  2. Charlieplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlieplexing

    A Charlieplexed digital clock which controls 90 LEDs with 10 pins of a PIC 16C54 microcontroller.. Charlieplexing (also known as tristate multiplexing, reduced pin-count LED multiplexing, complementary LED drive and crossplexing) is a technique for accessing a large number of LEDs, switches, micro-capacitors or other I/O entities, using relatively few tri-state logic wires from a microcontroller.

  3. Joule thief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_thief

    A PN2222A transistor and 1000 ohm resistor are used A joule thief with two axial inductors replacing the ferrite toroid, shown on a solderless breadboard A joule thief is a minimalist self-oscillating voltage booster that is small, low-cost, and easy to build, typically used for driving small loads, such as driving an LED using a 1.5 volt battery.

    Consequently, ranges from around 1.7 to 2.0 volts for red LEDs to around 2.8 to 4.0 volts for violet LEDs. V s w i t c h {\displaystyle V_{switch}} is the voltage drop across the switch in volts: (A) for no switch, use 0 volts, (B) for mechanical switch, use 0 volts, (C) for BJT transistor , use V C E ( s a t ) {\displaystyle V_{CE(sat ...

  5. Blocking oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_oscillator

    The non-sinusoidal output is not suitable for use as a radio-frequency local oscillator, but it can serve as a timing generator, to power lights, LEDs, EL wire, or small neon indicators. If the output is used as an audio signal, the simple tones are also sufficient for applications such as alarms or a Morse code practice device.

    Blue with one or two phosphor layers, yellow with red, orange or pink phosphor added afterwards, white with pink plastic, or white phosphors with pink pigment or dye over top. [28] Purple: Multiple wavelengths: 2.48 < ΔV < 3.7: Dual blue/red LEDs, blue with red phosphor, or white with purple plastic White: Broad spectrum: 2.8 < ΔV < 4.2

  7. SGPIO - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGPIO

    The SGPIO bus is an open collector bus with 2.0 kΩ pull-up resistors located at the HBA and the back-plane – as on any open collector bus information is transferred by devices on the bus pulling the lines to ground (GND) using an open collector transistor or open drain FET.

  8. Optical transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transistor

    An optical transistor, also known as an optical switch or a light valve, is a device that switches or amplifies optical signals.Light occurring on an optical transistor's input changes the intensity of light emitted from the transistor's output while output power is supplied by an additional optical source.

  9. Single-wire transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_transmission_line

    A single-wire transmission line (or single wire method) is a method of transmitting electrical power or signals using only a single electrical conductor. This is in contrast to the usual use of a pair of wires providing a complete circuit, or an electrical cable likewise containing (at least) two conductors for that purpose.
