Abstract
A circuit with two terminals that receive an input current. The circuit includes a sensor, and a controller to generate a modulated signal. The circuit also includes a flyback circuit that receives the modulated signal. The flyback circuit generates a first output voltage based on the modulated signal, shunts or redistributes at least a portion of the input current, and enables the controller to regulate the input current in proportion to the modulated signal.
