How can we design an electronic circuit for TDCS with a current source for I=0-2mA?
I want to design an electronic circuit for TDCS, with the range of current that is given, I=0-2mA. how can I do it.
I'm glad if you can help me

Hello Batool Saeidi,
You have not specified what is your (Control) input to this circuit that delivers a current of 0-2mA but I would suggest you to go for some op-amp based V-to-I (Voltage to Current) converter circuits. You can try any classic book on op-amp or else let me know your exact requirements and I can send you some details of such a circuit.
Thanks with best wishes!

Hello Batool Saeidi,
as already suggested, an op-amp based circuit would be best. The key word 'transconductance amplifier' may also be of use here. You would need to find suitable DC capable versions though, but the should be available.
However, as with all electronics, it is better to design the circuitry with someone who has experience in the field, as there is loads that need to be considered for accurate circuit performance.
Hope this might help!

I agree with Prasanna Waichal, your specification is very vague. It is necessary to know the maximum output operating voltage, output impedance (ideally infinite), achievable supply voltage, ... And last but not least, surely "security" guarantees which the circuit gives .

In this paper we present a model of Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) to be used for electronic circuit design. The model, with a classical behaviour (MOSFET-like CNTFET), is based on analytical approximations and parameters extracted from quantum mechanical simulations of the device to avoid the resort to self-consistency.
