Zusammenfassung: | The present disclosure is related to accurate analog dimming of a light emitting diode (LED). Accurate dimming can require precise control of a power converter that supplies the LED with a current. The precise control relies on accurately sensing a level of the LED. When the power converter operates in a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), for example at a low dimming ratio, the accuracy of the sensed LED-level can be affected by a resonant current offset, resulting from current ringing in the power converter. The disclosed circuits and methods provide accurate control of the LED-level by compensating for the resonant current offset in the sensed LED-level. |
