Low-Power PWM Output Controls LED Brightness
Abstract:A common brightness-control circuit for LEDs uses an electrically controlled potentiometer (EPOT) to achieve digital
control of the LED brightness. Replacing the EPOT with an RC network, however, reduces both the IC count and the required
number of control lines.
A system in which a microcontroller or programmable logic controls one or more LEDs often requires the capability of controlling
LED brightness. A common approach for achieving this adjusts an electrically controlled potentiometer (EPOT), which in turn,
controls the LED dr……
