mosfet current sink
Hi - I'm in troble - i have to design a current sink which should load a resistor with a resistance of 0,1R.
the resistor is connected to gnd.
The current sink should be variable from 0A to 6A.
I try to design a circuit but if i test this in Pspice i get the result that this chircuit will swing.
As Variable Resistance i used a p-depletion mosfet.
in series to my unknown R_load which could be only 0,1R i have a shunt resistor.
The voltage is amplified and used as feedback for a other differential amplifier which give the difference from my controllvoltage and the feedbacksignal to the basis of a transistor which change the gate voltage level of a irf9540.
the schematic works - but in a region it oscillate.
every comment could be helpful.
Many thanks forward.
