LEDs are more efficient than incandescent lights and can last 100 times longer, but they require specialized electronic-drive circuits to avoid overstress conditions. The main operating parameter is ...

This is the circuit diagram of bipolar LED Driver using microcontroller. Here we use an LED which has a forward voltage drop of 2.2V and hence can be biased using a 5V supply. This Bipolar LED Driver ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. This circuit builds on a previous idea in which the addition of an optocoupler to a microcontroller output converted a “dumb” ...
