Abstract
An electronic device is provided that includes an integrated circuit (IC) configured to regulate an output voltage for powering a light emitting diode (LED). A first transistor is configured to be switched on or off by the IC to inductively couple or decouple a main power supply bus voltage from a primary winding of a transformer to a secondary winding of the transformer connectable to the LED. A second transistor is coupled between the IC and the main power supply bus voltage, and configured to be switched on or off by the IC to selectively provide an IC power supply input voltage to the IC.
