Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. With the rising costs of energy and increasing governmental requirements for high efficiency lighting, the high ...
A constant current is better than a constant voltage for driving LEDs. In this proposed circuit, a common constant-voltage regulator is changed into a constant-current source for LEDs. In addition, a ...
LEDs are finding their way into more products than ever before. Automotive lighting, TV backlights and tablets are just a few applications that require multiple LEDs. Driving a large number of LEDs ...
Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green LEDs as both the stabilization elements and as the voltage indicators at the front-panel switch (b). Fig 2. The addition of resistor R4 to the ...
