Circuit topologies for connecting LEDs. Erik Ogren looks at the choice between serial and parallel architectures for connecting LEDs. When designing a handheld device with a colour display using white ...

In a parallel circuit, all the LEDs you connect will glow no matter how many you add. That's fine and dandy for a low voltage, battery-powered circuit running a stack of LEDs, but it can present ...

Schematic of the LED lantern circuit. ... is connected to the circuit through input DC jack J1,the internal sealed lead-acid battery (4V) gets charging supply ... LED current is determined by resistor ...

Circuit Ideas: How to Parallel LED Current Drivers. Feb. 21, 2008. ... Because the bases connect together, voltages at the emitters are nearly the same, and therefore R 2 I R2 equals R 1 I R1.

"For LED circuits, you can simply tape the LEDs on to the copper traces to make the connection," explains Qi. "For more complex circuits with many connections, solder your components to the copper ...

Both parallel and in-series connections provide zener-diode-voltage measurement at two current values. In some cases, I ZEN values may not fit the equation I ZEN −I ZENMIN <I ZEN <I ZEN −I ZENMAX, and ...

A power-limit circuit can be added to the circuit in Fig. 1 to limit the overall power when there is a large voltage variation for parallel strings of LEDs, with the result shown in Fig. 2.

The flashing is thanks to LEDs with a built-in, integrated flashing circuit and the nasty noise comes from a piezoelectric buzzer — both are available from electronics stores that sell ordinary LEDs ...

If you remove any part of this circuit (like take out a bulb), everything goes out. If you wanted, you can make a similar circuit with 10 or 20 bulbs. Just connect them all in a line so that the ...
