Santa Clara, Calif. — National Semiconductor Corp. says it has introduced the industry's first common-anode, current-mode, high-brightness light-emitting diode (LED) driver with pulse-width modulation ...

The LED backlights in automotive heads-up displays, infotainment systems, and dashboard lighting must be bright enough to compete with direct sunlight streaming into a car during the day, yet capable ...

Macetech’s ShiftBrite is a high-power RGB LED coupled with an Allegro A6281 backpack. The A6281 uses three 10bit pulse-width modulators to mix millions of colors using the red, green, and blue ...

LED-driver circuits can be dimmed by applying a variable duty cycle (pulse-width modulation, or PWM) to the LED. PWM exploits LED behavior: At higher current levels, the LED’s light output is higher ...

Rohm has introduced a linear LED driver for automotive use, following close on the heels of its LED driver for motorcycles. BD18336NUF-M is a 3 x 3 x 1mm constant current driver IC that can deliver ...

Linear Technology has unveiled a new pulse width modulation (pwm) generator with 48 independent channels. According to the IC specialist, each channel has an individually adjustable 12bit (4,096 steps ...

A Mirror surrounded by a string of brightly lit lamps is something you usually get to see in a Movie Star’s dressing room. [pickandplace] was inspired by the Movies, and a dark bathroom, to come up ...

The rear light is of utmost importance for road safety. However, since the space required on the electrical module is limited, several functions must be implemented using just one circuit, for example ...

As the results show, the Spectre Pro PWM series delivered underwhelming performance. They were consistently the weakest performing and near-loudest fans in all our testing. They look good and they ...

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LT3761, a dc/dc controller designed to operate as a constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator. It also features a programmable internal PWM dimming ...
