Sufficient luminance for an illuminator requires many LEDs to be connected together and a constant current supplied to each LED. Therefore, the LED drive circuit must have constant-output-current control and/or constant-luminance control. We propose an LED drive circuit that consists of a boost-type DC-DC converter with constant-output-current control and constant-luminance control. This circuit is a switching regulator-type circuit controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM). Both the power and the constant-current control can be provided by a single system, without any ballast resistor or auxiliary current control circuit., INTELEC 06 - Twenty-Eighth International Telecommunications Energy Conference : Providence, RI, USA, 2006.9.10-2006.9.10, International Telecommunications Energy Conference, pp.1-6; 2006}, pages = {1--6}, publisher = {IEEE}, title = {An LED Drive Circuit with Constant-Output-Current Control and Constant-Luminance Control}, volume = {2006}, year = {2006} }
