I know very little about electronics, but if you give me a schematic and a pile of parts, I can more-or-less assemble them correctly.<br><br>I am trying to build a simple circuit to simulate the ...

LEDs combine design flexibility with practical, robust circuitry, enabling automotive designers to produce striking headlight designs matched by exceptionally long life and performance. Automobile ...

Frank Hertel’s project: three individually dimmable LED lights. (Frank is the master of recycling; the wooden mounting pedestals are the panels from a decommissioned ATI console!) Thanks for your ...

How a single LED driver can support buck, boost, and buck-boost topologies. Design details for each topology type. How such drivers work in automotive and machine-vision designs. The breadth of LED ...

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 ...

LEDs are more efficient than incandescent lights and can last 100 times longer, but they require specialized electronic-drive circuits to avoid overstress conditions. The main operating parameter is ...

You’ve probably heard of light-emitting diodes, a type of energy-efficient light. While they’re good for practical reasons—say, illuminating a room or a passageway—they can also add a little bling to ...
