Hello everyone, what I'm wondering is if we need to see the I-V characteristic of the LED in the simulation while doing an LED driver simulation? While designing an LED driver, I looked at the LED datasheet and took the output current as 1.050A and the output voltage as 3.10V and I designed a dc-dc converter. In the simulation of my design, I used the equivalent LED circuit that includes a resistor(0.2ohm) and a dc source(2.6V) (or zener) in order to see the LED characteristic. The circuit I made only provides the 1.050A-3.1V point that I referenced.
When I perform the simulation in this way, do I need to obtain the current-voltage values in the LED I-V characteristic using pwm?
When I also looked at the datasheet, I saw that 100% brightness was achieved at 1.050 A. Logically, shouldn't the LED driver that I made go above 1.050A?
Finally, for the design, they suggested me to take the max voltage value in the table, namely 3.10V, the 1.050A-3.10V values I took as a reference from the table do not seem to meet the I-V characteristic anyway. When I look at the graph, the voltage value corresponding to 1.050A looks like 2.79. For the DC-DC converter design, should I have chosen the output voltage of 2.79 rather than 3.10.
