hi friends,

Do you have an idea or circuit for "AC square wave constant current generator" with short circuit protection ?
The spec:
1. The square wave output is 24v 200mA.
2. Max load's resistance is 800 ohm
3. When the load's resistance is changed,the voltage will drop to a value but the current always keep 200mA.
I have no idea how to keep 200mA.

Maybe using a feedback controller. But even in this case can't regulate voltage AND current. Should be quite good for current only regulation.

Put it in, take it out.

1. Do you really mean AC where the current reverses every half cycle or do you simply mean pulsed DC operation?

2. What frequency, low, audio, RF?

Constant current implies short circuit protection.

The square wave output is 24v 200mA.

You mean the maximum voltage compliance should be 24 volts, right? You're not suggesting the circuit should maintain 24 volts and 200 mA while the load resistance varies, are you?

Additionally

24 V on 800 ohm get 30 mA so you have to check your specification.
For 800 ohm load you need at least a generator with 160 V.

For a simple on/off a switched constant current generator can do the job (the frequency can be the problem if too high).

Why do you think I was asking him, numb nuts?

I'm sorry for the delay.

1. The current reverses every half cycle.
2. The frequency is 70 Hz

Yes.
 
The goal:
 I must get the every fluctuating resistance value.
 The part of data(ohm),
 ..., 10, 10.7, 15.2, 89, 90.1, 90.4, 125.2, 224, 224.2, 201,...

Could you explain "the simple on/off switches"?

FriskyFerret , your questions was OK, I just say there are additional points, still unsolved (800 ohm = 160 V).

The switch idea is quite simple, take a constant current generator and by a mosfet switch on and off the input line. Since you need to reverse the current direction this solution get more complicated and no more attractive.

P.S.
A simper constant current generator can be built by a LM317 (positive) or LM337 (negative).
Line input on input pin, connect the out to the adj with a resistance Res = 1.25 / I , take the current from the adj pin. The max power dissipated by the regulator is  = Vin * Iout – Res * Iout.
