Abstract:
Exemplary apparatus, method and system embodiments provide for separately and independently sourcing current to a series of light emitting diodes of a plurality of series of light-emitting diodes. An exemplary apparatus comprises a power converter which generates a current, a first multiplexer, and a controller. The controller provides for sequential and separate switching of the current through the first multiplexer to each of the series of light-emitting diodes for a corresponding period of time. An average current provided by the power converter is determined as substantially equal to a sum of the corresponding currents through the plurality of series of light-emitting diodes. A total period for switching current to all of the series of light-emitting diodes is also determined. A corresponding time period for switching current to a selected corresponding series of light-emitting diodes is substantially equal to a proportion of the total period determined as a ratio of the corresponding current for the selected corresponding series of light-emitting diodes to the average current provided by the power converter.
