Patent ID: 11234310

Abstract:
An LED driver comprises a current source and a power supply configured to provide a power supply output voltage to the current source. The LED driver further comprises a controller configured to measure a voltage drop over the current source and to generate a feedback signal in response to the measured voltage drop. The power supply comprises a power supply regulator configured to regulate the power supply output voltage of the power supply between a minimum power supply output voltage and a maximum power supply output voltage, the power supply regulator comprising a power supply regulator input.The feedback signal is provided to the power supply regulator input, in a range from a first feedback signal value representing a minimum power supply output voltage to a second feedback signal value representing a maximum power supply output voltage.At a start-up of the LED driver, the controller provides the feedback signal at the first feedback signal value, and the power supply regulator, in response to receiving the first feedback signal value, controls the power supply to provide the minimum power supply output voltage.
