Recently, I was working on a project that needed a couple of LEDs on its front panel for status indication. I realize many, if not most, pieces of electronic equipment now use graphic LCDs, Bluetooth ...

LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs are longer-lasting and more energy-efficient than their incandescent counterparts. But that doesn't mean they last forever. If your LED bulbs are burning out well ...

Supertex has introduced an LED lighting chip with switch dimming. The IC, dubbed HV9801A, dims LED lamp brightness to one of four preset levels through rapid toggling of a light switch. Light levels ...

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 ...

Due to the advantages like low voltages, long life, cheap, reliable, fast on-off switching etc, the LED’s are used in many applications. The various applications of LED are, All kinds of visual ...

If you’ve ever witnessed or been part of the team of AV installers assembling and mounting an LED tile display, you know it can be an arduous process. Not only does each panel need to align perfectly ...

An LED is commonly used as a "power on" indicator for many electronic devices. For the LED to produce discernible visible light in daylight, the forward-bias current needs to be in the moderate range ...

[Paul’s] project is a great example of how you can take a simple project and turn it into something more interesting. He built himself a jack-o-lantern with an Internet controlled RGB LED embedded ...

Diodes has released simple LED driving chips for regulating current in strings of LEDs, particularly in cars and other road vehicles – some of which match parts from Infineon and Nexperia (see table ...
