Driving circuit for a light emitting component including a control circuit and a boost converter circuit
View Patent ↗A driving circuit includes a control circuit and a boost converter circuit. The control circuit receives a sense voltage associated with a direct-current (DC) source voltage, and generates a control signal with a duty cycle that varies with the sense voltage in a monotonically increasing manner. The boost converter circuit receives the DC source voltage and the control signal, thereby providing a driving current for driving light emission of a light emitting component. The driving current has a magnitude positively correlated to the duty cycle of the control signal.
