Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

The FAN5607 constant-current parallel LED driver from Fairchild Semiconductor provides analog and/or pulse-width-modulation brightness control for LCD backlighting in ultra-portable applications. It ...

This article will explain the basic operation and configuration of a simple parallel strings LED driver. Examples and illustrations are also shown for better understanding together with its advantages ...

When designing a handheld device with a color display using white LEDs for backlighting, is it better to use parallel or series connected LEDs? Both architectures have their own advantages when you ...

Machine-vision systems use very short flashes of intense light to produce high-speed images employed in a wide variety of data-processing applications. For instance, fast-moving conveyor belts are run ...
