    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 driver (100; 200) for driving a dimmable load (L) is powered from phase-cut mains (U1) and determines the dimming state of the load on the basis of the phase of the cutting of the mains. The driver comprises: a load current generating device (130; 230) generating load current; a controllable auxiliary load (170; 270) connected to an input (131; 231) of the load current generating device; a control device (140; 240) controlling the auxiliary load. The control device has an input (141; 241) receiving a signal indicating the momentary voltage at the driver input. The load current generating device generates interrupted current pulses, so that the average output current corresponds to the dim command reflected by the phase cutting angle of the input mains. The control device switches the auxiliary load on during those time periods when the output current generated by the load current generating device is zero.
