Abstract

See full text

A control circuit includes a clock pulse generator operable to output a pulse-frequency ratio to a constant voltage source in order to control the power output of the constant voltage source. The control circuit further includes a driver circuit for the clocked control of at least one light emitting diode (LED) to which a measurement resistor is connected in parallel. The LED is supplied with power by the constant voltage source. The LED is turned on when the power is greater than a forward power level and is turned off when the power is less than the forward power level. The driver circuit taps a measurement voltage of the measurement resistor while the LED is supplied with power less than the forward power level. The clock pulse generator varies the pulse-frequency ratio as a function of the measurement voltage of the measurement resistor.
