A system for controlling a plurality of load devices includes a high-side
system operative to source current relative to at least two associated
outputs. A low-side system is operative to sink current relative to a
plurality of associated inputs. A control system controls the high-side
system and the low-side system according to a multiplexing scheme that is
operative to provide current to selected load devices of the plurality of
load devices connected between the associated outputs and the associated
inputs. The system can be implemented as an integrated circuit for
driving the plurality of loads, which can include LED's.
