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 ...

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 ...

This slideshow is based on the LEDs Design Ideas Collection, a collection of LED-related reader submitted circuits and design applications that have appeared in EDN's 'Design Ideas' section. Here you ...

Developed to control open defects in LEDs, the company’s anti-fuse device prevents the lowering of power supply voltage, typically observed in Zener diodes, which results in higher energy efficiency.

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 ...

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 ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Circuit board design startup Quilter announced on Tuesday it raised $10 million, saying it would use artificial intelligence to reduce the time to design components ...

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).

A hybrid conductive material which can be bent and stretched has been developed by a team of researchers in China. Circuits made with this part elastic polymer, part liquid metal hybrid – known as a ...
