Most commercial LED flashlightsuse three AAA or AA batteriesin series that produce 4.5V. The batteriesthen drive four white LEDs that connectin parallel. These LEDs can workat voltages as low as 2.7V ...
If you’re looking to control WS2812 (or Neopixel) LEDs using a microcontroller running at 3.3 volts, you might run into some issues. The datasheet tells us that a logic high input will be detected at ...
This 1.5V 555 LED driver is more of a fun learning experiment than a practical circuit. While the TLC555 can indeed drive a 3V white LED using the inductive discharge technique, it typifies the kind ...
