In some LED lighting applications, precise light intensity control is a must. For instance in shops where multiple LED lighted panels are installed one next to the other, the light intensity and light ...

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 ...

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

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 ...

You can buy small modules with capacitive touch detection ICs — most often it’s the TTP223, a single-button capacitive model with configurable output modes. These are designed to pair with a ...

In a world where building energy efficiency is increasingly prized, pursued and rewarded, it’s no surprise that it’s also becoming not only expected, but mandated. Energy-related codes and standards ...

Thanks to its novel architecture that implements an average current-mode-control scheme, an LED controller enables a more efficient lighting system that supports complex light patterns. High-power ...
