The AL8866Q, an automotive-compliant LED driver from Diodes Inc., is designed to drive an external MOSFET. The DC-switching LED driver-controller supports buck, boost, buck-boost, and SEPIC topologies ...

The deployment of electronic LED lighting has grown dramatically over the past five years. Most luminaire manufacturers now offer a family of high-bay industrial LED products operating at AC line ...

Light-emitting diodes require specialised power-conversion circuits to deliver stable current and voltage, ensuring optimal luminous efficacy, uniformity and longevity. LED drivers are broadly ...

In Part 1 of this three-part series, we discussed the importance of a well-engineered PCB ground plane for LED drivers, so the ground plane can be effective in managing disturbance energy generated ...

The quest for energy efficiency has led manufacturers to investigate ways of dimming all kinds of lighting technologies, including those that usually can’t be dimmed. Consider, for example, ...

Lighting plays a dual role in vehicle design. The first is for safety with improved illumination and an extended range to protect people and objects on the road, and the second is for more ...
