  • I just want to ask some points:

    • Do you mean that to properly operate the LM334, we need to apply or reached the threshold voltage of the MOSFET which is around (2 and 4V)? But, i’ve tried to used it (LM334z) as a standalone and still it doesn’t work. maybe the LM334z is the problem hahaha *Regarding the resistor method, What do you think about the measured Vds, Vds=117mV (With an input current of 40uA)? i’m confused with the “how a change in Vds will affect the current” *Isn’t it Vds the parameter required for determining the dose? So if there is a constant current and resistance, how does the radiation affects the MOSFET? Will resistance or current increase upon irradiation leading to an increase in the measured Vds?

  • Hello, I have already tried to apply a microampere current (around 40 μA) using only Ohm’s law. I used a 2V input and a resistor in series. However, the LM334z is not working, and I am unsure of the reason for its failure. Will using an input voltage and a resistor in series work just fine?

    I have also measured the Vgs, which reads at around 0.117 mV. What do you think about the measured Vgs? Technically, it should be around these values, right? Considering that there is a very small current.


  • I’m using lm334z as a current source, i’m still thinking and deciding on where to connect it to the MOSFET. Can you propose the wiring for the current source input once the MOSFET is in diode connection. Like for example, in a breadboard i used a wire to connect the drain and gate. then, i’ve applied a constant current at drain terminal with source connected to the negative. So to check the change in voltage, should i measure the voltage in Gate to source?
