Drive circuit for a color temperature tunable LED light source

摘要

A drive circuit for a color temperature tunable LED light source. An apparatus includes a current driver configured to output a first drive current to drive a first group of LED chips of the light source to emit first color temperature light and to output a second drive current to drive a second group of LED chips of the light source to emit second color temperature light. The apparatus also includes a controller coupled to the current driver and configured to control the first and second drive currents so that the first color temperature light and the second color temperature light combine to produce a resulting light having a selected color temperature and a selected intensity value.
