    摘要: An average current controller configured for connection to display-components through a power switch. The average current controller includes first, second, and third comparators, an integrator, and a reference current generator. The first comparator compares a peak current level of reference current with a load current level of load current and outputs a first comparison result. The load current denotes current flowing through the display-components. The second comparator compares the peak current level of reference current with an average current level of the load current and outputs a second comparison result. The integrator integrates the second comparison result. The third comparator compares the integral value of the integrator with a predetermined value and outputs a third comparison result. The reference current generator sets the peak current level based on the first comparison result and the third comparison result and generates the reference current with the set peak current level.
