Description
Light-emitting diodes are being widely used due to their efficient use of power. The applications for power LEDs include traffic lights,
street lamps, automotive lighting, architectural lights, household light replacements, signage lighting (replacing neon strip lights
and fluorescent tubes), and many more.
Powering (driving) these LED's is not always simple. Linear driving is inefficient and generates
far too much heat. With a switching supply, the main issues are EMI and efficiency, and of course cost. The problem is to get a design
that meets legal requirements and is efficient, while costing the least. This book covers the design trade-offs involved in LED driving
applications, from low-power to UB-LEDs and beyond.
Audience
Electronics engineers/circuit designers concerned with designing power supplies for LED driver circuits.
Contents
