http://www.microchip.comLEDs have been a mainstay in modern electronics for over 30 years. Their design requirements are common knowledge, and most designers don't ...

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 ...

Driving more than a handful of LEDs from a microcontroller is often a feat that takes tedious wiring, tricking the processor, or a lot of extra external hardware. Charlieplexing is perhaps the most ...

Hi there, and welcome to Part 3 of this soon-to-be-heralded mega-mini-series. In Part 1, we discussed the first vacuum tube diodes, moved on to their solid-state (semiconductor) descendants, and then ...

There are many power management methods that can be used for LED lighting. You can drive them via a number of dedicated driver ICs available on the market, or even use microcontroller units (MCUs) for ...
