A voltage multiplier is applied as a high source impedance, 36V, 300mA, 12W LED driver. The high source impedance is ideal for driving power LEDs because it accommodates variations in LED junction ...
This LED DC voltage indicator circuit is a voltmeter, rather than simply a battery tester. As such it may measure voltages as low as 3V. It utilizes venerable LM741 operational amplifiers applied as ...
In a fashion similar to using stacked Zeners for voltage regulation, this LED circuit cleverly combines voltage reference and voltage indication. Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses ...
Example: circuit determines the LED has a forward voltage of 1.8v and you have 99v, 10mA set, it will do this: 99v-1.8v/0.01A and come up with 9720 ohms resistor. (10k would be the nearest common ...
This voltage-booster circuit for driving one or more white LEDs uses a 555 timer as its main element (see the figure). The timer, IC1, functions as a resettable astable multivibrator where R1, R2 ...
I'm wondering what the generally accepted rules are about what the maximum draw on a motherboard's led connectors is. I'm thinking about hooking up 2-3 leds per function (hdd, pwr, etc) and want ...
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 ...
