DESCRIPTION

The CR160 series is a family of "10% range current

regulators designed for demanding applications in test

equipment and instrumentation. These devices combine a

JFET with an integrated resistor to produce a single

two-leaded device which is extremely simple to operate. With

nominal current ranges from 1.60 mA to 4.70 mA, this series

will meet a wide array of design requirements.

The TO-206AA hermetically sealed package is available with

military

processing

per

MIL-S-19500

(see

Military

Information).
