I've only just begun to look at the arrangement. You have 14 BJTs in
order to provide a constant current into an LED!?? Can you explain a
little more about why?

Jon

I ditto this reponse.

If you are trying to provide 250mA into an LED as a constant current
(which seems awfully high), it can be done with only a single
transistor and a few other parts.

Apart from that, the part you specify (QTLP690C) is listed as obsolete

Please tell us the application requirements :)
