This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

A modification of the current-control circuit in a low-voltage LED system allows use of a chopped supply voltage to modulate the LED intensity. The circuit prevents inrush current to the decoupling ...

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 ...

How hard could it be to turn on an LED? Connect the LED in series with an appropriate resistor and hook it up to a dc source with the correct polarity and voilà, instant LED light. Of course, you can ...

The advent of LED lighting in the past few years has now matured to the point where sweeping changes exist in the way we think about illumination. LED lighting was once the darling of scientists and ...

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful ...

Switching algebra is easily visualized using switches since there are only two values: on and off, or true and false. In digital systems we represent these as 1 and 0, respectively. There are only two ...

Soft-switching inverters represent a significant advancement in power electronics, enabling reduced switching losses and enhanced overall efficiency. These devices utilise techniques such as ...
