Advanced LED Driver Circuit Design - Circuit Tips and Tricks

Advanced LED Driver Circuit Design - Circuit Tips and Tricks

One of the first projects that aspiring electronic designers or engineers undertake is making an LED blink. Completing this task with a simple resistor to limit the current is relatively simple. Many people then believe that this is the standard “end-all, be-all” for LED control. Many applications call for a different approach. In this video, I outline a few common alternative strategies and some unorthodox methods that we have used in the past for LED driver circuits.

Hi, I am currently studying microelectronics at university and i have to say that the amount of useful information in your videos are beyond university lessons. Thanks a lot and dont give up your videos are awesome

[mortenlund]

thank for this convincing and interisting video. Really appreciate it.

Thanks for the insights. Your videos are very knowledgeable. Very practical oriented instead of only theoritical(not useful).

The thing about dimming LEDs with current is that I believe the light spectrum can vary a lot when the current changes - with PWM it should stay much more consistent especially at lower luminosity.
Also, if using LED strips, I believe PWM is the only practical way to vary the light, because the way they are constructed

Excellent video Kyle.

when working on LED drivers for your projects, do you take into consideration the flux and voltage binning of the LEDs as well as color wavelengths? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the very informative video! What are some pointers when it comes to UL certification?

[bibinvarkey]

Can you do a video on 100w led street light led driver design?

Nice video i like your channel bro keep up more videos pls

[wenhaoye]

Hi this is a nice video. I wonder if there is source schematic file provided? A lot of contents in ur videos but they are too small to be seen

I totally subscribed to Your channel. They're right ▶️ don't You ever give up man. I'm 34 and God damn I stand no chance to ever be this clever. I will tell about that channel to my friends interested in electronics.

That's a really good tutorial. I would love to see more such in-depth video.

hi, please revert back ASAP since its very imp for me to know. I am using 3x10 cob led along with cc driver that is 960mA, 30-35v and the connection type is series-parallel, now the issue is if one of my string fails so will it add up to the remaining LED or no???

I made some calculations too: 1 led = 30/10 = 3V 1 led current rating = 960mA/10 = 96mA so single led is taking 3v and 96mA

for 1 string:

3x10= 30V, 96x10= 960mA

this is for 1 string, i am extremely confused if the CC driver rating is only for one string or what please help i don't want it to override other strings.

Hey what software are you using here ; is that tinker CAD ?

[karenhammon]

a lot of circuit designers don't care about this stuff.
