To simplify incandescent-like LED dimming – where colour temperature (CCT) falls with intensity – Dialog Semi has introduced a single chip dual output power converter that needs no microcontroller.

Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated has announced today two new high-performance charge pump products which enable designers to build dramatically smaller, more feature-rich mobile handsets.

Inspired by printed circuit boards, the building block of all electronics, a Dutch designer has created an LED-based light installation that draws upon the familiar etching pattern inside most devices ...

Dialog Semiconductor has announced the iW3690, a revolutionary driver IC for LED smart lighting that combines digital control with the company's advanced phase-cut TRIAC dimming. Dialog Semiconductor ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of blinking lights, on its output we get a digital signal that we can use ...

Teardowns of cheap electronic devices can produce results that are interesting, horrifying, or both, especially when mains power is involved. [bigclivedotcom] gave a minimalist LED lamp his reverse ...

A new diode looks set to steal the humble LED's thunder. Dubbed a diode for light, and crafted using standard silicon chip fabrication techniques, this is a key discovery that will pave the path to ...

Need a pulse stretcher for an application like an LED flash? James Campbell does it using TI's configurable multifunction logic gate. A recent design project required ...

A team of researchers has built an array of light detectors sensitive enough to register the arrival of individual light particles, or photons, and mounted them on a silicon optical chip. Such arrays ...

It may look like a barcode, but in fact this etching, designed by a computer itself, could fundamentally change the way computers work. Stanford engineers say their new prism could mean computers that ...
