Abstract:
Certain embodiments may generally relate to power supplies, and more specifically to a linear regulated dimmable light-emitting diode (LED) driver for a direct current (DC) grid connected LED string. A power circuit may include a plurality of pass devices, and a plurality of biasing pass devices electrically connected to the plurality of pass devices. The power circuit may also include a compensator electrically connected to the plurality of biasing pass devices, and a sense resistor electrically connected to the plurality of pass devices, the plurality of biasing pass devices, and the compensator.

Claim (Index 14):
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and encoding instructions that, when executed in hardware, performs a process, the process comprising:\n providing a load current in the power circuit that flows in a light-emitting diode string connected to the power circuit; measuring an equivalent voltage of the load current flowing in the light-emitting diode string; comparing the equivalent voltage with a reference voltage that is driven by a microcontroller or resistive voltage divider circuit; compensating an error signal by a compensator connected to the power circuit, and by a biasing voltage generated by a first biasing pass device connected to the power circuit; drawing a base current of a plurality of pass devices connected to the power circuit for a second biasing pass device connected to the power circuit; driving a collector current of the second biasing pass device, which is equivalent to the base current; and drawing the load current by the plurality of pass devices.
