ANALOG DEVICES LT3950 1.5 A MULTI TOPOLOGY LED DRIVER OFFERS 20000 1 RANGE DIMMING OF THE LED

ANALOG DEVICES’ LT3950 1.5 A MULTI-TOPOLOGY LED DRIVER OFFERS 20,000:1 RANGE DIMMING OF THE LED

High contrast applications (day to night) require high dimming ratios, and ADI’s LT3950 provides up to 20,000:1 dimming ratio, providing high dynamic range dimming for day/night vision. The flexibility to combine with analog input dimming provides accurate LED brightness control and eliminates the need for a microcontroller. The LT3950 is a multi-topology DC/DC converter designed specifically to drive

“Smart” lithium-ion battery would warn users if it is going to ignite

There have been numerous cases of lithium-ion batteries catching fire in everything from mobile phones and laptops to cars and airplanes. While the odds of this occurring are low, the fact that hundreds of millions of lithium-ion batteries are produced and sold every year means the risk is still very real. Researchers at Stanford University
