LED manufacturers are experts regarding the thermal design inside of the LED package. They can provide the relevant data to describe the thermal performance, and they also have good ideas about how an ...

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

Parallel LED drivers can be used to create the fast, square, high-current waveforms required for automated image processing. And it’s possible to extend such waveforms to higher currents by connecting ...

ANSAN, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ: 046890), a leading global innovator of LED products and technology, announced another victory in a patent infringement ...

The deployment of electronic LED lighting has grown dramatically over the past five years. Most luminaire manufacturers now offer a family of high-bay industrial LED products operating at AC line ...

LuxLEDs combine high-level illumination with low-power consumption and are available in three different surface-mounted packages. Axial intensities are as high as 24,000 mcd with flux levels to 120 mA ...

LED output is a function of the current through it. So to drive the device, it would seem simple enough to set the LED current with a series power resistor. But there’s a problem with this idea. First ...
