  • Patent number: 11576240
    Abstract: A noise reduction circuit for a matrix LED driver includes a pseudo random number generator, an up counter, a clock module, and a plurality of matrix switch controllers. The matrix switch controllers and the up counter randomly change a power-on sequence applied across matrix switches in the matrix LED driver according to working random numbers generated by the pseudo random number generator. The circuit prevents jitter-induced noise from periodically reoccurring at the power source of the matrix LED driver, thereby reducing noise energy.

  • Patent number: 9755427
    Abstract: A current clamp circuit based on BCD technology includes a current-outputting circuit, an output-current-sensing circuit, and a current clamp circuit. The current-outputting circuit outputs a current to the output-current-sensing circuit. The output-current-sensing circuit senses the output current. When the current actually output by the current-outputting circuit is greater than a clamp current, the current clamp circuit outputs a current clamp feedback control signal to the current-outputting circuit, so as to clamp the output current clamp at a set value.
