JKL Components' tiny LD-300A and LD-600A LED drivers can operate up to six 1-W LEDs for LCD backlighting, display/sign lighting, and other applications. Offering excellent efficiency with a small ...

In Part 1 of this three-part series, we discussed the importance of a well-engineered PCB ground plane for LED drivers, so the ground plane can be effective in managing disturbance energy generated ...

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 ...

The adoption of LEDs continues to expand across a variety of sectors, including automotive, agricultural, industrial, commercial, and outdoor lighting. The biggest growth drivers are their lower power ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

The quest for energy efficiency has led manufacturers to investigate ways of dimming all kinds of lighting technologies, including those that usually can’t be dimmed. Consider, for example, ...

Lighting plays a dual role in vehicle design. The first is for safety with improved illumination and an extended range to protect people and objects on the road, and the second is for more ...
