This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

We know that LED is a two terminal semiconductor device. It is used in most of the electronic circuits as a sign or visual representation to the normal human to know that circuit is working properly.

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 ...

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 ...

Nearly all lighting applications today use LEDs. In a relatively short amount of time, they have become established as the preferred choice of illumination. However, in most applications, an LED can’t ...

This is a very simple but useful project, strobe navigation lights for rc airplanes, or you can adjust the flashing time and make it a warning light for a forklift or even a turn signal light for a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. LEDs are the most efficient way to turn an electric current into illumination. When a current flows through a diode in the forward ...

The occasion for this project was retrofitting an illuminated wall picture with LED backlighting. As soon as I applied LED power, the brightness blinded me — much brighter than the original T20 ...

The call for improved energy efficiency and government/energy code requirements continues to drive the need for greater use of lighting control. Effectively, flexible lighting control delivers the ...
