Hi,
I've got a 5V supply and an LED. The on current through the LED should not exceed 20mA at which point the voltage drop across the LED is 1.5V. Given an LED and 5 silicon diodes, connect the circuit such that the LED lights correctly.
So if the LEDs and all 5 diodes are connected in series, will this ensure that the current through the LED is limited to 20mA.
Many thanks,
Froskoy.
