High Voltage Buck Converters Drive High Power LEDs

High power LEDs continue to replace traditional bulbs in new automotive, industrial, backlight display and architectural detail lighting systems. LEDs excel in a wide range of performance and cost parameters, including excellent spectral performance, long life, robustness, falling manufacturing cost and relatively safe materials. Linear Technology offers a large and growing family of high voltage DC/DC converters tailored specifically to drive high-powered LEDs.
