An earlier Idea For Design (Hardware-Based LED Blinking Control Eliminates Software Overhead) described a very interesting way to offload the software overhead required for a microcontroller to drive ...

In a world where building energy efficiency is increasingly prized, pursued and rewarded, it’s no surprise that it’s also becoming not only expected, but mandated. Energy-related codes and standards ...

Pulse Width Modulation is definitely the preferred method of dimming an LED with a microcontroller, but we were interested in hearing about a different method called Binary Code Modulation. BCM does ...

As LED systems are increasingly used in automotive applications, Melexis develops a highly configurable, code-free LIN LED driver that simplifies the development of dynamic RGB-LED automotive ambient ...

Quick response (QR) codes just seemed to appear one day in the late 2000s. Now they’re everywhere: plastered on advertising, social media, even Coke bottles, all begging for your attention. But QR ...
