    摘要: The invention relates to a converter comprising resonant circuit elements (S1, S2) for chopping a DC voltage (U1), in which switch-on phases of the circuit elements (S1, S2) are alternating, and comprising a circuit assembly (5) with resonant circuit elements (Cr, Lr) which is used for processing the chopped DC voltage (U3) and for producing an output voltage (U2). As a type of converter load monitoring that can be changed with the least possible circuit expenditure and the least possible measuring losses, there is proposed to compare in a dead time phase (Ttot) before a circuit element is switched on the voltage (US1) or (US2) applied to the circuit element with a threshold (Uth) and ascertain from this comparison result whether an inductive or capacitive converter load is present. As a second embodiment there is proposed to determine during a dead time phase (Ttot) the derived value (dUS1/dt) of the voltage (US1) present on the circuit element and ascertain with the determined derived value (dUS1/dt) whether an inductive or capacitive converter load is present.

    摘要: An input stage (10) of an apparatus (1) for driving a light-emitting diode (40-42) receives a signal from a power supply (30-32), and an output stage (20) supplies a current to the light-emitting diode (40-42). The peak value divided by the average value of the current forms a ratio. The driving efficiency is improved by providing the input stage (10) with an arrangement (11) for reducing this ratio by manipulation of the signal, without the necessity of using any smoothing capacitors/inductors. The manipulation may comprise an addition of a frequency component to the signal or an adaptation of an amplitude of a frequency component of the signal. This frequency component may be a third and/or fifth and/or seventh harmonic frequency component of a fundamental frequency component of the signal. The arrangement (11) may comprise a resonant tank which may need to be tuned to the frequency component of the signal.

    摘要: In light emitting diode circuits (1) comprising serially coupled first and second circuits (11, 12) with first and second light emitting diodes, third circuits (13) are coupled in parallel with the second circuits (12) for controlling the first light emitting diodes in the first circuits (11) and/or third light emitting diodes in fourth circuits (14). This allowes more options, more optimizations, more flexibility and/or more efficiency. The light emitting diode circuit (1) receives a supply voltage from a source (2, 3) for feeding the light emitting diode circuit (1). The third circuit (13) receives a feeding voltage from the second circuit (12) for feeding the third circuit (13). The feeding voltage may be a voltage present across the second circuit (12). The third circuit (13) may further control the second light emitting diodes in the second circuit (12). Said controlling may comprise controlling a current flowing through said light emitting diodes for the purpose of dimming, flicker suppression, color control and/or temperature protection.

    摘要: In supply circuits (6) comprising bridge circuits (2) and resonance circuits (3) with primary parts to be coupled to the bridge circuits (2) and secondary parts to be coupled to load circuits (4), the secondary parts are provided with elements (32-34) defining resonance frequencies and resonance impedances, to be able to supply different load circuits (4) and/or different loads (41-42) per load circuit (4) individually. The elements (32-34) may comprise capacitors (34) and inductors (32-33). The resonance frequencies define features of primary signals to be supplied from the bridge circuits (2) to the resonance circuits (3) such as pulse widths of pulses of voltage signals and/or pulse frequencies of the voltage signals. The resonance impedances define features of secondary signals to be supplied from the resonance circuits (3) to the load circuits (4) such as values or average values of current signals.
