A voltage multiplier is applied as a high source impedance, 36V, 300mA, 12W LED driver. The high source impedance is ideal for driving power LEDs because it accommodates variations in LED junction ...

A buck-boost controller IC with four external switching MOSFETs can operate from input voltages above, below, or equal to the output voltage, enabling them to regulate the light output for a string of ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are often used with a voltage source from a power-supply output voltage. The output voltage increases until the current through the LEDs reaches the value of the ...

Scarcely a lighting application exists that designers have not considered converting to solid-state lighting, especially as LEDs by leaps and bounds improve both the quantity and the quality of their ...

This article is Part 2 of a new seven-part series on the effects of power quality disturbances on a five-stage electronic LED driver. In Part 1, which ran in the April 2018 issue, we listed seven ...

Engineers make many tradeoffs when designing SoC’s to better meet design specifications. Power, Performance and Area (PPA) are the primary goals and all three impact the cost of the implementation.
