Hello, newbie here. I want to drive OSRAM PLT3 520D diode with two CR123A batteries, that means around 6.5V. The diode itself in Datasheet says that operating voltage is typ. 6.1V max. 7.5V. I wanted to make constant current source with lm317, but it needs around 2v input voltage more than voltage needed to drive a load. So, if I will connect this diode straight to the battery, will it burn or work just fine?
I don't want to burn my diode, it's fairly expensive. Thanks in advance!
