R2 + 3 将求得的 Va输入到运算放大器 U的正端, 由于运算放大器 U的负端与第 一 MOS晶体管 Q1的源极连接, 则运算放大器 U的正端与运算放大器 U的负 端的电压相等, 因此第一电阻器 R1两端的电压为 Va, 即 LED串 13中的电流 ILED=Va/Rl o 由于第一 MOS晶体管 Q1存在一定的阻抗, 在第一 MOS晶体管 Q1的漏极会存在一个电压 Vm, Vm满足式子Vm = IL·ED X (Rl + RQ1), 其中, RQ1 为第一 MOS晶体管 Q1的阻抗。 则第一 MOS晶体管 Q1消耗的功率为 PQ1, ?(21满足式子?(31 = 1^ 11^ = 1^^ (1 1 + 1 (31), 从中可以看出, ILED的值越大, 第 一 MOS晶体管 Q1消耗的功率 PQ1也越大。 在本实施例中, 可通过调节参考电压 Vref的大小, 来调节输入电压 Va的 大小, 进而调节 LED串 13中的电流 ILED的大小。 例如, 可通过减小参考电压 Vref, 使得输入电压 Va减小, 进而使得 LED串 13中的电流 ILED减小, 由公式
