This application note presents RL78/I1A on LED control for LED lighting systems. This document provides sample programs for the methods of control using 16-bit timers KB and the timer KC0 of the ...

Controlling LEDs is really quite simple. As you know, they need to be current limited which is as easy as applying Ohm’s law to your given set of values. To make things even more even there’s a slew ...

LED lighting continues to successfully carve out a growing portion of $50 billion lighting market, which is not surprising given that LEDs provide the best energy efficiency when compared to CFL and ...

Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...

1. A Cree XM-L RGBW high-power LED can be driven by two LT3964 LED drivers for accurate 1:8192 per channel dimming. 2. Typical driver architectures offer 8-bit color resolution. Implementing a driver ...

Pulse Width Modulation is definitely the preferred method of dimming an LED with a microcontroller, but we were interested in hearing about a different method called Binary Code Modulation. BCM does ...

Developers, hobbyists and makers that would like to control RGB LED strips using Microsoft’s Cortana personal assistant, may be interested in a new piece of hardware created by Sieuwe Elferink, based ...
