In this post, two LED blinking circuits are given below. First one is dancing bi-color LEDs (two different color LEDs) where the two color LED will run in sequence. In the second circuit, we will ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

This is a simple flashing led circuit with 2 leds and 2 NPN transistors. It illustrates the behavior of transistors and capacitors and if you use an oscilloscope it will be very easy to determine what ...

Here’s a simple project for your Halloween celebration. The other day while looking through our box of Halloween decorations, we noticed that the incandescent lamp in one of the jack-o’-lanterns was ...

I was puzzling over the classic bistable circuit and wondering if it was possible to expand it to any number of channels. And this is what I came up with. BTW: To make it more interesting (claims I), ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...
