Circuits and methods for controlling power of light sources

摘要

A driving circuit for driving a light source includes a power converter, a controller and a voltage-controlled current source. The power converter is coupled to the light source, and receives an input voltage from a power source and provides an output voltage to the light source. The power converter includes a switch coupled in series with the light source. The controller is coupled to the power converter and controls a power of the light source by controlling the switch. The voltage-controlled current source is coupled to the controller and provides a first current. The controller controls the switch based on the first current.
