Hi guys,
I'm trying to design circuits that include mostly ohmic devices with the exception of some LEDs. In particular, I'm having trouble coming up with an effective voltage drop across an LED. This is the datasheet for the particular LED that I'm trying to include in the circuit. It has a maximum power dissipation and a forward voltage range given a minimum supply current of 20mA.
I'm just not sure how to read a datasheet for a diode.
