International Rectifier’s IRS29831 LEDrivIR integrates an LED driver controller and a 700-V MOSFET optimized for single-stage flyback and buck-boost topologies used in LED drivers, including LED bulb ...

As high-efficiency ultra-bright white LEDs come down in cost, they are approaching cost parity with conventional mercury vapour, HID quartz metal halide and high/low pressure sodium lighting on a cost ...

In this article, we continue our discussion on the importance of grounding when installing LED lighting equipment. Part 1 of this three-part series focuses on the ground plane of the printed circuit ...

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 ...

Dimming LEDs is an important feature in many of today’s solid state lighting applications. While many implementations for dimming LEDs in the market today rely on PWM modulation of the LED driving ...

Nearly all lighting applications today use LEDs. In a relatively short amount of time, they have become established as the preferred choice of illumination. However, in most applications, an LED can’t ...
