LED DRIVER CIRCUIT Light Emitting Diode is a special kind of diode that emits energy in the visible band of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, it conducts in forward bias the same as the p-n junction diode. It is used as an optoelectronic device. Now let me ask you a simple question. At our home we get 230 volts AC supply, can we give this directly to an LED? The answer should be Of course not. This is because an LED needs a constant current input. Thus to serve this purpose, we need a driver circuit. what is OPTOELECTRONICS ? It is a branch of Technology which deals with the combined use of Electronics and Light DESIGN OF LED DRIVER CIRCUIT To the main supply, an AC capacitor is connected in a line with the mains supply. Then, a resistor of 390k ohm is connected in parallel with this capacitor. This is to discharge the capacitor in the absence of supply. One more resistor of 10Ω is connected between the mains supply and the rectifier which can be called fuse...
