Sponsored by Texas Instruments: The LED is the dominant lighting solution today, but the processes involved in driving and dimming them are more sophisticated than you perhaps thought. Light-emitting ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electrical current passes through ...

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 ...

Mick Jagger famously said that you cain’t always get what you want. But this is Hackaday, and we make what we want or can’t get. Case in point: [Andrew Tudoroi] is drawn to retro LEDs and wanted one ...

Diode Inc.’s 18-/12-channel linear LED drivers deliver precise digital color mixing and brightness control for vivid lighting ...

This is a simple 230 V LED Driver circuit which is accomplished using a capacitor based power supply. This is a low cost and efficient circuit and can be used at homes. Here we design a simple circuit ...

The LED backlights in automotive heads-up displays, infotainment systems, and dashboard lighting must be bright enough to compete with direct sunlight streaming into a car during the day, yet capable ...

[Peter] needed to drive a high power LED for his microscope. Rather than pick up a commercial LED driver, he built a simple constant current LED driver and fan control. We’ve featured [Peter’s] ...
