Hi
The following is an excert from a IR-LED datasheet.
**broken link removed**
Could you please tell me which of these voltages I use as the "Diode Forward Voltage" when calculating required resitance.
I'm using to calculate, I already know my "Source Voltage" and "Forward Current", but I'm confused in which of these 4 voltages to use as the DFV?
My setup is a simple curcuit:
| -Battery+ > Switch > Resitistor > IR-LED |
