摘要: A dimming light emitting diode (LED) system comprises an LED driver. A switch-mode power supply controller is coupled to the LED driver to drive an LED light source array. The LED driver is configured to output an LED drive command to the switch-mode power supply controller to dim the LED light source array based on one or more LED parameters. The one or more LED parameters include a photometric response parameter, a gamma parameter, an aging parameter, a temperature parameter, or any combination thereof.

摘要: LED driver apparatus and methods may include a sensing circuit for adjusting an output based on either a pulse width modulation dimming control or an analog dimming control. An LED driver apparatus and methods may also include a sensor for a parameter such as temperature and for recording such parameter, for example as a function of time. A setting unit for an LED driver apparatus can be used to sense and/or adjust settings in the LED apparatus even when the LED apparatus is not independently powered.

摘要: A network bridge for a lighting system is disclosed. For one example, a lighting system includes an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) cable, a light emitting diode (LED) driver, and wireless module coupled to the LED driver by way of the I2C cable. The LED driver is configured to control one or more LED light sources. The wireless module includes an antenna configured to receive a message according to any number of a plurality of wireless communication protocols. The wireless module is configured to process the message into an I2C data frame and to deliver the I2C data frame to the LED driver via the I2C cable, and the LED driver is configured to control a lighting application or one or more LED light sources based on an I2C data frame. The message can be a wireless communication protocol message such as a ZigBee message, Bluetooth message or WiFi message. The wireless module includes bridge circuitry configured to process the Zigbee message, Bluetooth message or WiFi message into an I2C data frame and to deliver the I2C data frame to the LED driver via the I2C cable using a serial data communication protocol.

摘要: Methods and apparatus are described that can provide improved power factor correction and total harmonic distortion, efficiency and/or direct feedback of load current variations to a power source inverter. In one example, a power supply, for example, a ballast, can have an input circuit, an output circuit and an inverter circuit coupled between the input circuit and the output circuit. A current feedback circuit is coupled between the output circuit and the inverter circuit and configured to feed current back to the inverter circuit through a transformer stage separate from the inverter as a function of a current level in the output circuit.
