The latest constant current regulator ICs, such as those from ON Semiconductor, can accommodate supply voltages in excess of 40 V and down to 3 V, offer current outputs from 20 mA to 1.5 A, and are fully compatible with step-down (buck), step-up (boost), step-up/down (buck/boost) or SEPIC topologies.
Constant current regulation delivers HB-LED advances
According to the company, feedback voltage is used to regulate the average current through the LED string in a constant current regulator configuration and also allows the use of a smaller sense resistor.

Leadis' LDS8160 solid-state lighting driver (SSLD) is intended to optimize the LED drive current for desirable luminosity-over-temperature performance, and includes a temperature compensation engine and current regulator. The former monitors the in-situ temperature on each LED and independently optimizes the LED current for best luminosity versus temperature performance.
