    摘要: A method of overpower protection in a power supply system for driving a light source includes determining a voltage drop across a voltage-controlled resistor (VCR) coupled in series with the light source, calculating a power dissipation of the VCR based on the voltage drop and an output current of the power supply system, determining whether the power dissipation is greater than a power threshold, and in response to determining that the power dissipation is less than or equal to the power threshold, determining that an accumulated energy of the VCR is greater than zero, and decrementing the accumulated energy based on the power threshold and the power dissipation of the VCR.

    摘要: A method of controlling a power supply electrically coupled to a dimmer includes receiving a current pulse-width-modulated (PWM) pulse of a plurality of PWM pulses corresponding to a dimmer level, calculating a current duty cycle of the current PWM pulse, comparing the current duty cycle with a window of validity to determine whether the current duty cycle is within the window of validity, and in response to determining that the current duty cycle is not within the window of validity, determining whether a count of out-of-range PWM pulses having duty cycles not within the window of validity is greater than a threshold, and in response to determining that the count of out-of-range PWM pulses is greater than the threshold generating a sample value corresponding to the current duty cycle for transmission to the power supply.

    摘要: A power supply system includes a converter configured to generate a drive signal based on a rectified input signal for powering a light source, a ripple control system including a voltage-controlled resistor (VCR) coupled to a secondary-side of the converter and configured to dynamically adjust a resistance of the VCR to compensate for ripples in the drive signal, and a controller configured to sense an output voltage of the converter, to calculate a voltage drop across the VCR, and to generate a feedback signal to control the drive signal of the converter based on the sensed output voltage and the calculated voltage drop.
