Abstract
One example described herein includes a light-emitting diode (LED) driver system. The system includes an error amplifier configured to compare an input voltage with a reference voltage to generate a control voltage. The system further includes an amplifier output stage configured to control an output current through a first current path and a shunt current through a second current path based on the control voltage. The amplifier output stage comprises a slew-rate controller configured to control a slew-rate of the shunt current. The shunt current can be provided through a shunt resistor in the second current path and added to the output current to provide a total current through an LED string.
