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 [...]

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 [...]

This is a circuit of self-writing LED display sign controller. This circuit consist of eight power shift register which are installed in cascade. The shift registers are used to turn on a string of 64 lamps or LEDs sequentially. Here is the circuit :
When the shift register clock (SRCK) is clocked, the register is clocked, [...]

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 [...]

LED flasher circuit here will flash a LED using only 1.5 volts supply voltage. Normally, to make any LED lamp works, you need more than 2 volts power supply. This because LED will work only when the supply voltage is higher than its forward bias voltage, around 2 volts for red LED, and slightly lower [...]

This LED flasher give similar circuit with the previous transistor LED flasher, but this circuit use a 555 integrated circuit chip as the active component. Here is the schematic diagram of the LED flasher circuit:
This circuit gives alternating LED flashing, but with different flashing period between LED 1 and LED 2. The ON period of [...]
