Patent number: 9974133Abstract: An optoelectronic circuit intended to receive a variable voltage containing an alternation of rising and falling phases. The optoelectronic circuit includes assemblies of series-assembled light-emitting diodes, a node coupled to each assembly by a conduction circuit having its electric conductance varying according to a control signal and a control circuit coupled to each conduction circuit and capable of supplying each control signal based on the comparison of a first voltage at said node with at least a second voltage. The control circuit includes a difference amplifier and as many output stages as there are conduction circuits, the control circuit being capable of controlling the first voltage with the second voltage offset by a third voltage, different for each output stage.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: EASII ICInventors: David Gras, Thomas Peysson
