Provide High-Side Current-Sensing for White-LED Drivers - 02/19/04 EDN-Design Ideas White LEDs find wide use in backlighting color-LCD screens in most portable devices, such as cellular phones, PDAs, and MP3 players. Multiple LEDs often connect in series to ensure that the same current flows through every LED. To Design by Dimitry Goder, Sipex Corp, San Jose, CA Rechargeable Torch Based On White Led - Rechargeable torches don’t come without problems. You need to replace the bulbs and charge the batteries frequently. The average incandescent light-emitting diode (LED) based torch, for instance, consumes around 2 watts....__ Electronics Projects for You
Regulated 20 mA Dual White LED Lamp - This is an ultra-simple LED spot lamp that consists of two LEDs and a current regulator circuit. It is designed for use in 12V solar powered lighting applications and can be used in cars, boats, RVs and even fountains. Only seven components are required. The circuit produces non-flickering regulated light with an input of 11 to 20 volts. If the lamp is potted in Silicone caulk, it will be completely waterproof. The circuit will support either 20mA, 25mA and 30mA LEDs by changing the value of one resistor. __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook

Rotary Encoder Mates with Digital Potentiometer - 6-Mar-03 EDN-Design Ideas Buck IC boosts battery voltage for white LEDIn developing electronic systems, designers look for products or ideas that may benefit from the better performance, smaller size, lower cost, and improved reliability that an IC can offer. Toward that end, the digital potentiometer emerged as an alternative to its mechanical counterpart, the mechanical potentiometer Design by Peter Khairolomour, Analog Devices, San Jose, CA
Scheme provides high-side current-sensing for white-LED drivers - 19-Feb-04 EDN-Design Ideas White LEDs find wide use in backlighting color-LCD screens in most portable devices, such as cellular phones, PDAs, and MP3 players. Multiple LEDs often connect in series to ensure that the same current flows through every LED. To forward-bias these LEDs, a voltage of 10 to 16V comes from an inductor-based boost regulator, such as an SP6690 Design by Dimitry Goder, Sipex Corp, San Jose, CA

Seven Component Regulated LED Lamp - This is a minimal parts lamp made with four white LEDs. It features regulated light output from 10V to around 20V and works well as a flashlight. __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook
Simple Circuit drives latching relays - 02/01/96 EDN-Design Ideas Figure 1 shows a low-parts-count circuit that can drive one- or two-coil latching relays. Latching relays are useful in sensitive analog designs. The 74ACT174 hex flip-flop has ample capability to drive the Aromat TQ2E series of latching relays. Both windings for the TQ2E-L2-5V two-coil relay are on the same magnetic element, so the windings' fields add. You Design by Roy McCammon, 3M Austin, TX

Solar-Powered_LED_Light_for_Tool_Shed - I have a lean-to 8ft by 12ft shed next to my house. It is full of lawn chemicals and garden supplies. There were times when I needed to get something from inside the shed during the dead of night. Early on I had to use a flashlight. But later, I installed a series of five 12v LED light strips on the ceiling. Each strip contained 15 3v white LEDs. The strip had 5 strings of three LEDs, wired in series, with a 150 ohm current limiting resistor. . . . Hobby Circuit by David Johnson P.E.-July 14, 2017
Solar Charged LED Utility Light - Tired of always spending money on flashlight batteries only to have them fail just when you need them? Try this simple circuit out. It would make an excellent science fair project. The white LEDs are quite bright, they provide enough light to illuminate a small room at night. The LEDs produce a nicely focused beam. You can read by the light of this device. __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook
