Figure 1. This LT3942-based demonstration circuit (DC2404A) showcases a high performance, compact DC/DC regulator solution specifically for, in this case, driving LEDs.
To meet increasingly stringent size requirements for compact electronic devices, IC designers bring external components inside of their devices to minimize the external component count. Of the various circuits required to build any electronic device, DC/DC converters are as challenging to shrink in size as

Figure 1. The LTM8074 uses Silent Switcher architecture for a complete low noise solution in a tiny package.
Crowded application boards leave little space for high performance DC-to-DC POL converters. Furthermore, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a significant concern at high component densities, limiting the field of acceptable power solutions. The LTM8074 µModule regulator easily meets these limiting factors. It

Figure 1. Power Consumption Characteristics Comparison
Changing exterior lamps from bulbs to LEDs makes it possible to achieve smaller, thinner light sources, allowing more manufacturers to improve lamp design. To improve design, it is necessary to increase LED output while reducing the power consumption of the LED drive control circuit along with size. At the same ti

The electronics industry has made LEDs the standard in most lighting applications, both new and retrofitted. LEDs are replacing 48-inch fluorescent tubes and HID lighting, and they are evolving into ever-higher power applications – from streetlights to high bay lighting. In these COVID-19 times they’re even be
