White LEDs used in backlighting provide illumination for the pixels in liquid crystal displays. The LEDs are typically routed on one or two sides of the displays light diffuser, and biased with 20 mA ...

Parallel LED drivers can be used to create the fast, square, high-current waveforms required for automated image processing. And it’s possible to extend such waveforms to higher currents by connecting ...

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 ...

Several driver options are at the fingertips of designers with the FAN56XX family of LED drivers from Fairchild Semiconductor. For instance, driver-only parallel connection drivers with no boost ...

144 LEDs total. Three sets of 48 in series connected in parallel. My problem is I don't know what value to use for R1. I'm thinking 600 ohm, but I really don't know how to calculate this. I'm making ...

Over the years as I've built new PCs I've kept the motherboards from the replaced machines and hung them on the wall. A little bit of geeky artwork. I've decided to dress them up a bit and put them in ...

Light-fingered printing technique could point the way forward for LEDs A team of researchers in the US has developed a new technique to shrink the size of inorganic LEDs so they can be used as pixels ...
