With new LED lights, one of the most difficult, demanding, and costly sections of a design is thermal management. Without sufficient thermal management, the results can be catastrophic, ranging from ...

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) deliver emitted light in response to current being made to flow through them, but then you already knew that, right?? If we define that the light output of an LED is ...

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 ...

Usually, an MCU is considered a digital device. By default, its output voltage level can be either high or low and nothing in between. With the requirement to create an LED brightness control, the ...

Infineon has added to its LITIX LED controller portfolio with the dual-channel, stand-alone DC-DC controller TLD6098-2ES. It can also operate the four standard LED front light functions: High Beam (HB ...

An LED lighting driver chip with in-built 0-10V dimming designed by iWatt does not require a microprocessor to control the dimming function. “We believe this is the first product from anyone with ...

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 ...

Three electric “plug-and-light” LED light towers—HiLight P2+, V2+, and V3+—can be powered directly from an auxiliary power source, a portable generator, or the grid. The towers are designed for energy ...

This module introduces Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques for Python on the Raspberry Pi. Subsequently, by using PWM we can modify the brightness of an LED without having to change a resistor.
