In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...

Recently, I was working on a project that needed a couple of LEDs on its front panel for status indication. I realize many, if not most, pieces of electronic equipment now use graphic LCDs, Bluetooth ...

LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs are longer-lasting and more energy-efficient than their incandescent counterparts. But that doesn't mean they last forever. If your LED bulbs are burning out well ...

I needed a simple LED indicator showing that a particular voltage level had been reached—specifically, that a capacitor had charged to a particular potential. I was convinced that there must be a way ...
