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 lighting device (10) comprises a LED (4), a driver (3), and a controller (2) which regularly switches from a drive state to a measuring state and back. In the measuring state, the controller controls the driver such that the driver does not generate any LED current. The LED produces a measuring signal (Sm) indicating a measured light level. The controller processes the measuring signal received from the LED, and makes a decision on the desired light output of the LED. In the drive state, the controller controls the driver such that the average light output produced by the LED corresponds to the desired light output as determined in the measuring state. In a possible embodiment, the driver generates a nominal LED current INOM, and sets the duration (τ 1) of the drive state on the basis of the desired light output of the LED as determined in the measuring state.

摘要： A drive circuit for driving a fluorescent tube lamp comprises a variable frequency oscillator generating a lamp drive frequency, a resonant drive circuit driving the lamp with the lamp drive frequency, and a control unit for driving the variable frequency of the latter under control of a synchronization signal. When a pre-heating frequency is generated by the variable frequency oscillator, the lamp is pre-heated while when an illumination drive frequency is generated, the lamp ignites and operates in its illuminated state. The control unit comprises a transition controller for at an ignition of the lamp limiting the drive frequency to an ultimate ignition frequency, and only enabling transition from the ultimate ignition frequency to the illumination drive frequency after an ignition delay time.

摘要： A system providing deep dimming of a solid state lighting (SSL) load includes a hysteretic down-converter, a shunt switch, a controller and a comparator. The down-converter controls average current value and amplitude of ripple of SSL current using amplitude modulation (AM) dimming control. The shunt switch controls magnitude of the SSL current using pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming control. The controller generates first and second PWM signals for controlling upper and lower current levels at which the down-converter operates based on the SSL current and voltage across the SSL load, and generates a third PWM signal for controlling the shunt switch based on a dimming level load set by a dimmer. The comparator circuit compares first and second analog signals corresponding to the first and second PWM signals with the SSL current, and drives the down-converter in response to the comparison. The SSL current is based on both the AM dimming control and the PWM dimming control.

摘要： A back light emitter (4) of a display apparatus is supplied with alternating current (AC) bursts. An emitted light representing signal is generated from the AC bursts as supplied to the light emitter (4). The emitted light representing signal is compared with a reference signal REF to provide an error signal. A duration of the AC bursts is adjusted dependent on the error signal, such as to minimize the error signal.
