Hi people
I've posted on this before and I've never really got it resolved.
I need to create an adjustable constant current drive that can supply between 150-300mA to drive an experimental LED. I only have a 5v supply to play with.
I think there is some confusion out there with regards the term "constant current source"
If you look at wikipedia "constant current source" and look on the discussion page you will see a heated debate going on.
What I mean is a source that will provide the same current regardless of the supply voltage and load resistance(obviously within reason). I would expect to change the value of the current by changing ratios of resistors.
I guess have two questions. Does anyone have a design that meets my spec for a constant current source and could it be modified to meet my design criteria.
I know we can do this!
