Universal Driver for Power LEDs
Tiny, efficient and practical
Practically the first thing you are taught about LEDs is that they need a constant current power source. Power LEDs are no different they just need more current. At higher current levels the driver circuit efficiency is of critical importance if we are not to squander the energy advantages of LEDs.
Gerber file
CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.
Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.
