摘要： Modular multichannel light sources connector systems and methods are provided. A lighting assembly includes substrates, each with a respective plurality of ports and conductive path configurations. Each path configuration includes a plurality of conductive paths between the respective plurality of ports. At least two conductive path configurations are the same. A connector couples one of a plurality of first ports on a first substrate to one of a plurality of second ports on a second substrate. A multichannel power supply's outputs are each coupled to an associated conductive path on the first substrate. A first light source is coupled to two conductive paths on the first substrate, and to a first output. A second light source is coupled to two conductive paths on the second substrate, corresponding to the conductive paths on the first substrate, and to a second output, different from the first output.

摘要： An auto-sensing switching regulator, and systems and methods including same, is disclosed. The auto-sensing switching regulator includes a switching regulator and a controller coupled thereto. The controller is configured to provide a control signal to the switching regulator to increase the output voltage while receiving a current sense signal representative of a current output of the switching regulator, and to provide the control signal in response to the current sense signal to set the output voltage at a set value corresponding to a value at which the current output stops increasing with an increase in the output voltage. A system to drive a light source includes a current regulator configured to provide a constant current output to the light source and an auto-sensing switching regulator coupled to the current regulator, and configured to receive an input voltage from a voltage supply and provide an output voltage to the current regulator.

摘要： A power supply system providing communication from a master module to at least one slave module via transients, to alter operation of a load, is provided. The master module output a supply voltage that is either a normal supply voltage or a reduced supply voltage. The outputted supply voltage depends on input corresponding to a communication to be sent to the slave module to alter operation of the load of the slave module. The slave module receives the supply voltage and interprets the received supply voltage, which may vary between the normal and reduced supply voltages, to determine what the communication from the master module is. The slave module then uses information from the communication to appropriately alter operation of its load.
