+5v is max draw.. However, some mb's put less voltage to a LED connection then others. if there is excessive draw on the LED pins, it can cause instability. I use +5V blue and white leds, have been ...

This is a fairly long post, so bear with me- I just want to be clear on everything. It would be easier with pics, but unfortunately I'm at work. There are actually 2 somewhat related questions. I know ...

Cree, Inc. announces the availability of brighter Cree® XLamp XT-E and XM-L High-Voltage LEDs to provide manufacturers more efficient, cost-effective components. Cree, Inc. announces the availability ...

Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green LEDs as both the stabilization elements and as the voltage indicators at the front-panel switch (b). Fig 2. The addition of resistor R4 to the ...

LED drivers control the amount of current and voltage supplied to light emitting diodes (LEDs). An LED driver IC is an integrated circuit (IC) that provides brightness control and backlighting color ...

According to the SEAD (Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment) initiative, televisions are responsible for approximately 3 to 8% of global residential electricity consumption. An analysis ...

[mircemk] built a slick-looking LED tester with a couple handy functions built in. Not only can one select a target current to put through an LED, but by providing a target voltage, the system will ...

International Rectifier, IR®, a world leader in power management technology, introduced the IRS2980 high-voltage buck regulator control IC for LED light bulb replacement, LED tube lighting and other ...

But there’s a problem with this idea. First, the resistor will possibly dissipate a large amount of power. For instance, a resistor used to drop 12 V (a common voltage used for halogen task lighting) ...

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are PN junction devices that give off light radiation through electroluminescence when forward biased. They are used as various indicators in aviation, automotive and ...
