Supertex has introduced an LED lighting chip with switch dimming. The IC, dubbed HV9801A, dims LED lamp brightness to one of four preset levels through rapid toggling of a light switch. Light levels ...

I know very little about electronics, but if you give me a schematic and a pile of parts, I can more-or-less assemble them correctly.<br><br>I am trying to build a simple circuit to simulate the ...

Here is a great collection of touch switch circuits. A touch switch is an electronic device that enables us to control a circuit by simply touching a sensor. Simple touch switch circuit with 4011 – ...

We know that LED is a two terminal semiconductor device. It is used in most of the electronic circuits as a sign or visual representation to the normal human to know that circuit is working properly.

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 ...

The best smart light switches are designed to either connect to your existing smart bulbs to make controlling them even more convenient, or to replace your existing light switches so that you can ...

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 ...

Most DIYers shy away from doing electrical work for fear of getting shocked or causing a fire. And that’s certainly understandable; electricity is not to be trifled with. However, there are many ...
