Infrastructure projects like the Tokyo Gate Bridge are now turning to LED lighting because of its economical and environmental advantages. But these devices still need the right current-limiting ...

One of the questions that hobbyists ask over and over is how to select the value of a current limiting resistor for an LED. Usually the seat of the pants response is: “Subtract 2 V from the supply ...

Vishay Precision Group launched two new ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal® Z-Foil current sensing resistors designed to improve LED brightness and efficiency in portable battery-powered applications.

Sometimes the most useful hacks are also the simplest ones. A case in point is the LED and resistor assembly that [Skippy] recently posted on his blog. The idea is to solder up some pre-made ...

Time will always be“of the essence” for professional engineers and amateur enthusiasts alike. This can certainly be said about the process of designing circuits involving Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

An ongoing trend toward miniaturization of virtually all electronics is accompanied by the demand for a reduction in power consumption. As the pressure to fit as much functionality, and thus circuitry ...

Resistors are fundamental components in electronic circuits. Despite their simplicity, they play a central role in ensuring ...
