Zusammenfassung:	LED backlight circuits for a display and methods for operating the circuits are disclosed. The LED backlight circuit includes a set of drivers and a set of LED strings. A driver can be capable of coupling to any of the LED strings at a given time. Examples of the disclosure can include different configurations of drivers. In some instances, the driver may include an auxiliary transistor that allows the driver to settle before being switched to control a respective LED string. In some examples, the driver can include switches and an idle transistor that can be operated such that a low current path through the driver can exist when the driver is not coupled to a LED string.
