摘要:
A lighting circuit includes a light emitting diode (LED), a transistor that controls a current through the LED, and a lighting controller integrated circuit (IC) that controls the transistor to vary a brightness of the LED. The controller IC has a dimming pin that receives a dimming signal. The controller IC generates a low reference threshold and a high reference threshold that follow the dimming signal. The lighting controller IC controls the transistor by hysteretic control by comparing a sense signal indicative of the current through the LED to the low reference threshold and the high reference threshold.

A light emitting diode (LED) control circuit includes an inductor current sense circuit with a high-side diode string, a low-side diode string, and a sense resistor in series with and between the high-side and low side diode strings. The LED control circuit receives an input voltage on an end that connects to the high-side diode string. An end of the low-side diode string is connected to a switch through an inductor. A sense voltage developed on the sense resistor by an inductor current is sensed by a controller integrated circuit (IC). A pin of the controller IC that receives the sense voltage can have a breakdown voltage specification that is lower than the input voltage.
