Abstract
An LED driver system including an input receiving a rectified AC conductive angle modulated voltage on a rectified node, a converter, a low-pass filter, and AC detector, and a driver network. The converter is coupled to the rectified node and includes a power switching device coupled to a switching node, in which the power switching device is controlled to convert the rectified AC conductive angle modulated voltage to an output voltage and output current. The low-pass filter is configured to filter voltage of the switching node to provide a filtered voltage. The AC detector receives the filtered voltage and provides a current sense signal indicative thereof. The driver network controls duty cycle of the power switching device based on the current sense signal.
