Editors’ Note: This segment is adapted from Chapter 3 of Power Supplies for LED Driving by Steve Winder. We have seen in Chapter 2 that an LED behaves like a constant voltage load with low equivalent ...

Solid state lighting solutions are increasing in popularity across a broad variety of illumination, indication, signage and backlighting applications, replacing traditional incandescent and ...

Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Many applications for LED illumination require wide dimming ratios, which can be easily done using an adjustable ...

Series voltage drop is the progressive loss of voltage that occurs when feeding a string of parallel-connected loads. It's of particular concern when feeding a string of roadway, walkway, or parking ...

As Set-Top-Box(STB) SoC designs become extremely complex with multi-million gates, lowering of voltage supplies, and multiple clock domains including high and low frequencies, evaluating the ...
