This is a simple 230 V LED Driver circuit which is accomplished using a capacitor based power supply. This is a low cost and efficient circuit and can be used at homes. Here we design a simple circuit ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. announced the availability of SSL5015TE/1Y (771-SSL5015TE/1Y) LED Driver integrated circuits featuring highly integrated switch mode LED driver and an integrated circuit ...

In many consumer applications for lighting the cost of existing technology – namely incandescent light bulbs or fluorescent tubes – is so low that LED lighting’s many advantages simply cannot make up ...

As high-efficiency ultra-bright white LEDs come down in cost, they are approaching cost parity with conventional mercury vapour, HID quartz metal halide and high/low pressure sodium lighting on a cost ...

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 ...

In this article, we continue our discussion on the importance of grounding when installing LED lighting equipment. Part 1 of this three-part series focuses on the ground plane of the printed circuit ...

SOME MULTI-STRING LED MODULES come with a common-anode configuration. The commonanode connection reduces the number of wires between the LED module and its driver from 2N to N+1, where N is the number ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

The typical low-voltage (24 V) lighting system uses a two-wire cable to connect the lamps to the off-line power supply, often located at some distance from the lamps. These systems can control lamp ...

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 ...
