  • Abstract
    This paper presents an LED driver circuit consisting of a voltage pre-regulator and multiple linear current regulators with an adaptively-controlled supply voltage. The proposed driver circuit powers all LEDs in a string with a constant current and provides consistent illumination and optimal operating efficiency at low cost. The performance of the proposed driver was verified experimentally.
