How do I calculate the maximum load on a center-tapped AC/AC transformer for a bi-polar linear power supply with full wave rectification?
I have a 24 VCT AC to AC step-down transformer, which has three wire leads on the secondary. I'll call the secondary leads X, Y, and C, where C is the center tap. With a DMM, the voltage between X and ...

Designing of a voltage to current converter schematic
Voltage is from a sensor (0 to 4 V), and load is within -100 nA and +100nA, where 0V should be converted to -100nA and 4V to +100nA.
Here is my last trial (picture below.)
I got the -100nA for 0V and +...
