current programmed to the AD421. R1 and R2 are external to
the AD421 and will need to be matched resistors to obtain a
highly accurate current source.
Current Source
Figure 18 shows an application circuit for the AD421 being
used as a current source. The current programmed to the
AD421 (4 mA to 20 mA) will develop a voltage across R1.
This same voltage due to negative feedback will be generated
