[GlobalSpec-AD/ad-smSQ-ihsGS.htm] 

Drive two relays via one wire  -  This is a very simple circuit which will drive either of two relays via one wire. Apply supply voltage to the control wire and one relay operates. Apply zero volts to the wire and the other relay operates. . . .  [Page's Author: Richard Torrens]

 

Drive White LEDs  -  11/23/00 EDN Design Idea   Newly available white LEDs are replacing CCFLs (cold-cathode fluorescent lamps] in handheld applications using a back-lit LCD. These applications include PDAs (personal digital assistants], digital cameras, and cellular telephones,. . .  [by Eddy Wells, Texas Instruments]

 

Driver Circuit Lights Architectural and Interior LEDs  -  08/11/11 EDN Design Idea   Hold the current constant and within tolerance. LEDs are more efficient than incandescent lights and can last 100 times longer, but they require specialized electronic-drive circuits to avoid overstress conditions. The main operating parameter is relatively simple: Keep the current through the LEDs constant and under the specified maximum. . .  [by Steve Sheard, On Semiconductor, Tempe, AZ]

Driver for 14-bit, 4.5 MSPS ADC operates over a wide gain range  -  05/28/15  EDN Design Idea   Assure optimum performance by matching up ADC and input driver. . . .  [EDN Design Idea]

[Google-ADS/i-ad-ODD-2SQ-GGL.htm]

Driver for CCD Imager and an OLED Display Panel With Soft Start  -  The three outputs of the LT3587 can be configured to provide positive (+15V AT 50mA) and negative (-8V AT 100mA) bias for a CCD imager as well as 16V AT 20mA to bias an OLED display . . .  [Linear Technology App Note - , Mar 24, 2010]

 

Driver thermally compensates LED  -  09/02/99 EDN Design Idea   Optical power of popular types of LEDs decreases with temperature. Optical-power measurements into a typical multimode fiber at 62. 5/125 ?m for a GCA 1A194 LED indicate a temperature coefficient of approximately -0. 4%/°C. . . .  [by Andrzej Wolczko, University of Mining and Metallurgy, Krakow, Poland]

 

Drive™ ADCs Simplify Measurement of High Impedance Sensors  -  DN379 Design Notes (Linear Technology) . . .  [Linear Technology]

 

Driving & protecting inverter IGBTs  -  06/12/14 EDN Design Idea  A special purpose optocoupler can solve your IGBT gate-drive and fault-feedback needs. . .  [by Avago Technologies]

 

Driving A Bi-Coloured LED  -  Some 3-leaded LEDs produce red and green. This circuit alternately flashes a red/green bi-coloured LED. . .  [Name of designer is not given]

 

Driving a Capacitive Load  -  You've been warned! Do not attempt to drive large capacitances with your op Amp, severe overshoot and ringing may occur. But what if you're stuck driving a length of coax cable that's unterminated? You could end up with over 1000 pF that sends the output ringing. What causes this behavior? Unfortunately (spice design) . . .   

 

Driving a N Channel FET from TTL  -  Meant as a quick n easy example of how to switch high current12V dc from TTL.   . . .   

 

Driving A Relay  -  The 555 will activate a relay. When pins 2 and 6 are connected as an input, the chip requires only about 1uA to activate the output. This is equivalent to a gain of about 200, 000, 000 (200 million) and represents about 4 stages of Amplification via transistors. . .  [Name of designer is not given]

 

Driving a Relay with a CPU  -  ASCII format. . .   

 

Driving a relay with a CPU  -  Try using a simple transistor like a 2N4124 just feed the base from the emitter of the opto-isolator. Don't forget to put a clamping diode across the relay (reverse biased) and maybe a 1uF cap. Drive the photo transistor with an IR LED and couple it with some heat shrink tubing. . . .  [by Kip J. Mussatt]

 

Driving a WLED does not always require 4 V  -  LED lighting designers are challenged with meeting their efficiency and reliability goals faster in advanced LED lighting designs. LED lighting customers seeking the latest in innovative and affordable LED lighting solutions can benefit from TI's broad product portfolio of LED drivers, AC/DC, DC/DC, power management devices, wireless and wired interface control and embedded processors. LED designers have the option of not only controlling the power stage, but regulating LED currents as well, eliminating the need for multiple components and reducing system cost. . . .  [Texas Instruments App Notes, 12-Oct-07]

 

Driving an LED with or Without a Resistor  -  In this post I will try to show, why it's a good idea to use a current limiting resistor for an LED. And when it's save to drive the LED without any resistor. If you read about LEDs, you will notice that everyone tells you, that you need a current. . .  [RadioLocman.com, designer unknow]  

 

Driving Bipolar Stepper Motors  -  Stepper motors are devices, which convert electrical impulses into discrete mechanical rotational movements. In a typical stepper motor, power is applied to two coils. Two stator cups formed around each of these coils, . . .  [Seiichi Inoue's Web Site]

 

Driving Capacitive Loads with Op Amps  -  Application Note Published 30-Sep-03. . .  [Microchip]

 

Driving Dot LED  -  A basic circuit of the 89C2051 shown here can be made easily using point-to-point soldering with a universal PCB. Use an ordinary 20-pin socket, do not use a circle-pin socket. D1 is a small dot LED. U2 can be either 7805 or 78L05. U3 is optional for correcting any polarity DC adapter. Without the 2051 chip. . .  [Wichit Sirichote, designer]

 

Driving High Power LEDs  -  AN-703 Analog Devices Application Note. . .   

 

Driving LEDs in Battery Operated Applications: Controlling Brightness Power Efficiently  -  App Note - #1804. . .  [Maxim Integrated]

 

Driving LEDs: to Cap or Not to Cap  -  LED lighting designers are challenged with meeting their efficiency and reliability goals faster in advanced LED lighting designs. LED lighting customers seeking the latest in innovative and affordable LED lighting solutions can benefit from TI's broad product portfolio of LED drivers, AC/DC, DC/DC, power management devices, wireless and wired interface control and embedded processors. LED designers have the option of not only controlling the power stage, but regulating LED currents as well, eliminating the need for multiple components and reducing system cost. . . .  [Texas Instruments App Notes, 21-Mar-07]

 

Driving Microcontroller Friendly PWM Generators  -  Application Note Published 27-Jun-05. . .  [Microchip]

 

Driving N-Channel FETs from TTL  -  . . .   

 

Driving out complexity with abstraction tools  -  06/24/04 EDN Design Idea   Complexity is relative. It can prevent you from solving a problem if you can't characterize and understand the problem within a specific context. At the same time, it provides an opportunity to differentiate your product offering. . .  [by Robert Cravotta, Technical Editor-EDN]
