Dimming Control
B. Using a DC Voltage
C. Using a Filtered PWM Signal
Using a variable DC voltage to adjust the brightness
is a popular method in some applications. The dim-
ming control using a DC voltage circuit is shown in
Figure 6. According to the Superposition Theorem,
as the DC voltage increases, the voltage contributed
to V increases and the voltage drop on R2 decreases,
FB
i.e. the LED current decreases. For example, if the
VDC range is from 0V to 3V, the selection of resistors
in Figure 6 sets dimming control of LED current from
20mA to 0mA.

The filtered PWM signal can be considered as an adjust-
able DC voltage. It can be used to replace the variable DC
voltage source in dimming control. The circuit is shown in
Figure 7.
