Abstract: In some examples, a device includes at least two light sources, buffer circuitry configured to receive a bit stream, and driver circuitry configured to receive the bit stream from the buffer circuitry and to drive the at least two light sources based on the bit stream. In some examples, the device further includes monitor circuitry configured to determine a voltage drop across each light source of the at least two light sources and snooping circuitry configured to read an inactive bit of the bit stream. In some examples, the snooping circuitry is further configured to read an active bit of the bit stream after reading the inactive bit and based on a value of the inactive bit and to cause the monitor circuitry to determine a voltage drop across a light source of the at least two light sources based on a value of the active bit.

Abstract: Current source regulation circuitry that is arranged in a loop with power supply circuitry and current source circuitry. The current source regulation circuitry is configured to control the magnitude of supply voltage output by the power supply circuitry in order to maintain the voltage drop across each one current source of the current source circuitry to within a bounded range of voltage values. The bounded range of voltage values may be defined such that each one current source of the current source circuitry can properly regulate a drive current that is supplied to a corresponding light source coupled thereto, and such that the amount of power dissipated by each current source of the current source circuitry during operation is maintained within an acceptable range.

Abstract: A control circuit can control the operation of a switching converter to provide a regulated load current to a load. The switching converter includes an inductor and a high-side and a low side-transistor for switching the load current provided via the inductor. A digital modulator is configured to provide a modulated signal having a duty cycle determined by a digital duty cycle value. A current sense circuit is coupled to at least one of the transistors and is configured to regularly sample a load current value. A comparator is coupled to the current sense circuit and is configured to compare the sampled load current value with a first threshold and to provide a respective comparator output signal. A regulator is configured to receive the comparator output signal and to calculate an updated digital duty cycle value.
