Controlling the Light Output of One or More LEDs In Response to the Output of a Dimmer

摘要

An apparatus for controlling the brightness of one or more light emitting diodes includes a sensing circuit to sense a dimming level of a dimmer. A microprocessor receives from the sensing circuit a signal indicative of the dimming level, and a drive circuit drives the one or more light emitting diodes. The microprocessor is arranged to generate a PWM waveform or current level corresponding to the dimming level and to provide the PWM waveform or current level to the drive circuit.
