Abstract

See full text

An adaptive constant current engine (ACCE) to control a current of a target load device at a constant level is disclosed. The ACCE includes a closed feedback loop which generates a sensed current that represents a load current conducted by the target load device and then compares the sensed current to a reference current. Based on this comparison, the circuit can output a voltage to control the current conducted by the target load device. The disclosed ACCE adapts the comparison to an operating voltage of the target load device in order to provide electrical conditions at a reference node receiving a reference current that are the same as electrical conditions at a sensing node receiving a sensing current. Accordingly, the ACCE can generate very accurate comparisons regardless of variations in the operating voltage of the target load device.
