Abstract:
A load control device (e.g., an LED driver) for controlling the intensity of a lighting load (e.g., an LED light source) may provide a wide output range and flicker-free adjustment of the intensity of the lighting load. The load control device may comprise a load regulation circuit, a control circuit, and a filter circuit (e.g., a boxcar filter circuit) that operates in a different manner in dependence upon a target current. When the intensity of the lighting load is near a low-end intensity, the control circuit may adjust an operating frequency of the load regulation circuit in response to the target current, and may control the filter circuit to filter a current feedback signal during a filter window that repeats on periodic basis. When the intensity of the lighting load is near a high-end intensity, the control circuit may control the filter circuit to constantly filter the current feedback signal.

Claim (Index 2):
The LED driver of  claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to adjust the operating frequency of the LED drive circuit in response to the target current when the magnitude of the target current is less than a transition current, the control circuit configured to control the filter circuit to filter the current feedback signal during the filter window when the magnitude of the target current is less than the transition current, the control circuit configured to control the filter circuit to constantly filter the current feedback signal when the magnitude of the target current is greater than the transition current.
