Abstract
In an embodiment, an LED control circuit may include a first circuit configured to form a reference signal having a waveform of a rectified ac signal. The LED control circuit may also include a first regulator circuit configured to regulate a first LED current from a first LED during a first portion of the reference signal to have a waveshape that follow the reference signal waveform but not receive the first current during a second portion of the reference signal. The LED control circuit may also include a second regulator circuit configured to regulate a second current from the first LED and from a second LED during the second portion of the reference signal to have a waveshape that follows the reference signal waveform.
