The LM3914 LED bar graph driver was an amazing chip back in the day. Along with the LM3915, its logarithmic cousin, these chips gave a modern look to projects, allowing dancing LEDs to stand in for a ...

The algorithm in this microcontroller design this design drives an LED matrix and provides digital-voltage-readout and bar-like dot displays, showing dots for a graphical output if the input value is ...

Figure 3 showed the ideal waveform for the LED current, which does not take the response time (t r) of the comparator into account. The t r of a comparator is the time it takes the output to change ...

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 ...

This project is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished with a rather complicated logic circuit. It’s an Etch-a-Sketch made from a 16×16 LED grid. That in itself is only somewhat interesting.

LEDs offers a combination of flexibility and efficiency unmatched by conventional forms of lighting, and are being adopted in architectural- and stage-lighting applications because they emit highly ...
