Abstract

This article describes a design of Digital Control of DC current source based on AVR microcontroller. The system uses the Atmega8 as the main chip and consists of keyboard input, LCD display, I / V conversion, power amplification and other modules. It uses a negative feedback closed-loop control. The MCU can compare real-time the preset value with the measuring results, and adjust the settings, in order to advance the output precision of the current. The design can achieve the functions of different measurement ranges, adjustable output current, exact step and very small current waviness. It also can display the output preset value and the measuring results by LED at the same.
