From the project
A compact adjustable IR source driver designed around a MAX16977 buck converter for driving an infrared emitter with controlled output voltage/current.
A compact adjustable IR source driver designed around a MAX16977 buck converter for driving an infrared emitter with controlled output voltage/current.
The project covers schematic design, component selection, PCB layout, fabrication preparation, and hardware testing using KiCad.
The IR Source Driver was developed as a dedicated driver circuit for an IR source used in an infrared sensing/measurement setup.
