Santa Clara, Calif. — National Semiconductor Corp. has designed a Boomer light emitting diode (LED) driver that provides audio synchronization without real-time software processing. The LM4970 LED ...

A white LED delivers a wide color spectrum and better visibility than do monochromatic LEDs. However, a white LED presents a higher forward-voltage drop than do its colorful counterparts and thus ...

This idea describes a white- LED (WLED) driver circuit controlled by a simple ambient light sensor (ALS). A typical application would be a brightness control for cell-phone backlighting. On a very ...

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 ...

Supertex, Inc. has introduced the HV9910, which it describes as the industry's first universal, high brightness (HB) LED driver IC. The HV9910 is a highly flexible and simple LED driver IC that ...

Research in LED drivers and power converters continues to drive advances in efficient energy management and precision control for modern lighting applications. These systems are crucial to optimising ...

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 ...

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 ...
