I want to incorporate a 10mA constant current sink into a design as a sort of dummy load to bias a larger current driver. I found the Texas Instruments REF200 but it only sinks 100uA. Then I also found the NXP PSSI2021SAY but it is unclear to me whether I can use this part as a sink despite being intended as a source. Can I simply connect the current output that I need to sink to the VCC pin of this NXP part? Is there some other simple solution I'm overlooking or a standard sink IC I'm unaware of?

Many thanks!
