+### Howland Current Sources {#howland-current-sources}
+
+See Section 4.2.5 in <&horowitz15_art_of_elect_third_edition>.
+
+Howland current source is shown in Figure <fig:art_electronics_current_source>.
+
+> The output current is sourced through a sense resistor \\(R\_s\\) whose value you can choose independently of the matched resistor array (with resistor pairs \\(R\_1\\) and \\(R\_2\\)).
+> The best way to understand this circuit is to think of \\(IC\_1\\) as a difference amplifier whose output sense and reference connections sample the drop across \\(R\_s\\) (i.e., the current); the latter is buffered by follower IC2 so there is no current error.
