Figure 2 shows the same schematic with a diode bridge added. This allows operation with
a 12V AC transformer.

Figure 3 shows a further refinement with a PNP transistor (2N3906) used as a level
shifter. This allows a smaller resistor (1.8 ohm) and reduces the power dissipated since
the resistor voltage is now only about half (.65V) of what is was in the previous
schematic.

Figure 4 shows the 12V AC_DC demo board with a ACE microcontroller used for
dimming with a PWM signal feeding the current sense node. By using the jumpers this
board can work with either an AC or a DC 12V source.
