San Jose, Calif. — Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has introduced support for the DMX512 protocol in its EZ-Color design solution for high-brightness (HB) LED intelligent lighting systems. The EZ-Color ...

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

As their production costs fall, LEDs are being used more often in applications ranging from handheld devices to automotive and architectural lighting. Their high reliability (operational lifetimes of ...

This article presents function modules that deliver application solutions for LED lighting development. It also describes the implementation of high-side driver to boost power savings, as well as ...

Different topologies used in developing LED drivers. Proper connections for buck, boost, and buck-boost configurations. Test results for the three topologies using the same LED string. 3. This LTM8042 ...

Upfront simulation in the design stage of product development has long held great promise. It lets engineers find design flaws earlier and explore more alternatives. There is little doubt that such an ...

In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...

Even with robotics, traditional development and production are time-consuming and error-prone. You can optimize downstream workflows with computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering ...
