- the invention relates to regulated LED current sources. More particularly the invention relates to techniques for configuring an LED regulator for improved stability.
- LED lighting systems generally employ regulated power sources for supplying power to the LEDs.
- PWM pulse-width modulated
- a regulator circuit includes several sub-circuits with active and passive elements that operate in concert to provide power regulation.
- FIG. 1 A simple circuit diagram for a typical regulator for driving LED strings is shown in FIG. 1.

- Process 500 begins in step 510.
- the sample-and-hold circuit operates to reduce the current peak pulse in an LED string under PWM drive at each turn-on moment.

- the voltage may be coupled to the input node at any time, and may be selectably operated for specific functionality such as a PWM operational mode.
- the pseudo-all-pass sample-and-hold circuit 300 is activated in response to the voltage coupled in step 510.
- the pseudo-all-pass sample-and-hold circuit 300 contains components that are activated when a voltage is coupled to the circuit such as a capacitor. In one embodiment, the capacitor charges in response to the voltage signal. Activation of the sample-and-hold 300 occurs immediately with the coupling of the input voltage in step 510.
- output voltage at an output node is sensed. Generally, a first pass diode
- D6 and second pass diode D7 are configured around a sample-and-hold to allow sensing of the output voltage.
- the diodes will reverse bias if the output voltage is greater than the reference input voltage.
- step 540 a determination is made whether the input voltage at the input node is greater than the output voltage at the output node.
- the first pass diode D6 and the second pass diode D7 provide a determination of whether the input voltage is greater than the output voltage, since the forward biased diodes will conduct under those conditions. If the input voltage is less than the output voltage, then the diode D7 will not conduct and the output voltage of the sample-and-hold circuit will be an almost constant signal.
- step a sample-and-hold function is provided based on the determination of step 540.
- the sample-and-hold circuit 300 has a transfer characteristic based on the relative voltages determined in step 540. The sample-and-hold function is provided at all times the sample-and-hold circuit is operational.
