The advent of high-power LEDs that can replace incandescent bulbs has produced a need for circuits that efficiently match the LEDs to available power sources (batteries, car electrical systems, etc.).

If you are looking to replace halogen bulbs with LEDs, combining a rectifier bridge and a current-controlled synchronous step-up/step-down converter creates a high power factor driver circuit, writes ...

[Maximilian Güntner] dropped us a comment in last week’s globe writeup linking to his own project, which involves a similar high power LED driver mod. This looks like the exact same mod we came up ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:DLG), a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power conversion, solid state lighting (SSL) and Bluetooth (R) Smart technology, ...

Opto-electronic systems frequently require temperature stabilization for components such as laser diodes, photodiodes, prisms, and lenses. The established method for providing stabilization is to ...

In this article, I would like to talk a little bit about LEDs, including why they will become the lighting source of choice, how to power them and also, how to protect them from the hazards they face ...
