  2. Charlieplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlieplexing

    A symmetric layout of Charlieplexed LEDs. On left, 3 pins drive 6 LEDs arranged in a triangle. On right, 4 pins drive 12 LEDs arranged in a tetrahedron.. The Charlieplexing configuration may be viewed as a directed graph, where the drive pins are vertices and the LEDs are directed edges; there is an outward-pointing edge connected from each vertex to each other vertex, hence with n drive pins ...

    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 ...

  4. Twinkle bulb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkle_bulb

    The use of blinking LEDs requires a supply of direct current (DC) such as an electrical battery, as the unaltered alternating current (AC) causes the oscillator to constantly reset. To prevent this issue, mains-powered lights usually have a small rectifier or capacitor (or both) in the plugs to smooth the electricity, which also prevents the ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    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

  9. Relaxation oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_oscillator

    Relaxation oscillators are generally used to produce low frequency signals for such applications as blinking lights and electronic beepers. During the vacuum tube era they were used as oscillators in electronic organs and horizontal deflection circuits and time bases for CRT oscilloscopes; one of the most common was the Miller integrator circuit invented by Alan Blumlein, which used vacuum ...
