Driving a light-emitting diode (LED) or LED array is not without its challenges. The LEDs require a well-designed constant-current source for controlled brightness. More specifically, the output ...

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 ...

The circuit below illustrates powering a LED (or two) from the 120 volt AC line using a capacitor to drop the voltage and a small resistor to limit the inrush current. Since the capacitor must pass ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Capacitors often are connected in parallel in power electronics to decrease high-frequency ripples, current stress, decrease power ...
