White LEDs used in backlighting provide illumination for the pixels in liquid crystal displays. The LEDs are typically routed on one or two sides of the displays light diffuser, and biased with 20 mA ...

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 ...

The growing demand for color displays in cell phones, digital cameras and PDAs has created a huge market for white LEDs as backlights in these applications. Because white LEDs require low dc voltage ...

Parallel LED drivers can be used to create the fast, square, high-current waveforms required for automated image processing. And it’s possible to extend such waveforms to higher currents by connecting ...

Electronics are a hot topic today, and kids are eager to master the fundamentals of this interesting and important branch of technology. Here is a basic electronics course for kids that will teach and ...
