The AL8866Q, an automotive-compliant LED driver from Diodes Inc., is designed to drive an external MOSFET. The DC-switching LED driver-controller supports buck, boost, buck-boost, and SEPIC topologies ...

In a previous article, we explored the behavior of an LED diode as a small light source. We have seen how important a protection resistor is to light up this component. In this article, we will ...

Electronics are a hot topic today, and kids are eager to master the fundamentals of this interesting and important branch of technology. Here is a basic electronics course for kids that will teach and ...

What Is A Light-Emitting Diode? A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current flows through it. LEDs function by converting electrical current into ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces the AL58818Q and AL58812Q, a new series of automotive-compliant* 18- and 12-channel linear LED drivers ...

The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

I don’t know about you, but although I like reading about electronics in a theoretical sort of way, there’s nothing I enjoy more than the hands-on building of something and then watching that thing ...

I'm sort of curious myself. I've been on the software side of things for a long time, but I have a lot of EE coworkers, and I've been curious about learning a little about building electronics, to the ...

Physicists in Japan have made a diode that emits light at the shortest wavelength ever. The device, made by Yoshitaka Taniyasu and colleagues at NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Atsugi, is made from ...
