Abstract
An improved current-mirror LED driver is presented in this paper. Incorporating a super-diode configuration, this circuit selects a reference current automatically to prevent transistor saturation even in a wide forward voltage spread in the LED string voltage. Using a statistical cost function evaluation based on a Monte-Carlo analysis through MATLAB/PSIM co-simulation, the performance of the proposed circuit is analyzed and compared with that of the conventional circuit using a self-configurable Darlington-pair.
