    摘要: Systems, devices and methods are described herein. A device includes a power stage circuit, a switch and a first circuit. The switch is electrically coupled to the power stage circuit. The first circuit is electrically coupled to the power stage circuit and the switch and has a single output. The first circuit is configured to provide a first circuit output voltage at the single output. The first circuit output voltage has a first level on a condition that the power stage circuit is conducting at a peak current level. The first circuit output voltage has a second level on a condition that the power stage circuit is not conducting.

    摘要: An LED illumination device for improving anti-surge capability includes a circuit substrate, a bridge rectifier chip, a surge absorber group, a first anti-surge current-limiting chip group, a second anti-surge current-limiting chip group, an LED illuminating group, and an LED current-limiting group. The surge absorber group is disposed on the circuit substrate and electrically connected to the bridge rectifier chip for absorbing a surge voltage. The first anti-surge current-limiting chip group is disposed on the circuit substrate for absorbing a first predetermined surge voltage. The second anti-surge current-limiting chip group is disposed on the circuit substrate for absorbing a second predetermined surge voltage. The LED illuminating group includes a plurality of LED chips disposed on the circuit substrate. The LED current-limiting group is disposed on the circuit substrate for controlling a total harmonic distortion of current (THDi) of the LED illuminating group.

    摘要: A power converter for an LED lighting device includes a primary side circuit, a secondary side circuit, a detecting circuit, a load-dependent circuit, and a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit generates a feedback signal according to a detected signal which the detecting circuit generates according to a second node of the secondary side circuit. The primary side circuit adjusts a duty cycle according to the feedback signal. The secondary side circuit outputs a first output voltage at a first node of the secondary side circuit and outputs a second output voltage at a third node of the secondary side circuit, according to the duty cycle of the primary side circuit. The load-dependent circuit receives the second output voltage and controls an electrical strength between the first node and the second node of the secondary side circuit according to the first output voltage.

    摘要: A lighting device for a vehicle includes a light emission units, a control device, and an operating unit to be operated when the vehicle is started. The control device increases an emission intensity of light emission units in a first period. The first period includes a second period including a plurality of time intervals. The control device changes the emission intensity of light emission units in each time interval of the second period so that two light emission units in at least one pair of light emission units adjacent to each other differ from each other in light emission parameters. The light emission parameters include at least two parameters out of a magnitude of changing amount in emission intensity in the time interval, a direction indicating whether the emission intensity is increasing or decreasing in the time interval, and the emission intensity at an end point of the time interval.

    摘要: A power management and smart lighting system is provided that enables efficient distribution of DC power to various building features, including LED lighting. The power management system includes an intelligent power supply unit configured to convert AC power drawn from a building load center into a deadband DC waveform. The deadband DC power generated by the intelligent power supply unit is then transmitted over power-with-Ethernet cables to a plurality of distributed intelligent drivers, each configured to intelligently power one or more LED troffers. The intelligent drivers may be daisy-chained to one another by the power-with-Ethernet cables, enabling a power-ring architecture. To enable easy control of the drivers, intelligent sensors can be distributed throughout the topology and connected to the drivers (e.g., via power-with-Ethernet cables) to enable a wide array of lighting control options.
