1. A method for driving a light emitting diode coupled to an output of a current mirror, comprising steps of:
providing a control terminal voltage of said current mirror as a reference voltage;
increasing a voltage of an input of said current mirror and providing an input of said light emitting diode as a voltage feedback
point for keeping a constant voltage difference between said input and said output of said current mirror; and
driving said light emitting diode by a voltage at said output of said current mirror.
