Constant Current Control; Figure 1-4 Hkp-D1W1 Forward Voltage, Forward Current, And Relative Luminous Flux - Samsung S3F84A5 Application Note

S3F84P4_AN_REV0.00 (PRELIMINARY SPEC) 1 OVERVIEW OF HPLED LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM

1.3.3 CONSTANT CURRENT CONTROL

Refer to the HKP-D1W1 datasheet to see the relationship of forward voltage, forward current, and relative
luminous flux.
Figure 1-4 HKP-D1W1 Forward Voltage, Forward Current, and Relative Luminous Flux
As shown in Figure 1-4, describing the luminous flux as a function of current is better than describing it as a
function of voltage. Even a slight change of voltage might lead to significant current shift. Therefore, constant
current control is used in HPLED applications.
