Abstract: A two-terminal current controller regulates a first current flowing through a load, which is coupled in parallel with the two-terminal current controller, according to a voltage established across the two-terminal current controller. When the voltage established across the two-terminal current controller does not exceed a first voltage, the two-terminal current controller conducts a second current related to a rectified AC voltage, thereby limiting the first current to zero and regulating the second current according to the load voltage. When the voltage established across the two-terminal current controller is between the first voltage and a second voltage, the two-terminal current controller conducts the second current, thereby limiting the first current to zero and limiting the second current to a constant value larger than zero. When the voltage established across the two-terminal current controller is greater than second voltage, the two-terminal current controller is turned off.
