A D V E R T I S E M E N T
A 100 mA, two terminal regulator is shown in this figure. The circuit has low temperature coefficient and operates down to 3V. Once again, the reverse base current of the LM195 to bias the operating circuitry. A 2N2222 is used to control the voltage across a current sensing resistor, R2 and diode D1, and therefore the current through it. The voltage across the sense network is the Vbe of the 2N2222 plus 1.2V from the LM113. In the sense network R2 sets the current while D1 compensates for the Vbe of the transistor. Resistor R1 sets the current through the LM113 to 0.6 mA.
