TPS2553 Current limiting for RGB LEDs
I'm building a keyboard which will use SK6803 mini-e LEDs (ws2812 driver). I'm using a Pi Pico and as such the USB limit for current draw is ~500mA. I'm looking to limit the current draw from the LEDs ...

Efficient and cost-effective way to limit current across an LED strip
I am currently attempting to build a DIY driver board to power the backlight of an LM270WQ1 panel.
Per the datasheet, there are six LED strips, each of which take 36V @ 350mA.
The adapter board that ...

Why is my BJT current control circuit not controlling current?
I have built this circuit (except the Re I bought came out to Re = 0.21 ohms after measuring it, so I used Rin = 680 ohms and R1 = 18k) to control current through eight of these LEDs using this BJT.
...

LED strip light power
I am looking at using small lengths of single colour 12v LED strip (2835) in a project, maybe just 1 or two sections i.e. 3 or 6 LED's. I have tried single 2 pin LED's and they aren't bright enough.
...

How can I figure out what the forward current and forward voltage will be for an LED given a resistor size
We're trying to order some boards from our PCBA manufacturer but they're having trouble sourcing our original LEDs (QBLP601-IW). They proposed an alternative LED (LSM0603443V) and I'm trying to be ...
