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 [...]

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 [...]

PWM Motor Control Circuit

circuit schematic

Speed control for dc motor (electric motor) can be implemented using open loop or closed loop. Closed loop controller, also known as servo controller,  or a feedback control, gives the best performance since the loop will maintain the actual speed to follow the reference. In simple application, an open loop controller can be enough if [...]
