The primary difference between active and passive electronic components lies in their ability to control electric current. Active components can control the flow of electricity, whereas Passive components cannot control the flow of electricity running through them. Here’s a detailed comparison between the two: Active Components: Definition Active components are electronic components that can control […]

What is an LED Driver?
To drive LED, the voltage converter LED driver modifies the power supply to a certain voltage current. In general, the LED driver’s input includes high voltage power frequency AC (i.e., city electricity), low voltage DC, high voltage DC, low voltage and high-frequency AC (such as the output of the electronic transformer). The LED driver power […]
