The LM3424 high-brightness-LED driver with temperature-management control supports the use of an online design environment. The vendor’s Webench LED designer supports the device, which enables lightning designers to build thermally reliable systems. The driver works in indoor, outdoor, and automotive applications and enables programming of temperature and slope breakpoints, allowing safe operation of the LEDs. During an overtemperature condition, the product’s thermal-foldback circuitry reduces the regulated current through the LEDs. A reduced current dims the LEDs to a programmed range, and the LEDs remain within that range until returning to a safe operating temperature. The device can drive as many as 18 high-brightness LEDs in series with a 2A output current and allows regulation of currents based on buck, boost, SEPIC, flyback, and bu...Read More

The self-wetting adhesive protector sheets reduce surface damage to touchscreens and flat-panel displays in use or during shipping, preserving the optical quality and extending the life of the touch device. A self-wetting adhesive applies itself by spontaneously wetting out on smooth surfaces with no or low finger pressure, adhering to a display or touchscreen, providing high shear resistance and preventing sheet displacement. The repositionable sheets come in antiglare, clear hard-coat, and antireflective coated versions of the clear protector sheets. Optical properties of the clear protector sheet include 91% transmissivity with 1% haze, and the antiglare protectors provide 90% transmissivity with 8% haze. Available in a maximum 0.007-in. thickness, the protector sheets have a –30 to +70°C operating temperature. The protector sheets c...Read More
