    摘要: A LED retrofit driver circuit (3) is provided, comprising at least an input (6) for receiving an operating voltage from a power supply (2), an output (8) for connection to one or more LED units (5), a power converter (7) connected with said input (6) and said output (8) and configured to provide a lamp current (50) at said output (8) during operation in at least a first and a second operating state. To provide a versatile circuit (3), allowing operation with a variety of power supplies and under various load conditions, in said first operating state, the power converter (7) is adapted to switch between a high current generating mode (40), in which the power converter (7) is configured to draw current pulses from said power supply (2) to provide a first average input current (33a), and an OFF mode (42) in which no current is drawn from said power supply (2). In said second operating state, said power converter (7) is adapted at least to operate in a low current generating mode (41), in which the power converter (7) is configured to draw a current from said power supply (2) to provide a second average input current (33b) which is lower than said first average input current (33a).

    摘要: A circuit arrangement (3, 3′) for controlling the brightness of at least one LED unit (2) is provided, comprising an input (8) for receiving a phase-cut operating voltage from a power supply (4), a signal processor (14, 14′), connected with said input (8) and adapted to provide a dimming signal (12) for said at least one LED unit (2) from said operating voltage. To allow an efficient reduction of noise in the dimming signal (12) but simultaneously to allow an improved dimming of said LED unit (2), said signal processor (14, 14′) is being configured to operate at least in a noise suppression mode (30) and a dimming mode (31). A control device (15, 15′) is provided, connected with said signal processor (14, 14′) and configured to set the mode of said signal processor (14, 14′) in dependence of the variation in said operating voltage.
