Abstract:
A dimmer interface circuit includes a buffer stage circuit and a PWM control circuit. The buffer stage circuit converts a dimming input signal to a dimming buffer signal. The buffer stage circuit includes: a power rail generation circuit, which generates a power rail according to the dimming input signal adaptively, so that the dimming input signal is between a high level voltage and a low level voltage of the power rail; and an amplification circuit, which receives the dimming input signal, to generate the dimming buffer signal. The power rail supplies electrical power to the amplification circuit, wherein the amplification circuit operates within a range between the high level voltage and the low level voltage. The PWM control circuit converts the dimming buffer signal to a PWM dimming signal, so as to adjust a brightness of an LED module.
