An LED driver uses a switch mode power supply either to provide a regulated LED current (in a first mode) that connects directly to the LED arrangement or a regulated LED voltage (in a second mode) to an LED output terminal. An auxiliary power supply is either based on an auxiliary secondary side (i.e. an auxiliary secondary side winding) when in the first mode, or it is based on the regulated LED voltage when in the second mode.

It can adaptively change between modes to improve the standby power efficiency. When the load is turned on (e.g. a first mode), the driver may function in constant current mode, and when the load is turned off (e.g. a second, standby mode), the driver works in constant voltage mode with the output voltage stepped down so that not sufficient to turn on the LED arrangement to be driven by the driver but enough to provide auxiliary power via the auxiliary power supply, in order to improve the auxiliary power efficiency.
