AUTOMOTIVE LED-Constant Current Driver
AUTOMOTIVE LED-Constant Current Driver
In theory, LED light output and drive current, and that has nothing to do with the supply voltage. Most of the low requirements of applications, if the supply voltage stable, a resistor can limit the current. It is worth noting that such a simple application circuit, LED display to some extent, from the stability characteristics. In other words, if the case temperature, LED light output reduction, but at the same time reducing its forward voltage drop, so that drive current to increase, thereby more increasing temperature under the reduced light output. Unfortunately, the changes in the scope of the power car is a great in between the 8V-18V, up to tens of volts peak voltage. In addition, the high-brightness LED drive current, and resistance will produce a lot of heat, so that thermal design complexity.
