LED-driver circuits can be dimmed by applying a variable duty cycle (pulse-width modulation, or PWM) to the LED. PWM exploits LED behavior: At higher current levels, the LED’s light output is higher ...

High-brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) are making inroads into more traditional lighting applications that include a dc distribution system (for example, 24-V MR-16 track lights). HBLEDs are more efficient, ...

Microchip Technology Inc. has announced that it continues the relentless production rollout of its 16-bit dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) with two devices that offer designers performance ...

Among others, these features make the MAX16804 is ideal for automotive, LED industrial, and architectural lighting applications. An on-board 200Hz ramp generator allows analog or PWM control for PWM ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...
