Light emitting diode control circuit with hysteretic control and low-side output current sensing

An LED control circuit controls a switching operation of a switch by hysteretic control. The LED control circuit includes a controller integrated circuit (IC) that senses a current sense voltage from a current sense resistor that is on a low-side of the switch. The LED control circuit senses the current sense voltage during on-time of the switch to determine when to turn off the switch. During off-time of the switch, the controller IC determines when to turn on the switch by comparing a sawtooth voltage to a turn-on threshold that is generated from the on-time of the switch.
