Abstract:
A voltage control system for an LED operates to dynamically determine and set a minimum permissible voltage on an energy storage device such as a capacitor such that the energy storage device operates at a minimum possible voltage to compensate for component variations and dimming signal variations while maintaining flicker-free operation of the LED.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for powering a light emitting diode (\u201cLED\u201d) having a forward voltage, said method comprising:\n (a) charging a capacitor with a boost circuit to establish a capacitor voltage on said capacitor; (b) drawing current from said capacitor and delivering a regulated current to said LED when said capacitor voltage exceeds said forward voltage; (c) monitoring said forward voltage; and (d) maintaining said capacitor voltage just above said forward voltage by (i) reducing said charging of said capacitor in step (a) if said capacitor voltage is more than just above said forward voltage, or (ii) increasing said charging of said capacitor in step (a) if said capacitor voltage is below said forward voltage.
