Abstract:
A light system is disclosed. The light system includes a light emitting diode (LED) and a shunt transistor having a current path connected to the LED. A ramp generator circuit generates a ramp voltage. An amplifier has a first input terminal connected to the LED, a second input terminal coupled to receive the ramp voltage, and an output terminal connected to a control terminal of the shunt transistor.
