AD587
PRECISION HIGH CURRENT SUPPLY
For higher currents, the AD587 can easily be connected to a
power PNP or power Darlington PNP device. The circuit in
Figure 15 can deliver up to 4 amps to the load. The 0.1
µF
capacitor is required only if the load has a significant capacitive
component. If the load is purely resistive, improved high fre-
quency supply rejection results can be obtained by removing the
capacitor.
