PIC10 Constant current LED driver

To ensure LEDs have a long life span, the brightness and power dissipation can be controlled by a constant current source. Dedicated ICs are available for this task though having already designed a buck converter with the PIC10, I thought I’d have a go at extending this to controlling the current through an LED. The […]

PIC10 Buck converter

Well! My new PicKit3 has just arrived and in my last RS order, I got some PIC10F320 chips. The reason I chose these chips out of the massive array of PIC microcontrollers is because it is from the cheapest range (PIC10), features a hardware PWM module and an integrated 8bit ADC. I’m always interested in […]
