    摘要: An electronic circuit combines a synchronous switching regulator circuit with an overvoltage detection circuit. The overvoltage detection circuit is configured to generate an overvoltage signal capable of an overvoltage state indicative of a power supply voltage being above a predetermined threshold voltage. The switching regulator circuit is coupled to receive the overvoltage signal. The switching regulator is also configured, in response to the overvoltage signal being in the overvoltage state, to generate a first control signal resulting in at least one of two series coupled transistors being in an off condition.

Another electronic circuit includes a current limiting circuit coupled to or within a boost switching regulator and configured to operate with a diode load. Another electronic circuit includes a pulse width modulation circuit configured to dim a series connected string of light emitting diodes.
