Overcoming Reliability Challenges in LED Streetlight Applications

LED lighting is starting to be used in streetlights because of its cost and reduced CO2 emission benefits. LED technology, however, has had previous false starts where light output, reliability or temperature effects have resulted in a disappointing result. Bourns’ new application note shows how to address the many reliability challenges faced by developers. In particular, it highlights solutions to open LED failure and effective circuit protection in electrically-exposed environments....More

White Paper: Lightning Surge and AC Power Cross Protection for PoE Applications

A new Bourns application note presents a very robust lightning protection circuit for PoE applications. This valuable design resource highlights a new solution where the protection circuit is capable of withstanding severe lightning surges such as 4 kV 10/700 μs voltage surges per ITU-T K.44. It also includes how to implement effective AC power cross protection and demonstrates how this solution has minimal impact on signal integrity in low voltage, high-speed communication circuits....More
