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, ...

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 ...

Our new part of the day is the ColorLight 5A-75B, a board that’s meant to drive eight of those ubiquitous high-density color LED panels over gigabit Ethernet. If you were building a commercial LED ...

The typical low-voltage (24 V) lighting system uses a two-wire cable to connect the lamps to the off-line power supply, often located at some distance from the lamps. These systems can control lamp ...

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 ...

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 ...
