Can you help me to build a current source with minimum power loss
forward voltage of my sample leds is 3.2 - 3.6V @ 80mA. My power suppl
is 12.8 - 13.2VDC. it is not a good way to drive leds through a voltag
source because brightness then depends on your supply voltage. Below i
the circuit i think to use. but the problem is the power lost i
regulator and resistor as heating.
R L1 L2 L3
o------|LM317|--/\/\/\/\--------|---|---|----
|_______________| |
13VDC |
