There are many applications for LED lighting, from simple incandescent or CCFL lamp replacement to new opportunities in architectural, industrial, medical, and other applications. Each of these ...

Selecting the right type of circuit protection for a light-emitting-diode (LED) driver can be challenging because system demands vary greatly, depending on the application and power source. However, ...

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 ...

LED-based bulbs that replace their incandescent counterparts require a significant amount of engineering (Fig. 1). In the 60 W range the LED driver board can take up about 15% of the overall cost of ...

Schaffner has added the ED100/ED101 EMC filter series for LED driver circuits. The new filter’s common-mode inductance is matched by a substantial differential-mode inductance. With only one component ...

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 ...
