    PWM from a microcontroller would not have nearly enough current for this application, which is why I need to drive those LEDs through a transistor of some kind. I am going to use PWM to drive the transistor, however. An ATTINY85 to be exact.

    ... so ... looking at the datasheet for that transistor ... am I reading this right? Would this not fully saturate long before it hits 3.3 Volts?

    But where's the transistorized portion, that's a huge part of the circuit missing!

    Do also keep in mind that BJTs have a saturation voltage that may drop the voltage below 3.2 volts, and you may need to use MOSFETs with op amps, possibly with charge pumps, to get the gate drive high enough to fully turn on.

    This is a screenshot from a website where I put in the parameters and this is what it kicked out. I was presuming that I would build the circuit like this ... I just need to drive it...

    No transistor likes being part on (linear mode), they all get hot whether BJT or FET.
    All depends on how the heat can and is being dissipated.

    If you want (nearly) linear voltage (or current) to current translation, you have to use a BJT. MOSFETs are not linear to Vgs and... (broken record...) YOU NEED NEGATIVE FEEDBACK to get a linear response using a MOSFET. You can see people *do* use MOSFETs for audio amplifier final stages, and you do see they have negative feedback in order to get this to work.

    well fets need variable voltage, and transistors need variable current.
    most fets dont like being part-on(linear mode) and get hot.

    you dont say your led drive voltage, but i think you need to use darlington transistors.

    How could I find a FET with specific specs?

    I need a FET or a transistor ... don't care really, I'm going to use it to source current to three LEDs at three different levels of brightness (meaning I'm going to drive the transistor at three different voltage levels). It needs to be able to handle 850 milliamps and be fully saturated at around 3.3 volts ...

    Is there a way to search for a FET or a transistor based on parameters like this?

    Thank you,

    Mike

    Good night,
    I am going to ask your help to find out what is the reference of this smd transistor. Or what is an equivalent transistor?

    Thank you for your help....

    Where to find a very small fpc connector 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
    by corrize
    Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
    It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
    I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
    I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?


    Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?

    Where can I find a DD3 128000 type memory but 32 MGB in one module because this laptop has only one slot
    by sam_sam_sam
    This Dell computer is a pain in the a** because of it only has one memory slot this computer only had 4 megabytes of memory and slower than shit I found a 8 megabyte memory module and it is better but still slow as shit the maximum is 32 megabytes of RAM but I was not able to find one I found some that are 16 megabytes but they are 1600/128000 type and I am not sure if this computer will work with this type of memory or not

    Dose anyone knows where I can find a 32 megabytes memory module for this computer because the battery still works fairly well still I would like to use it on my...

    Behringer Eurolive B205D repair - help identifying transistor
    by magneh
    Hello
    Got this speaker from a friend , defective. Power led comes on and off , in a loop.
    Disassembled, got the board out, and after a bit of measuring I found a low resistance on a 5v6 line. With a bit of current I found a transistor heating up on that line (labeled T1 and 113 as on pic).
    After removing this guy, I got a value of 0.7 in diode mode on that 5v6 line, which before had 0.02 or something like that.

    I tested powering it up without the IC, and the speaker turns on and stays on, and works fine

    Still, I need to replace this transistor....
