Abstract:
A lighting control circuit ( 10 ) for controlling a plurality of LEDs ( 24, 26 ). The lighting control circuit ( 10 ) includes a current source ( 12 ) coupleable to a first LED ( 20 ) and a second LED ( 22 ); a first switch ( 24 ) configured to switch from an open position to a closed position when driven by a first drive signal (V 3 ), wherein the first switch ( 24 ) is positioned to interrupt current flow (I out ) through the first LED ( 20 ) when the first switch ( 24 ) is in the open position; a second switch ( 26 ) configured to switch from an open position to a closed position when driven by a second drive signal (V 4 ), the second drive signal (V 4 ) being temporally non-overlapping with respect to the first drive signal (V 3 ), wherein the second switch ( 26 ) is positioned to interrupt current flow (I out ) through the second LED ( 22 ) when the second switch ( 30 ) is in the open position.

Claim (Index 13):
A lighting control method, comprising the steps of:\n delivering, with a current source, a current, proportional to a reference voltage, to a first LED and second LED; driving, with the first drive signal, a first switch from an open position to a closed position, wherein the first switch is configured to interrupt the current flow through the first LED when the first switch is in the open position; and driving, with the second drive signal, a second switch from an open position to a closed position, wherein the second drive signal is temporally non-overlapping with respect to the first drive signal, wherein the second switch is configured to interrupt current flow through the second LED when the second switch is in the open position, wherein the reference voltage is set to a high signal after one of the first drive signal and the second drive signal is high.
