Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...

In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...

I have spent at least an hour almost every day since the 80’s advancing my knowledge in electronics. Recently I brushed up my knowledge on LED fading secrets and attained something pleasant. Now, I’d ...

Usually, an MCU is considered a digital device. By default, its output voltage level can be either high or low and nothing in between. With the requirement to create an LED brightness control, the ...

[Dave] needed some extra light above his desk/workbench area and decided to wire up some RGB LED light strips to brighten the place up a bit. He wasn’t content with using a standard switch to toggle ...

The AT9919 is a hysteric, buck, and high brightness LED driver with high-side current sensing. It is basically a PWM controller which uses buck topology to drive LEDs. It operates from an input ...

Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...

ams has introduced a power management IC for LED-based lamps and luminaires which uses closed-loop sensing to maintain more accurate correlated colour temperature (CCT) and lumen output. Following the ...
