Consumer demand and government initiatives to phase out inefficient lighting technologies are pushing expansion of LED lighting. Designers of these devices must satisfy not only end users, but also ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. LEDs are the most efficient way to turn an electric current into illumination. When a current flows through a diode in the forward ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently in practical circuits. A Joule Thief circuit is a small, energy-efficient ...

Analog circuit design optimisation is a critical field that integrates traditional electronic principles with modern computational techniques to refine circuit performance, minimise power consumption ...
