Abstract:
When supplying an LED light source with a first output voltage that is equal to or higher than a threshold voltage, an LED driver causes a DC power supply to output a first DC voltage and causes a switching regulator to supply the LED light source with the first output voltage. When supplying the LED light source with a second output voltage that is below the threshold voltage, the LED driver causes the DC power supply to output a second DC voltage lower than the first DC voltage and causes the dropper regulator to supply the LED light source with the second output voltage.
