  • Patent number: 4403157
    Abstract: A circuit for controlling one or more light emitting diodes is disclosed. The circuit is designed to supply current to the diodes from an input voltage source in response to a control signal. The circuit provides a predetermined level of current to the diodes which is substantially independent of the magnitude of the input voltage. The circuit also includes a switching function which operates to switch off the diode current when the control signal exceeds a first level of control voltage. When the control signal is reduced below a second level of control voltage, the diode current is switched to the predetermined level of current.
