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 ...

Inspired by printed circuit boards, the building block of all electronics, a Dutch designer has created an LED-based light installation that draws upon the familiar etching pattern inside most devices ...

Since the earliest versions of indoor LED light bulbs were developed, their designers have faced a variety of technical challenges. These include AC-to-DC power conversion, thermal design/heat-sinking ...

Consumer demand and government initiatives to phase out inefficient lighting technologies are pushing expansion of LED lighting. Designers of these devices must satisfy not only end users, but also ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system ...

LED technology offers significant benefits in the established streetlight market. Up until a few years ago, this market relied upon mature sodium and metal halide lighting technologies. These lighting ...

Time will always be“of the essence” for professional engineers and amateur enthusiasts alike. This can certainly be said about the process of designing circuits involving Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...
