description A circuit for controlling a lighting load may operate to minimize flicker in the lighting load and electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise generated on an AC voltage supply for the lighting load. The circuit comprises a bus-voltage-generating circuit for generating a bus voltage, a load regulation circuit having an inverter circuit, and a high speed control circuit characterized by a cutoff frequency much greater than a frequency of a voltage ripple on the bus voltage. The control circuit may comprise an error amplifier circuit configured to spread the frequency of operation of the inverter circuit at a set intensity level of the lighting load into a spread spectrum of frequencies to reduce the time average of peaks of the spectrum of frequencies and peak EMI levels. The circuit may also comprise a non-linear amplifier circuit amplifying a lamp-current-feedback signal representative of the magnitude of the load current through the lighting load.
