Abstract

See full text

A circuit for regulating and monitoring a signal current, comprising a regulating circuit; and a monitoring circuit. The regulating circuit comprises: a first controlled voltage source for outputting a target value dependent controlled voltage; a current adjust circuit for adjusting the signal current in dependence on the controlled voltage and a first feedback voltage by means of a potentiometer; and a first feedback path, with at least one first resistance element across which the signal current flows. The voltage drop across the resistance element or one of the voltages of the current adjust circuit dependent thereon is supplied as a first feedback voltage. The monitoring circuit comprises: a second controlled voltage source for outputting a second target value dependent controlled voltage; an analog monitoring circuit for determining the deviation between the second controlled voltage and a second feedback voltage; and a second feedback path with a resistance element across which the signal current flows, wherein the voltage drop across the resistance element or a voltage of the monitoring circuit dependent thereon is supplied as a second feedback voltage.
