Constant current operation
 presents the principle used for controlling the average output current of the 
flyback converter.
The voltage of the auxiliary winding is used by the demagnetization block to generate the 
control signal for the internal MOSFET switch Q. A resistor R in series with it absorbs a 
current equal to V
ILED/R
, where V
ILED
 is the voltage developed across the capacitor C
LED 
capacitor.
The flip-flop's output is high as long as the transformer delivers current on secondary side. 
This is shown in 
Figure 16.
