Li-Ion Driver for 6 White LEDs With External PWM Dimming

circuit schematic

The TPS61160/1 is a boost converter that drives up to 10 LEDs in series with a 40-V rated integrated switch FET. To reduce output ripple, improve convertion efficiency, and allows for the use of small external component, the boost converter is very usefull. The default white LED current is set with the external sensor resistor [...]

Switchstart Ballast Circuit for Fluorescent Tube Lamp

circuit schematic

Simplicity, low cost and improved efficiency when compared with the alternative options are the reasons why the switchstart circuit has been widely adopted. Moreover, the 230V mains voltage is sufficiently higher than tube running voltage to let the use of the simple series impedance ballast in almost every case. Where the mains voltage is not [...]

PWM Dimming for LED RGB Video Displays

circuit schematic

This is an application that can be used to adjust LED brightness while maintaining superior color quality. This application uses pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming technique. This application can be used for single-line scrolling displays, transportation road signs, simple scoreboards, ever-expanding advertising markets encompassing convenience gas stations, shops, stadiums, and stores. Following figures shows color [...]

AC Powered-LED Flasher

circuit schematic

Based on a request by FreeCircuitDiagram reader Helynn Schufletowski, here we present an AC powered-LED flasher circuit for all of you! DEADLY ELECTRICAL SHOCK WARNING: This circuit is not isolated from mains supply, don’t touch it when it’s plugged to the power line.

The circuit is based on our previous transistor LED flasher circuit, but we [...]
