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 ...

In previous posts, I have introduced several do-it-yourself pwm controller circuits and reviewed several Chinese PWM controller modules. The next step in this post is to share the design of another ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Boost power converters have been widely used for Power Factor Correction (PFC) in ac-dc conversions [1] and for power ...

Modern power delivery systems with DSPs, FPGAs and CPUs run on lower supply voltages and consume higher current. In fact, sub-1 V voltages are everywhere now. Meanwhile, intermediate bus voltages have ...
