Design Notes: 60V, Synchronous Step-Down High Current LED Driver
Posted on: 11 Nov 2016
Introduction The meaning of the term “high power LED” is rapidly evolving. Although a 350mA LED could easily earn the stamp of “high power” a few years ago, it could not hold a candle to the 20A LEDs or the 40A laser diodes of today. High power LEDs are now used in DLP projectors, surgical equipment, […]
