LEDs combine design flexibility with practical, robust circuitry, enabling automotive designers to produce striking headlight designs matched by exceptionally long life and performance. Automobile ...

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 ...

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--indie Semiconductor (Nasdaq: INDI), an Autotech solutions innovator, has announced its first system-on-chip (SoC) for external automotive lighting. The new ...

Omron Electronic Components has launched a LED matrix control IC that supports a smooth fade-in and fade-out of LED brightness, so that the transition is undetectable to the human eye at any point.

EE and firmware developer [Enrico] had played with LEDs as a kid, burning out his fair share of them by applying too much current. With the benefit of his firmware chops, he set about creating a board ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

The latest device crafted by the prolific maker going by mitxela comprises an LED matrix board, “a bunch of electronics” underneath it, an infrared sensor, a coin battery, and the motor from a CD ...

Frank Hertel’s project: three individually dimmable LED lights. (Frank is the master of recycling; the wooden mounting pedestals are the panels from a decommissioned ATI console!) Thanks for your ...
