| A switching regulator, such as the LT1172, gives you several options for intensity control. The circuit shown in (a) uses a potentiometer. In (b), you can use either the upper or lower input. The lower input provides the best transient response. If you use the lower input, the right-hand capacitor is usually smaller than the 1 µF shown. |
