Myth busted: No, LEDs don’t get 50% dimmer after a year
A one-year burn-in test helps refute a small piece of fake news about LED bulbs. We’ve torn down a number of LED bulbs over the years to analyze their content and design strategies. But when we published some of our findings a little over a year ago, we got this missive in the comment section: […]
Controllers simplify USB-C PD 3.0-based power supply designs
ON Semiconductor has announced a pair of novel devices that are fully compliant with the USB-C PD 3.0 standard. The FAN6390 adaptive charging controller brings ease of integration of the USB-C PD 3.0 programmable power supply (PPS) standard into systems while the NCP12601 is a highly integrated multi-mode flyback controller for rugged, high-performance, offline power […]
