Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A load control device for controlling an electrical load, the load control device comprising:
a load regulation circuit configured to control a magnitude of a load current conducted through the electrical load, the load regulation circuit configured to generate a feedback signal indicative of a peak magnitude of the load current conducted through the electrical load; and
a control circuit coupled to the load regulation circuit and configured to control the load regulation circuit for adjusting an average magnitude of the load current conducted through the electrical load towards a target current;
wherein the control circuit is configured to control the load regulation circuit to conduct the load current to the electrical load at the peak magnitude for an on-time during a present cycle of the load regulation circuit, the control circuit configured to determine a length of an operating period of the present cycle of the load regulation circuit based on the target current and a magnitude of the feedback signal received in the present cycle that is indicative of the peak magnitude of the load current conducted through the electrical load during the on-time of the present cycle.
