Another important concern is the balance of currents that flow in multiple strings. We know that two or three strings of LEDs will have different combined forward voltages. The LED driver will deliver ...

The FAN5607 constant-current parallel LED driver from Fairchild Semiconductor provides analog and/or pulse-width-modulation brightness control for LCD backlighting in ultra-portable applications. It ...

When designing a handheld device with a color display using white LEDs for backlighting, is it better to use parallel or series connected LEDs? Both architectures have their own advantages when you ...

High-power industrial Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures use series-parallel strings of High Brightness (HB) LEDs to produce superior lighting fixtures compared to traditional, "ballast-based" ...

Machine-vision systems use very short flashes of intense light to produce high-speed images employed in a wide variety of data-processing applications. For instance, fast-moving conveyor belts are run ...
