Questions tagged [current-sink]

An electronic component that sinks current (current flows into it). Ideally, a current sink has infinite output impedance and sinks current independently of the voltage across it. Real implementations have high but not infinite output impedance and limited voltage ranges. See also the current-source tag.

I made this current sink to discharge a 9 V battery. Is this okay?

I would like to create charts. Voltage as a function of time. I want to do this to test models of different battery manufacturers. I want to see which battery contains the most Ah. I have done some reading: I need to discharge slowly so I don't have…

High output voltage or sink?

As I recently learned, LED driver output voltage stands for what the pin can handle after the last cathode of LED strip. However, I am interested in this chip HV5812, that is a high voltage shift register. Do I understand correctly, that the voltage…
