  • Publication number: 20100123411
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method and circuit to control light emitting diode (LED) output. The method includes receiving a line voltage signal which powers a lighting circuit comprising an LED and determining an adjustment of a threshold based on a variation of the line voltage signal and/or a controller delay or other practical controller limitation or imperfection. The method further includes dynamically adjusting a threshold or other reference of a controller which controls a switch of said lighting circuit for compensating for line variations to maintain a substantially uniform LED current.

  • Publication number: 20100079090
    Abstract: A light emitting driver circuit, system, and method are provided. The driver circuit system and method can be implemented in various ways. An embodiment includes a bypass circuit which diverts current from the LEDs whenever a switch coupled to the LEDs incurs residual current when turned off. In an additional or alternative embodiment, the residual current can be sensed and the amount of residual current used to trigger fetching of a compensation value. That compensation value can change a dimming function forwarded to the switch in order to compensate for, offset, or substantially eliminate the residual current through that switch.

  • Patent number: 7362602
    Abstract: A sense amplifier circuit can be coupled to a match line for receiving a match line voltage and to a low potential line for receiving a low potential voltage from a memory array. The sense amplifier circuit can include a charging circuit coupled between a power supply voltage and the match line voltage that comprises no p-channel transistors. A discharging circuit can be coupled between the low potential voltage and a ground supply voltage. An n-channel sensing device can coupled to detect a potential difference between the match line voltage and the low potential voltage.

  • Patent number: 6593769
    Abstract: A circuit configured to match an impedance of a first pin and a second pin coupled to a transmission line. A resistor configured to match a resistance of the transmission line across the first and second pins and provide a voltage level independent of process corner and temperature variation. The voltage swing of the differential buffer generally has less sensitivity to variation in load resistor value.

  • Patent number: 6529036
    Abstract: A circuit configured to match an impedance of a first pin and a second pin coupled to a transmission line. A first resistor is generally coupled to the first pin and a second resistor is generally coupled to the second pin. The first and second resistors may be coupled to a common node to provide an output voltage level independent of process corner and temperature variation.
