    摘要: A method for dimming an illumination system (20) capable of emitting light (L) with a variable color is described. The illumination system (20) comprises three dimmable light sources (21, 22, 23) generating respective lights (L1, L2, L3) having respective, mutually different colors (C1, C2, C3).

    摘要: A fluorescent lamp (2), in particular a backlight lamp of a display device, is supplied with an alternating voltage, a frequency and an amplitude of which being greater during ignition than during normal operation of the lamp. The voltage (V) across the lamp and the current (I) through the lamp are measured to provide a measured voltage value and a measured real lamp current value. From the alternating voltage there is derived a voltage (V2). The measured voltage value is multiplied by the sum of the measured real lamp current value and the derived voltage. The multiplication result (P=V*(I+V2)) is compared with a reference value (Ref), which results in a difference or error value. The error value is used to control the frequency and the amplitude of the alternating voltage (V), such that the error value is minimized.

    摘要: A ballast circuit for operating a discharge lamp equipped with a control loop for controlling the power consumed by the lamp. A first circuit part is coupled to the discharge lamp and to input terminals for connection to a source of supply voltage for the ballast circuit. The first circuit part is coupled to the input terminals to supply lamp current from the supply voltage. The control loop includes a second circuit part coupled to the first circuit to generate a first signal that represents a desired value of lamp power. A third circuit part is coupled to the input terminals for generating a second signal that depends on the amplitude of the supply voltage. A fourth circuit part has an input coupled to the third circuit part and an output coupled to an input of the second circuit part for adjusting the value of the first signal dependent upon the second signal. The power consumed by the lamp is decreased when the amplitude of the supply voltage decreases. Too high currents in the ballast circuit are thereby prevented.

    摘要: A power supply circuit has an LLC converter stage for converting a DC voltage input into a DC voltage output, and at least one hysteretic converter stage. Each hysteretic converter stage has a DC voltage input coupled to the DC voltage output of the LLC converter stage, and a DC current output. The LLC converter stage lacks a feedback control, and is operated at its load independent point. A ripple on the DC voltage output of the LLC converter does not affect the output current of the hysteretic converter stage. The stable DC current output of the hysteretic converter stage is coupled to a load having one or more LED strings.

    摘要: A lamp driver circuit (400) comprises a feedback circuit for controlling stable operation of a discharge lamp (La), e.g. an inductively coupled discharge lamp such as a molecular radiation lamp, and for controlling a light output level of the discharge lamp (La). In particular, if the discharge lamp (La) is operated at a dimmed light output level, the light output is sensitive to changes in the lamp voltage (VLa), possibly resulting in flickering. In order to control stable lamp operation and prevent flickering, a high-sp feedback circuit is provided for controlling an operating frequency. In order to provide a relatively large dimming range for controlling the light output level, a low-speed feedback circuit is provided for controlling a DC supply voltage level (VDC).

    摘要: A lighting device (1) comprises a plurality of LEDs (11-14) producing light (21-24) of mutually different colors. The LEDs are driven in switching cycles (63) with a duty cycle controlled supply current of constant magnitude. In each switching cycle, each LED is first switched ON (61) and then switched OFF (62).In a measuring mode, during one switching cycle (63B), all ON phases of all LEDs are briefly interrupted, except for one LED (11), so that a light sensor (70) measures the light from this one LED. This measurement can be used to adapt the duty cycle of this one LED. In the next switching cycle (63C), the interruption of the ON phases is compensated by extending the ON phases of all LEDs except said one LED, the extension having a duration equal to the duration (τD) of the interruption.
