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 ...
A modification of the current-control circuit in a low-voltage LED system allows use of a chopped supply voltage to modulate the LED intensity. The circuit prevents inrush current to the decoupling ...
With LED lighting becoming increasingly popular due to their high luminance, long life, high efficiency and decreasing costs, the subject of controlling and driving the LED's is now a very interesting ...
Controlling LEDs is really quite simple. As you know, they need to be current limited which is as easy as applying Ohm’s law to your given set of values. To make things even more even there’s a slew ...
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 ...
Earlier this year, we presented a series of LTSpice simulations with temperature control provided by NTC thermistor SPICE models driven by a voltage: Old-School Analog Temperature Control Circuits ...
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 space-saving, constant-current buck LED driver module provides a self-contained solution for LED lighting. It is up to 96% efficient and needs no external current sensors or loop compensation ...
White LEDs (WLED) are increasingly becoming the light source of choice for backlighting applications due to their attractiveness in power efficiency and form factor. Display solutions in portable ...
H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system ...
