Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...

LEDs offers a combination of flexibility and efficiency unmatched by conventional forms of lighting, and are being adopted in architectural- and stage-lighting applications because they emit highly ...

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 ...

This article introduces a DALI 2.0 slave software stack for XMC 1000 microcontrollers. This stack was developed by Infineon in close cooperation with Xenerqi and accelerates design of LED lighting ...

[mircemk] built a slick-looking LED tester with a couple handy functions built in. Not only can one select a target current to put through an LED, but by providing a target voltage, the system will ...

Figure 3 showed the ideal waveform for the LED current, which does not take the response time (t r) of the comparator into account. The t r of a comparator is the time it takes the output to change ...
