LED technology is today preferred by everyone and we all want them to part of our home or office. But, if you haven’t brought LEDs before, then you might not know that there are plenty of different ...

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 ...

Light-emitting diodes are often used with a voltage source from a power-supply output voltage. The output voltage increases until the current through the LEDs reaches the value of the constant-current ...

Even if you are designing a microcontroller-based LED display system, often it may calls for a manual option to control brightness of the LED display unit. On the otherhand, if it is based on discrete ...

We’ve got a thing for projects that have no real practical value but instead seek to answer a simple yet fundamental question: I wonder if I can do that? This dead-bug style 555 blinky light is one of ...

AC mains operated single LED flasher circuit, built using the popular CMOS timer chip TLC555 is shown below. The whole circuit is powered directly by the grid supply of 230VAC through a capacitive ...

A new diode looks set to steal the humble LED's thunder. Dubbed a diode for light, and crafted using standard silicon chip fabrication techniques, this is a key discovery that will pave the path to ...

Need a pulse stretcher for an application like an LED flash? James Campbell does it using TI's configurable multifunction logic gate. A recent design project required ...

The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips – circuits that carry out a range of calculations using photons, ...

Teardowns of cheap electronic devices can produce results that are interesting, horrifying, or both, especially when mains power is involved. [bigclivedotcom] gave a minimalist LED lamp his reverse ...
