This app note provides a simple circuit to drive high brightness LEDs. It requires minimum external components and it provides both linear and PWM dimming. Ideal for Osram, Lumileds, Cree, and Nichia ...

A voltage multiplier is applied as a high source impedance, 36V, 300mA, 12W LED driver. The high source impedance is ideal for driving power LEDs because it accommodates variations in LED junction ...

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 ...

Typical requirements for industrial LEDs. Designing an LED gate driver using an industrial digital input chip. Ruggedness characteristics of the new gate driver. Industrial control systems universally ...

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 ...

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful ...

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 ...

[Petteri Aimonen] created an omnidirectional LED safety light to cling to his child’s winter hat in an effort to increase visibility during the dark winter months, but the design is also great example ...
