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 ...
If your introduction to digital electronics came more years ago than you’d care to mention, the chances are you did so with 5V TTL logic. Above 2V but usually pretty close to 5V is a logic 1, below ...
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 ...
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 ...
