In this dissertation, light-emitting-diode (LED) drivers are investigated for efficiency issues related to driving Red-Green-Blue (RGB) pixels and multiple LED strings in parallel. A high-efficiency digitally controlled RGB LED driver was designed for driving a 3x3 RGB LED display panel. A multiplexer was used to sense the voltage drop across the current controllers. This driver maintained a minimum drive voltage across the RGB LED pixels required to keep it in regulation leading to a reduction of unwanted power losses in the RGB LED pixels by selecting the minimum drop across the current-controllers as the reference voltage of the digital controller. …
