4040-10 and two nominal diode voltage drops of 0.7V.

Equation 5. VOUTBound = 2 × VFWD + VZ
Equation 6. VOUTBound = 1.4V + 10V

Select RS = 15kΩ to keep IR low. Calculate IR to confirm RS selection.

Equation 7. IR = (VIN – VOUT) / R, however in this case, the negative supply must be taken into account.
Equation 8. IR = (VIN+ – VIN- – VOUT)/R = (30V – 10V) / (RS1+RS2) = 20V / 30kΩ = 0.667mA

This is an acceptable value for IR that does not draw excessive current, but prevents the part from being starved for current.
