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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

An LED-driver reference design for an LED replacement of 100W incandescent bulbs has been introduced by Power Integrations, writes Richard WIlson. An LED-driver reference design for an LED replacement ...

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 ...

Light-emitting diodes have become the lighting source of choice for almost all illumination applications. Incandescents, fluorescents, CFLs, and other types are fading away in favor of the almighty ...

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 ...

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 ...
