A logic level N-channel high power MOSFET is used to create this RGB LED driver that would allow LED arrays or lamps of up to 5A per channel to be controlled without heatsink installed. A PIC16F863 is ...

The MAX16840 is an LED driver that employs a proprietary architecture to ensure flicker-free, dimmable operation with electronic transformers and cut-angle dimmers. Maxim’s patent-pending approach ...

In many consumer applications for lighting the cost of existing technology – namely incandescent light bulbs or fluorescent tubes – is so low that LED lighting’s many advantages simply cannot make up ...

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 ...

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (ICD), Inc., has announced the availability of the FDA217, an optically isolated, dual photovoltaic MOSFET driver. Each independent driver consists of an LED that is ...

Light-emitting diodes have become the lighting source of choice for almost all illumination applications. Incandescents, fluorescents, CFLs, and other types are fading away in favor of the almighty ...
