To emulate the natural soft start of an incandescent bulb, this circuit makes use of the thermal-foldback protection built into an LED-driver IC (MAX16832). It thereby avoids the annoying and almost ...

One of the less obvious differences between incandescent light bulbs and LED-based lights is the speed at which they start up. An incandescent bulb requires some time to reach full brightness after ...

NEW DELHI: If you are following the LED technology closely, then you might have heard about the term - LED drivers. This is one of the crucial and confusing parts of the LED lighting because there is ...

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced the new LED driver IC ILD8150/E. It features an innovative hybrid dimming mode technology for achieving 0.5% of the target current. With a supply voltage range ...

LED lighting will drastically reduce energy expenditure, significantly reduce greenhouse gases, and provide lighting designers with increasingly sophisticated options—but only with driver technology.
