A successive approximation register (SAR) is utilized to control adaptive off-time in order to regulate accurate light-emitting diode (LED) current and improve efficiency of LED driver. The proposed SAR-controlled adaptive off-time technique without the external sensing resistor can sense the current flowing through LEDs during the turning on of the N-type power MOSFET, as well as provide adaptive off-time depending on the input voltage and the numbers of LED, to obtain an accurate LED current. Experimental results show the inductor current ripple is kept within ±15% of the DC current. As a result, line regulation is guaranteed in this proposed design.
