A controller IC drives high-brightness LEDs for a variety of indoor, outdoor, and automotive applications. Its LED system design is simplified by the use of an online program. Housed in a 20-pin ...

[mircemk] built a slick-looking LED tester with a couple handy functions built in. Not only can one select a target current to put through an LED, but by providing a target voltage, the system will ...

The mystery of adding LED lights to a modern BMW with CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) electrical system is easy to resolve. The “smart” CAN Bus smells a rat when you pop in an LED brake light or ...

To calculate the resistance of the series resistor required, we need to look at the current and voltage values recommended by the LED manufacturer. Suppose a manufacturer recommends a maximum voltage ...

When designing a handheld device with a colour display using white LEDs for backlighting, is it better to use parallel or series connected LEDs? Both architectures have their own advantages when you ...

Unlike filament lamps, where electrical energy must be converted into heat before light can be produced, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are able to transform electrical energy directly into light energy ...
