1.1. Parts List
R3–R5: 1k, 0.1% resistors – this is the load, the higher tolerance parts allows confident readings with a
standard volt meter.
TSM6025AEUR+: A 2.5V precision voltage reference. For improved tempco performance, the
TSM6025AEUR+ could be replaced with a TS6001AIG325 or TS6001BIG325.
TS1001IJ5: A 0.8V/0.65µA super low power op amp.
T1: FMMTA14TA – NPN Darlington transistor, the maximum collector cutoff current is 100 nA, most will be
lower than this.
R7: 89PR10KLF – a 20-turn trimmer, allows finer control of current vs. a single turn pot.
BK-883-TR CR2032 coin cell holder.
C2-C5: 1nF ceramic capacitors
R1: 1kto 10k resistor, for the base of the transistor
Unfortunately, our instruments do not have sufficient resolution and are plagued by a noisy environment to even be
able to fully characterize the operating conditions more accurately.
