High-Frequency LED Current Source Design for Efficient Power Conservation

This project focuses on designing a LED current source with features like constant supply, calibration, and accommodation for multiple LEDs. The design includes a current mirror, pulse generator, and amplifier, utilizing fast-switching components for power conservation. Components like Op-Amp and matched transistors will be utilized for effective operation. The project aims to achieve portability with low-power consumption, suitable for battery-powered applications.

Presentation Transcript

  1. LED Current Source • Design of the circuit to provide constant current supply to the LED • Calibrate LED with reference to MIP signal value • Expand the design to accommodate multiple LEDs connected concurrently

  2. Differentiator/ Current Mirror Pulse Generator Amplifier LED Current Source One or more LEDs can be connected to the current mirror in the future

  3. LED Current Source • Pulse generator includes a fast switching logic clock (possibly a 5-5-5 timer) and logic gates • Output is a square pulse with amplitude of 2-3V (low-voltage logic for power conservation)

  4. LED Current Source • Differentiator/Amplifier will be designed using a 1Ghz fast Op-Amp • Gain factors will range from 0.1 to about 3-4 • Only positive (or negative) pulses will be used (controlled by a fast switching diode)

  5. LED Current Source • Current mirror will be designed using fast switching matched transistors • Current mirrors will be needed particularly in multi-LED design • Later on similar mirror will be used in the pre-amplifier design

  6. LED Current Source • LED will be calibrated using Hamamatsu PMT and APD, and possibly SiPM and MRS • We are looking into components • Low-power concern is due to a possibility of battery - powered operations for portability of the device (single - LED version only)

  7. LED Current Source • Tentative schedule: • Design and simulations by next Wednesday, also parts ordered by the end of the week • Prototype completed as parts become available • Calibrations being a subject to availability of the second test stand
