Abstract:
An LED driver circuit is provided with a dynamic operating range. A controller for a power converter is configured to regulate the output voltage and the output current generated by the power converter based on a dimming control signal from a dimming control interface, a sensed output from the power converter, and programmed maximum output voltage and maximum output current values. The tuning interface may be coupled to the dimming control interface and provide a sequence of digital pulses corresponding to a desired maximum output voltage and/or maximum output current. The controller may modify the programmed maximum output voltage and the maximum output current values based on the predetermined sequence of digital pulses received via the tuning interface circuit.
