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 ...

Selecting the right type of circuit protection for a light-emitting-diode (LED) driver can be challenging because system demands vary greatly, depending on the application and power source. However, ...

Controlling LEDs is really quite simple. As you know, they need to be current limited which is as easy as applying Ohm’s law to your given set of values. To make things even more even there’s a slew ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. announced the availability of SSL5015TE/1Y (771-SSL5015TE/1Y) LED Driver integrated circuits featuring highly integrated switch mode LED driver and an integrated circuit ...

1. A Cree XM-L RGBW high-power LED can be driven by two LT3964 LED drivers for accurate 1:8192 per channel dimming. 2. Typical driver architectures offer 8-bit color resolution. Implementing a driver ...

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 ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces a new 36-channel automotive-compliant* linear LED current driver. The AL5887Q, with its ability to drive RGB ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...
