    Abstract: A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) may be used to generate a supply voltage for operating a controller, such as a lighting controller for a LED-based light bulb. A base of the BJT may receive current generated from the supply voltage to control operation of the BJT. Although the base of the BJT would be at a lower voltage than the emitter, a base drive circuit may be coupled between the emitter and the base of the BJT to increase the voltage. As one example, the base drive circuit may be a charge pump. In another example, the BJT may function as its own charge pump. In yet another example, a positive and a negative base current of the BJT may be independently controlled to regulate an output supply voltage VDD from the BJT.

    Abstract: A power stage for light emitting diode (LED)-based light bulbs may include a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The base of BJT switch may be biased externally and the operation of the BJT may be through a single pin to the emitter of the BJT. A controller integrated circuit (IC) may control the power stage through the main BJT's emitter pin in an emitter-controlled BJT-based power stage. The emitter-controlled BJT-based power stage may replace the conventional buck-boost power stage topology. For example, the controller may activate and deactivate a switch coupling the BJT's emitter to ground. A power supply for the controller IC may be charged from a reverse recovery of charge from the BJT, and the reverse recovery controlled by the controller IC.
