Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention provide a light-emitting diode (LED) driver for controlling a static current supplied to an LED array connected to a secondary coil of a transformer by using the peak values of currents flowing through a power transistor, which may reside in a switching element connected to a primary coil of the transformer. In some embodiments, the LED driver is configured to control the static current that flows through the LED array using an AC voltage supplied to the primary side of the transformer. In some embodiments, the LED driver includes a power conversion unit, a switching unit, a transformer, and a system control unit. In some embodiments, the method of controlling the static current of the LED driver includes a current peak value detection step, a step output current calculation step, a static current mean value calculation step, and a gate control signal update step.
