LEDs offers a combination of flexibility and efficiency unmatched by conventional forms of lighting, and are being adopted in architectural- and stage-lighting applications because they emit highly ...

The LM3914 LED bar graph driver was an amazing chip back in the day. Along with the LM3915, its logarithmic cousin, these chips gave a modern look to projects, allowing dancing LEDs to stand in for a ...

Hi there, and welcome to Part 3 of this soon-to-be-heralded mega-mini-series. In Part 1, we discussed the first vacuum tube diodes, moved on to their solid-state (semiconductor) descendants, and then ...

Figure 3 showed the ideal waveform for the LED current, which does not take the response time (t r) of the comparator into account. The t r of a comparator is the time it takes the output to change ...
