LEDs for lighting are found anywhere from DIY IoT modules to commercial lighting applications and the cabins of airplanes. To run properly, these critical lighting devices require a precise balance of ...

Most LED driver circuits use a series resistor to control the current through the LED. For applications needing a few LEDs, this is optimal. However, for applications needing many LEDs, this becomes ...

Infineon has brought out a constant current linear LED driver IC which provides low-voltage drop performance for regulating LED current. It is the second device released in the new generation BCR ...

Diodes has released simple LED driving chips for regulating current in strings of LEDs, particularly in cars and other road vehicles – some of which match parts from Infineon and Nexperia (see table ...

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 ...

There are many power management methods that can be used for LED lighting. You can drive them via a number of dedicated driver ICs available on the market, or even use microcontroller units (MCUs) for ...

Normally, when a project calls for addressable LEDs, we just throw a strip of WS2812s and an Arduino together, cobble together some code from the examples in the FastLED library, and call it a day. We ...

Linear Technology has announced the LT3909, a high efficiency, constant current LED driver that can drive two strings of up to 10 LEDs at 50mA. To ensure constant brightness, each LED string contains ...

Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...
