Part 2: A 60V buck-boost controller drives high power LEDs, charges batteries and regulates voltage with up to 98.5% efficiency at 100W and higher. Part 3: Offline LED lighting simplified: A high ...

As their production costs fall, LEDs are being used more often in applications ranging from handheld devices to automotive and architectural lighting. Their high reliability (operational lifetimes of ...

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 ...

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 ...

So, your company has decided that it has either found a niche market or an industrial customer(s) with a sufficiently large volume to justify a business case for some kind of LED lighting. Now what?

A blast from the Elektor archives: this 1998 battery tester uses a simple LED display to reveal a battery’s true condition under load — even below 1 V.

The future of circuit design, encompassing analog, RF/5G, and custom electronic circuits, is set to be revolutionized by the integration of generative AI tools. These advanced tools will not only ...

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 ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...
