Re: LED array current regulation




To follow up on this - I got my order of LM317s and built a supply
using them - 12 independent 20mA supplies. The bulk voltage drops to
35.5 VDC with an 0.22 amp load (9x11 LED matrix), and a string of 9
LEDs drops 29.4 V, or 3.27 V per LED, leaving 1.25 V for the 62 ohm
resistor and 4.85 V across the LM317s. Even at 3.4 V per LED that
still leaves 3.6 V across the LM317s. I think this will do just fine
for my purposes. Thanks!
