MR16 halogen lamps normally operate from a low-voltage AC source typically generated by a low-frequency AC transformer or by a high-frequency electronic transformer. In most MR16 applications, the ...

Yes yes, as some may know, I shouldn't even be thinking about electricity. However, I am fairly comfortable with 12v transformers for halogen light bulbs and swapping them out if they go wonky. So I ...

Most dimmers use pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Those that come bundled with a switch faceplate control the firing angle of a Triac on the ...

Described as the first intelligent control IC designed for transformers that drive low-voltage halogen lamps, the IR2161 adaptive deadtime controller integrates all necessary functions into a single 8 ...
