Dithering sequence of different patterns and lengths can be employed. A sequence alternating between the source driving scheme (S) (either PWM driving scheme or the hybrid driving scheme) and the target driving scheme (T) (either the hybrid driving scheme or the PWM driving scheme) (e.g., as TSTS . . . TST) and ending on the target driving scheme is effective.
The duration of the step response depends on both the driver and the LED load. The length of the dithering sequence can be adaptive. This can be achieved by hardcoding the sequence per design, by conducting a self-calibration during operation, or by monitoring the change in instantaneous current.
