Texas Instruments

Published Date: 05/03/2013

Description

Using a switching regulator as an LED driver requires the designer to convert a voltage regulator into acurrent regulator. Beyond the challenge of changing the feedback system to control current the LEDsthemselves present a load characteristic that is much different than the digital devices and other loads thatrequire constant voltage. The LED WEBENCH® online design environment predicts and
