    摘要: An electrical switch comprises a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, a solid-state AC switch connected in an electrical path between the first terminal and the second terminal, and a microcontroller configured to control operation of the solid-state AC switch to control power flow between the first terminal and the second terminal. The microcontroller is configured to communicate with a second electrical switch over a data line that is connected to the third terminal of the electrical switch and to the second electrical switch, to implement multi-way switch control for controlling power to a load. The microcontroller is configured, upon power up, to perform a master/slave self-identification process to determine whether to operate the electrical switch in a master mode or a slave mode, based on sensing a voltage level on the data line that is connected to the third terminal of the electrical switch.

    摘要: In the backlight control circuit; a luminous flux sensing sub-circuit senses luminous flux of a display device, obtains and outputs a first control signal from a first control signal output terminal; a control sub-circuit includes N control units each including a first/second sub-unit; the first sub-unit connects or disconnects an output terminal of the second sub-unit and the backlight control signal output terminal under the control of the first control signal, the second sub-unit connects or disconnects a signal input terminal and the output terminal of the second sub-unit under the control of the second control signal; the N second control signal output terminals provide effective second control signals in a time division manner; conduction thresholds corresponding to the N first sub-units increase sequentially, and when a corresponding relationship between the first control signal and the conduction threshold is met, the first transistor is turned on.

    摘要: A vehicle lamp that includes: a light source that emits light due to a drive current that is supplied from a light source drive circuit; and a temperature sensor that measures a temperature of the light source or surroundings of the light source, wherein the light source drive circuit reduces the drive current when the temperature that has been measured by the temperature sensor becomes equal to or greater than a control start temperature, and, in a case in which an illuminance of surroundings of a vehicle that has been measured by an illuminance measurement sensor is equal to or greater than an illuminance threshold, the control start temperature is set to be lower than in a case in which the illuminance of the surroundings of the vehicle is less than the illuminance threshold.
