Abstract
Various embodiments of apparatuses, systems and methods for regulating the currents provided by a DCDC buck converters to an LED unit are provided. In accordance with at least one embodiment, a device includes a time-off module configured to output a time-off signal when an output voltage of a power supply reaches a predetermined threshold; a timer module configured to determine a first duration, and after waiting a second duration, output a measured time signal; and a control module, coupled to each of the timer module and the time-off module, configured to output a set signal during a current cycle of the power supply, wherein the 'on' slate for the current cycle occurs while the control module outputs the set signal and ends when the control module receives the measured time signal.
