consequently no current-limiting resistor is required in the gate input MOSFETs, unlike PN junction devices (such as LEDs) can be paralleled because resistance increases with temperature, although the quality of this load balance is largely dependent on the internal chemistry of each individual MOSFET in the circuit
Active constant current is typically regulated using a depletion-mode MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor), which is the simplest current limiter. [2] Low drop-out (LDO) constant current regulators also allow the total LED voltage to be a higher fraction of the power supply voltage.
It is known as a current-limiting diode (CLD) or current-regulating diode (CRD). Internal structure. It consists of an n-channel JFET with the gate shorted to the source, which functions like a two-terminal current limiter (analogous to a voltage-limiting Zener diode). It allows a current through it to rise to a certain value, but not higher.

IRLZ24N Power MOSFET in a TO-220AB through-hole package. Pins from left to right are: gate (logic-level), drain, source. The top metal tab is the drain, same as pin 2. [1]A power MOSFET is a specific type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) designed to handle significant power levels.
The basic current mirror can also be implemented using MOSFET transistors, as shown in Figure 2. Transistor M 1 is operating in the saturation or active mode, and so is M 2. In this setup, the output current I OUT is directly related to I REF, as discussed next.
Current limiting is the practice of imposing a limit on the current that may be delivered to a load to protect the circuit generating or transmitting the current from harmful effects due to a short-circuit or overload. The term "current limiting" is also used to define a type of overcurrent protective device.
LED: There is a built-in LED driven by digital pin 13.When the pin is high value, the LED is on, when the pin is low, it is off. VIN: The input voltage to the Arduino/Genuino board when it is using an external power source (as opposed to 5 volts from the USB connection or other regulated power source).
