Part 2: A 60V buck-boost controller drives high power LEDs, charges batteries and regulates voltage with up to 98.5% efficiency at 100W and higher. Part 3: Offline LED lighting simplified: A high ...

Inspired by printed circuit boards, the building block of all electronics, a Dutch designer has created an LED-based light installation that draws upon the familiar etching pattern inside most devices ...

This article is excerpted from Section 21 of “Analog Circuit Design: Volume 3 – The Design Note Collection,” (ISBN: 978-0-12-800001-4), edited by Bob Dobkin and John Hamburger of Linear Technology ...

As their production costs fall, LEDs are being used more often in applications ranging from handheld devices to automotive and architectural lighting. Their high reliability (operational lifetimes of ...

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

LED replacement bulbs include integrated driver electronics employing a variety of circuit topologies. But LED light fixtures frequently require standalone LED power supplies, sometimes called modules ...

Time will always be“of the essence” for professional engineers and amateur enthusiasts alike. This can certainly be said about the process of designing circuits involving Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

The process of circuit design can cover systems ranging from national power grids all the way down to the individual transistors within an integrated circuit. For simple circuits the design process ...
