LED-driver circuits can be dimmed by applying a variable duty cycle (pulse-width modulation, or PWM) to the LED. PWM exploits LED behavior: At higher current levels, the LED’s light output is higher ...

Simple linear and switching voltage regulators with feedback networks of the type shown in Figure 1 are legion. Their output voltages are the reference voltage at the feedback (FB) pin multiplied by 1 ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Boost power converters have been widely used for Power Factor Correction (PFC) in ac-dc conversions [1] and for power ...

A few weeks ago, I saw a reader’s question about how to run PS3 cooling fans using an external electronics circuit. At the time I was busy with some other projects. The other day, I decided to put my ...
