Efficient LED Constant-Current Switching Supply - Constant-current hysteretic buck regulator supply for higher power LEDs, efficiency of >85%

Note: This article is in the process of being updated--

Resistors or linear constant-current sources are okay for small, low-current LEDs but it's desirable to use a better efficiency switching supply for higher power LEDs.
Here's is a relatively simple switching constant-current supply that uses the common LM339/393 as part of a relatively simple and reasonably high efficiency circuit.

Below is the LTspice simulation of the regulator for up to about 1A LEDs.
It's a...

Hi,
Instead of IC buffer cannot we use small P or N FET as non-inverting buffer to make it more easy and cheap?
