The need for a constant current source has been illustrated in this project which uses the TPS54232 step down swift DC/DC converter. The need for a constant current source has been illustrated in this ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

A current source is a critical component in most integrated and discrete circuits and can be described as an electric circuit that generates a steady flow of electrons for a given period of time no ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (DIOD) today announces the launch of its new automotive-compliant* AL5958Q matrix LED driver. With its 48-channel constant current source, capable ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...

An avalanche photodiode (APD) delivers a useful electron-multiplier gain and generally improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in optical communication systems. An APD is similar to a PIN photodiode with ...
