An offset voltage eliminating circuit structure for a protection mechanism of a dimmer includes a constant current source, a subtractor and a hysteresis comparator. The constant current source is used for outputting a stable current, the output of the constant current source is connected with a dimming signal input through a current-limiting resistor, and the dimming signal input is connected with an output of an external traditional dimmer. A voltage that causes an offset voltage is created across the current-limiting resistor when a current flows through the current-limiting resistor. An input of the subtractor is connected with the constant current source, and another input of the subtractor is input with an offset reference voltage. A non-inverting input of the hysteresis comparator is connected to the output of the subtractor, while the inverting input of the hysteresis comparator is input with a saw-tooth wave. By setting the offset reference voltage to be the same as the voltage of the current-limiting resistor, the subtractor eliminates the voltage of the current-limiting resistor, so that the hysteresis comparator is able to obtain the correct dimming signal voltage and output a GD pulse signal for adjusting the brightness of a LED.

A fault protected current source is provided that can be used to safely drive LEDs in reliability test systems. The current source is includes circuits and processes that detect the common faults found in LED reliability test systems. After a fault is detected, the current source shuts down drive before destructive spikes are produced. Because only true LED failures are counted, this fault protected current source can be used to construct reliability test systems that produce more accurate reliability test data.
