This application note presents a reference design of 78K0/Ix2 microcontroller by controlling a high-brightness LED. It briefly describes a brief system overview of the 78K0/Ix2, as well as the control ...

Usually, an MCU is considered a digital device. By default, its output voltage level can be either high or low and nothing in between. With the requirement to create an LED brightness control, the ...

Pulse Width Modulation is definitely the preferred method of dimming an LED with a microcontroller, but we were interested in hearing about a different method called Binary Code Modulation. BCM does ...

In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...

Several driver options are at the fingertips of designers with the FAN56XX family of LED drivers from Fairchild Semiconductor. For instance, driver-only parallel connection drivers with no boost ...
