LEDs offers a combination of flexibility and efficiency unmatched by conventional forms of lighting, and are being adopted in architectural- and stage-lighting applications because they emit highly ...

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 ...

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 ...

This article introduces a DALI 2.0 slave software stack for XMC 1000 microcontrollers. This stack was developed by Infineon in close cooperation with Xenerqi and accelerates design of LED lighting ...

Maxim Integrated Products (www.maxim-ic.com) has introduced the MAX16824/MAX16825 3-channel, high-brightness LED (HB LED) drivers with a 6.5V to 28V input-voltage range. Maxim Integrated Products has ...

Shift registers can help reduce size and bill of materials in designs that use LEDs. By providing input/output expansion, they enable the use of smaller, less expensive microcontrollers. In some cases ...
