Abstract (en)

[origin: US2010176734A1] A method for driving series-connected light-emitting diodes of an illumination device, in particular an illumination device for film, video and photographic recordings with a pulse-width-modulation of the light-emitting diode current, is provided. In the method the pulse-width-modulated light-emitting diode current is detected and a current sensor signal is derived and fed to a microprocessor, which outputs a drive signal for the pulse-width-modulation and for the setting of the light-emitting diode voltage applied to the light-emitting diodes, depending on the detected current sensor signal. The current-time integral of the pulse-width-modulated light-emitting diode current flowing through the light-emitting diodes is determined and a controllable voltage source for setting the light-emitting diode voltage is driven in such a way that a predetermined pulse-width-modulated light-emitting diode current flows through the light-emitting diodes.
