Abstract:
An LED driver circuit selects a regulated voltage value for use in driving one or more LEDs based on dimming duty cycle. In some embodiments, the regulated voltage value may be selected in accordance with a function that decreases monotonically with increasing dimming duty cycle. In this manner, LED current accuracy can be achieved at lower dimming duty cycles, while still achieving enhanced operational efficiency at higher dimming duty cycles.
