The advent of high-power LEDs that can replace incandescent bulbs has produced a need for circuits that efficiently match the LEDs to available power sources (batteries, car electrical systems, etc.).

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged in recent years as ...

Opto-electronic systems frequently require temperature stabilization for components such as laser diodes, photodiodes, prisms, and lenses. The established method for providing stabilization is to ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...
