Module 5 - LED LIGHTS CIRCUIT

The document provides instructions for an activity to design an LED circuit using ZenitCapture software and create a printed circuit board. Students will create a circuit diagram with an LED and current limiting resistor, print the file, etch a 2x2 PCB using ferric chloride solution, and place the finished PCB in the results section. The objectives are to provide knowledge and skills in circuit layouting and design a LED circuit connection using a small PCB. Calculations for determining the appropriate current limiting resistor value for an LED are also explained.

1. Objective(s):

The activity aims to design a LED Circuit using ZenitCapture software. This experiment also provides
students’ knowledge and skills on Circuit Layouting.

2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):


The students shall be able to:
2.1 Create a LED circuit using ZenitCapture software; and
2.2 Design a LED circuit connection using 2x2 Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
3. Discussion:

The LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor diode that emits visible light or near infra-red
radiation when it is forward biased. Inside the LED is a semiconductor which is encased in a transparent
epoxy resin which could be either diffused or clear lens. The LED, unlike a normal bulb, has a
limited viewing angle between 30º to 90º.

Current Limiting Resistor for LEDs

Formula when calculating the value of the current limiting resistor for the LED.

Example:

What would be the resistor value that can resist to a 9 volt battery to light up

a LED? Resistor = (Voltage supplied - LED Voltage*) / LED Current*

1
Note: * - Different LED colour has different current requirement, which could be from 10mA to 30mA.
Luxeons would be from 350mA to 1000mA.

Resistor = (9 - 1.8) /

0.018 Resistor = 400

Ohm

The closest value for this (Under the E12 Resistor value) would be 390 Ohms.
