Hello all. Thanks for taking up your time to read my post.
I checked the currents that passed through several LEDs for MIC2287CBD5 as the datasheet of http://www.kynix.com/uploadfiles/pdf2286/MIC2287CBD5.pdf at a particular voltage. They varied from 12.0 to 15.1 mA at 3.0 V. I then connected them all in parallel and the current running through them was about 22 mA. How can this be? I thought it would be the sum of the currents that passed through the LEDs connected individually. All the LEDs should have the same voltage across them so they should all be passing the same current they passed when tested individually ??
Can anyone help me ? I am very puzzled about this question. I do need your help.
Thanks a lot.
