Typical Application

The AFEx3004W is configurable for use as a programmable current source using an external MOSFET for current values greater than 250µA. The force-sense outputs of the AFEx3004W are used to compensate for the gate-source voltage drop caused by temperature, drain current, and aging of the MOSFET. The GPIO pin is used to switch the output current on or off without the need for run-time software. The slew between the on and off values is programmable. Figure 8-1 shows how the AFEx3004W is used as a programmable current source. A resistor, RSET, connected to the source of the MOSFET sets the output current range. This circuit is used in optical modules that require a high current output with a small size.
