This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

[michimartini] over on Hackaday.io loves playing with multivibrator circuits, and has come across a simple example of a ring oscillator. This is a discrete transistor RC-delay design utilizing five ...

In designs using multiple LED strings such as brake lights, daytime running lights, rear lights and other automotive lighting applications, current-balancing circuits supply equal current to all LED ...

Frank Hertel’s project: three individually dimmable LED lights. (Frank is the master of recycling; the wooden mounting pedestals are the panels from a decommissioned ATI console!) Thanks for your ...

A technical paper titled “Tunnel Junction-Enabled Monolithically Integrated GaN Micro-Light Emitting Transistor” was published by researchers at the Ohio State University and Sandia National ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are often used with a voltage source from a power-supply output voltage. The output voltage increases until the current through the LEDs reaches the value of the ...

The single cell led flashlight circuit is a self-oscillating boost converter. A typical white LED has its best power-efficiency combination at about 20mA, and needs about 3.3V. This makes for a power ...

You know how it is. You’ve got that new project running, and while it doesn’t consume much power, it also doesn’t give much indication of whether it’s functioning or just sitting there with a dead ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...
