by Paul Golata, Mouser Electronics Gone are the days when lights were standalone devices whose sole purpose was to illuminate a particular area. The rise of connectivity and data-dependency in our lives means the role of luminaires is changing. Connected lighting systems (CLSs), using light-emitting diode (LED) technology and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, now […]

Don’t get burned about LED UV
Another myth busted: You needn’t worry about ultraviolet light coming from ordinary LED bulbs. We recently checked a batch of LED bulbs for the amount of blue light they gave off. This effort came in response to claims from some in the alternative medicine crowd that LED bulbs gave off inordinate amounts of unhealthy blue […]

How to design a functionally safe vehicle display
It pays to know about the ASIL B compliance measures needed for automotive subsystems. Szukang Hsien, Automotive Business Unit, Maxim Integrated TAKE the wheel of a new car today and you’ll be greeted with the bright glow of screens filled with useful data: how fast you’re going, what’s playing on the radio, a playlist of […]
Three-channel automotive LED controller uses external MOSFET for better thermal dissipation
Texas Instruments introduced the first 3-channel high-side linear automotive light-emitting diode (LED) controller without internal MOSFETs which gives designers greater flexibility for their lighting designs. The TPS92830-Q1’s novel architecture enables higher power and better thermal dissipation than conventional LED controllers, and are particularly beneficial for automotive LED lighting applications that require high performance and reliability. […]
Natural-spectrum LEDs get RG-1 Eye Safety certification
Seoul Semiconductor announced that SunLike Series LEDs, which implement light that closely matches the spectrum of natural sunlight, received an RG-1 Eye Safety certification based on the safety of its light source and was recognized for the highest level of safety among 25W COB type LED. Eye Safety certification is a rating based on safety […]
