- Why use driver ICs for white LEDs?
While the simplest LED drive circuit is a voltage and a current-limiting resistor, performance can be improved with specifically designed LED ICs. LED issues are solved by using a good controller IC: - constant current LED source needs regulation
- multiple LED''s might have different forward voltage drop (causing different brightness)
- battery voltage droops lower than needed for LED
- poor regulation leads to early device failure
