Hi All,
What exactly is the issue with 445nm diodes and common test loads using the 1N4001, (I think that's the number), diodes?
I know we're trying to put a lot of current through them but I'm curious that, when using a microboost, it's suggested to just use the Red setting instead of the Bluray one. Do I get the same current being supplied to my 445 diode if I set my driver to, say 800mA using the Red setting? If this is the case, can I just use the Red setting when using an 8x Bluray? If not why not and how far out will the actual current output be?
I don't fully understand buck/boost, or just boost, circuits so don't understand how they up convert, (except that it's to do with back EMF spikes from inductors etc), and what correlation output voltage has to output current, for a fixed input voltage and input current. Is it a simple power in = power out conversion?
Any enlightment welcome.
Thanks,
M
