Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

Selecting the right type of circuit protection for a light-emitting-diode (LED) driver can be challenging because system demands vary greatly, depending on the application and power source. However, ...

Microcontrollers are a great way to learn about developing for embedded systems. However, once you outgrow their capabilities, FPGAs bring muscle that’s hard for even the fastest-clocked micros to ...

There are many applications for LED lighting, from simple incandescent or CCFL lamp replacement to new opportunities in architectural, industrial, medical, and other applications. Each of these ...

A miniaturized driver manages red, green, blue, and white LEDs for maximum impact with minimal system CPU burden.

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 ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...
