Devices (10) for driving loads (20) such as organic/inorganic light emitting diodes are provided with drivers (11) for driving the loads (20), with converters (12) for converting first parameter signals defining parameters of the loads (20) into second parameter signals each being defined by one bit per time interval, and with digital controllers (13) for controlling the drivers (11) in response to the second parameter signals. The converter (12) may comprise a comparator circuit (40) and a timer circuit (41) for comparing the first parameter signal with a reference signal and for generating the second parameter signal having a respective first or second value of two possible values in case of a respective first or second comparison result. The parameter may be a current flowing through or light emitted by at least a part of the load (20). The driver (11) may be a buck/boost/buck boost/fly back converter.
