Hi,

You are right, The term LED driver is used in a wide context. As you have mentioned LED driver is an IC that is used to power LED as well as regulate current, increase efficiency, allows controllability, increases light quality and much more!

If you are exploring this wide category of product, right place would be to go through the LED Lighting Application Brochure and get the overview of all products and their functionality. Also, LED Driver ICs and its subcategories provides further information.
