In many consumer applications for lighting the cost of existing technology – namely incandescent light bulbs or fluorescent tubes – is so low that LED lighting’s many advantages simply cannot make up ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

This is the circuit diagram of bipolar LED Driver using microcontroller. Here we use an LED which has a forward voltage drop of 2.2V and hence can be biased using a 5V supply. This Bipolar LED Driver ...

A miniaturized driver manages red, green, blue, and white LEDs for maximum impact with minimal system CPU burden.

Light-emitting diodes have become the lighting source of choice for almost all illumination applications. Incandescents, fluorescents, CFLs, and other types are fading away in favor of the almighty ...

In this article, we continue our discussion on the importance of grounding when installing LED lighting equipment. Part 1 of this three-part series focuses on the ground plane of the printed circuit ...

In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...

Learn how to use a 100W LED driver with DC 12V and 24V power sources. This guide covers installation, wiring, and tips to ...

This code supports Application Note AN1138: A Digital Constant Current Power LED Driver, using the PIC12HV615? an 8-pin, PIC microcontroller (MCU) with many integrated analog features. The LED driver ...

[Peter] needed to drive a high power LED for his microscope. Rather than pick up a commercial LED driver, he built a simple constant current LED driver and fan control. We’ve featured [Peter’s] ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...
