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 ...

Selecting the right type of circuit protection for a light-emitting-diode (LED) driver can be challenging because system demands vary greatly, depending on the application and power source. However, ...

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 ...

In this article, we continue our discussion on the importance of grounding when installing LED lighting equipment. Part 1 of this three-part series focuses on the ground plane of the printed circuit ...

Dimming LEDs is an important feature in many of today’s solid state lighting applications. While many implementations for dimming LEDs in the market today rely on PWM modulation of the LED driving ...

SOME MULTI-STRING LED MODULES come with a common-anode configuration. The commonanode connection reduces the number of wires between the LED module and its driver from 2N to N+1, where N is the number ...

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 ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged in recent years as ...

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful ...
