With new LED lights, one of the most difficult, demanding, and costly sections of a design is thermal management. Without sufficient thermal management, the results can be catastrophic, ranging from ...
EE and firmware developer [Enrico] had played with LEDs as a kid, burning out his fair share of them by applying too much current. With the benefit of his firmware chops, he set about creating a board ...
Earlier this year, we presented a series of LTSpice simulations with temperature control provided by NTC thermistor SPICE models driven by a voltage: Old-School Analog Temperature Control Circuits ...
Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...
Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. With the rising costs of energy and increasing governmental requirements for high efficiency lighting, the high ...
Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...
