Abstract
A driver circuit for lighting applications that includes a power input circuit for receiving power; a light emitting diode (LED) output current circuit for interfacing with a light source; and a light emitting diode (LED) power supply circuit for controlling current to the light emitting diode (LED) output current circuit. A controller circuit is present in the circuit for signaling the light emitting power supply (LED) to control current to the light emitting diode (LED) output current circuit. The controller is reset by removing power to the controller. A smoothing capacitor is present for stabilizing at least an output voltage. The circuit further includes a current rectifying circuit that prohibits back current traveling from the smoothing capacitor to the controller circuit when the AC power is off.
