Santa Clara, Calif. — National Semiconductor Corp. says it has introduced the industry's first common-anode, current-mode, high-brightness light-emitting diode (LED) driver with pulse-width modulation ...

The LED backlights in automotive heads-up displays, infotainment systems, and dashboard lighting must be bright enough to compete with direct sunlight streaming into a car during the day, yet capable ...

As the results show, the Spectre Pro PWM series delivered underwhelming performance. They were consistently the weakest performing and near-loudest fans in all our testing. They look good and they ...

How a single LED driver can support buck, boost, and buck-boost topologies. Design details for each topology type. How such drivers work in automotive and machine-vision designs. The breadth of LED ...

Macetech’s ShiftBrite is a high-power RGB LED coupled with an Allegro A6281 backpack. The A6281 uses three 10bit pulse-width modulators to mix millions of colors using the red, green, and blue ...

LED-driver circuits can be dimmed by applying a variable duty cycle (pulse-width modulation, or PWM) to the LED. PWM exploits LED behavior: At higher current levels, the LED’s light output is higher ...

Instructables user [Simon] admits he addicted to electronics. Lucky for him, his wife of 15 years is pretty cool with, or at least tolerant of his need to fiddle with anything that plugs in. As a gift ...

Rohm has introduced a linear LED driver for automotive use, following close on the heels of its LED driver for motorcycles. BD18336NUF-M is a 3 x 3 x 1mm constant current driver IC that can deliver ...

Sunpower’s DAP-04 DALI to PWM converter is designed to provide DALI control in LED lighting applications. The DAP-04 has a DALI input that can accept data from a remote IEC62386-101, 102 or 207 ...

Linear Technology has unveiled a new pulse width modulation (pwm) generator with 48 independent channels. According to the IC specialist, each channel has an individually adjustable 12bit (4,096 steps ...
