Santa Clara, Calif. — National Semiconductor Corp. has designed a Boomer light emitting diode (LED) driver that provides audio synchronization without real-time software processing. The LM4970 LED ...

A white LED delivers a wide color spectrum and better visibility than do monochromatic LEDs. However, a white LED presents a higher forward-voltage drop than do its colorful counterparts and thus ...

Light-emitting diodes have become the lighting source of choice for almost all illumination applications. Incandescents, fluorescents, CFLs, and other types are fading away in favor of the almighty ...

Supertex, Inc. has introduced the HV9910, which it describes as the industry's first universal, high brightness (HB) LED driver IC. The HV9910 is a highly flexible and simple LED driver IC that ...

This idea describes a white- LED (WLED) driver circuit controlled by a simple ambient light sensor (ALS). A typical application would be a brightness control for cell-phone backlighting. On a very ...

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are low-voltage light sources that require a constant DC voltage or current to operate optimally. Because they operate on a low-voltage DC power supply, they easily adapt ...

Research in LED drivers and power converters continues to drive advances in efficient energy management and precision control for modern lighting applications. These systems are crucial to optimising ...
