what can i do with a current source from 5ua to 270ua if i want some sort of active digital components
How Can I Actively Control Current to Diodes Without Voltage Bias?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the challenge of actively controlling current to diodes without relying on voltage bias, specifically within a range of 5µA to 270µA. The current source in question is a fixed-output system that provides a specific current without voltage adjustment. Participants emphasize the need for a more effective method than the existing thermistor-based network, which is deemed inadequate for temperature compensation in diode applications. Solutions involving integrated circuit (IC) design and active control mechanisms are suggested as potential improvements.
