Abstract
An offset voltage eliminating circuit structure for a protection mechanism of a dimmer is described. The circuit includes a constant current source, a subtractor and a hysteresis comparator. The constant current source is used for outputting a stable current, the output of the constant current source is connected with a dimming signal input through a current-limiting resistor, and the dimming signal input is connected with an output of an external traditional dimmer.
