Abstract
A method of controlling an LED driver can include: generating a first comparison signal using a first reference voltage, the first comparison signal having a duty cycle in accordance with an alternating current input voltage generated by a transformer of the LED driver, and representing an operation frequency of an input source; generating a conversion voltage signal by an averaging operation of the first comparison signal with a time constant that is greater than a switching period of an electronic transformer; generating a second comparison signal by comparing the conversion voltage signal against a second reference voltage; and determining whether the transformer is the electronic transformer or a power frequency transformer based on the second comparison signal.
