The AMG-LL324 integrated 4 channel LED driver/controller by EDC Electronic Design Chemnitz can be used for driving and dimming LEDs in many applications. Thanks to integrated low and high side drivers it covers high efficiency synchronous retifier topologies up to 36V. Hardware based current control state machines for each channel offload real time tasks from the 8 bit MCU, allowing the MCU to perform communication or UI functions.

The new JoyWarrior24F14 by Code Mercenaries sets a new price/performance benchmark for USB based acceleration sensors. At just Euro 19 per unit (at 100) JW24F14-MOD offers resolutions down to 125 µg. JoyWarrior24F14 modules are based on a MEMS sensor and measure with 14 bit resolution in the ranges ±1g, ±1.5g, ±2g, ±3g, ±4g, ±8g, or ±16g, delivering 125 results per second. Connection via USB allows easy use with any computer model. Since ...

Code Mercenaries introduces LED-Warrior03, a primary switching LED regulator at the Light+Building 2010 show in Frankfurt. LED-Warrior03 is compatible with standard dimmers and contains no electrolytic capacitors. Compared to standard LED regulators with electrolytic capacitors LED-Warrior03 has the advantage of a much higher life expectancy, matching or even exceeding that of a LED. Compatibilty with standard dimming equipment allows retrofittin...

Code Mercenaries ships an updated version of the popular generic USB I/O controllers IO-Warrior24 and IOWarrior40 with new features. The IO-Warrior chips are a family of universal USB I/O controllers. In addition to simple I/O pins they support functions like I2C, SPI, LED matrix, key matrix, driving LCD modules, and receiving IR remote control signals.

Code Mercenaries launches a new product line for LED lighting applications. This is a new strategic branch of operations for Code Mercenaries. In the last few years LEDs have become a viable alternative for general lighting applications. Compared to traditional light sources LEDs offer a much longer life cycle and in most cases a significantly better energy efficiency. But the technical hurdles in designing LED based luminaires are higher than wi...
