Study Notes

LED Functionality

LEDs have two terminals: anode (positive) and cathode (negative).
Proper connection to a power supply allows the LED to emit light.
Reversing the connection can permanently destroy the LED, preventing it from emitting light again.

LED Current Management

Each LED has a nominal maximum current specification that should not be exceeded.
Overdriving an LED causes temporary intense light output but reduces its lifespan significantly.
To prevent damage from excess current, a current limiting resistor must be used.

Resistor Calculation

Knowing how to calculate the appropriate resistor value is crucial for LED longevity and proper operation.

LED Displays

LED displays consist of multiple LEDs housed in a plastic case, often used for visual representations of data.
The 7-segment display is a popular type, made up of 8 LEDs arranged to form numbers or symbols.
The configuration includes 7 segments for displaying digits and an additional segment for decimal point indication.
