In many consumer applications for lighting the cost of existing technology – namely incandescent light bulbs or fluorescent tubes – is so low that LED lighting’s many advantages simply cannot make up ...

Since the earliest versions of indoor LED light bulbs were developed, their designers have faced a variety of technical challenges. These include AC-to-DC power conversion, thermal design/heat-sinking ...

Part 1 of this three-part series introduced the technical and engineering steps necessary to design an LED display system from individual LED lamps. Part 2 provided the remaining steps needed to ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

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 ...

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 ...

A miniaturized driver manages red, green, blue, and white LEDs for maximum impact with minimal system CPU burden.

Time will always be“of the essence” for professional engineers and amateur enthusiasts alike. This can certainly be said about the process of designing circuits involving Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

Circuit board design startup Quilter announced on Tuesday it raised $10 million, saying it would use artificial intelligence to reduce the time to design components that power electronics in rockets, ...
