How to Drive LEDs - Easy Constant Current Circuit

Kevin Darrah

Why people recommend it

Shared as a practical explanation of driving LEDs at constant current with a shunt regulator and a transistor instead of a resistor per LED.

Watch for: Handy for parallel LED strings

In their words

Accordingly, for sourcing current to the rows, I could add a circuit to each of the 595's outputs, consisting of an NPN transistor and a shunt regulator (TLV431) as explained in this video.
