To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...

This circuit can be used to test up to three LEDs at once, connected in series. You can easily increase that number by using a higher supply voltage. If you do so, you should allow 2.7 V for each ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. LEDs are the most efficient way to turn an electric current into illumination. When a current flows through a diode in the forward ...

I was puzzling over the classic bistable circuit and wondering if it was possible to expand it to any number of channels. And this is what I came up with. BTW: To make it more interesting (claims I), ...

PLANO, Texas, December 19, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announces the expansion of its automotive-compliant* LED driver portfolio by introducing the AL8866Q ...
