Hi there, and welcome to Part 3 of this soon-to-be-heralded mega-mini-series. In Part 1, we discussed the first vacuum tube diodes, moved on to their solid-state (semiconductor) descendants, and then ...

The LM3914 LED bar graph driver was an amazing chip back in the day. Along with the LM3915, its logarithmic cousin, these chips gave a modern look to projects, allowing dancing LEDs to stand in for a ...

There are many power management methods that can be used for LED lighting. You can drive them via a number of dedicated driver ICs available on the market, or even use microcontroller units (MCUs) for ...

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 ...
