Abstract
A drive circuit supplies a drive current to a plurality of light emitting diodes. The drive circuit includes a voltage converter circuit having a particular topology and including at least one inductive element and at least one switching element. The drive circuit senses a current through one of the inductive and switching elements and generates a feedback signal from the sensed current. The feedback signal has a value indicating the drive current being supplied to the light emitting diodes and the drive circuit controls the operation of the voltage converter responsive to the feedback signal.
