Abstract:
A lighting device (4) of an automotive light (1) comprising light sources (5) supplied by a drive current (I) and a control device (6) comprising a control stage (9) generating a control signal (CS) on the basis of the difference between the drive current (I) and a predetermined reference current (Iref), and a driving stage (7), which adjust the drive current (I) on the basis of the control signal (CS). The driving stage (7) comprises a voltage stabilizing device, which supplies, in a first operation condition, a stabilized voltage (Vz2) on an intermediate node (41) thereof, a first transistor (36) having a control terminal receiving the control signal (CS); and a second transistor (37) having a control terminal connected to the intermediate node (41) to be set, in the first operation condition, to the predetermined stabilized voltage (Vz2), a first terminal connected to the light source (5), and a second terminal connected to a second terminal of the first transistor (36).
Abstract:
Light (30) for motor vehicles and the like provided with a lighting device (31) comprising a pair of power supply lines (42, 43) flowed through by a primary supplying current (I1), two or more lighting branches (34) each comprising one or more light sources (37) adapted for being flowed through by a secondary supplying current (I2i); and an electronic control circuit (33) configured to determine the secondary current (I2i) flowing through each lighting branch (34); limit the primary supplying current (I1) to a predetermined minimum value (I1M) when the secondary current (I2) flowing through at least one of said lighting branches (34) is lesser than a predetermined threshold current (Si); control the simultaneous transition of the light sources (37) from a pre-lighting state to a complete-lighting state, when each of the secondary currents (I2i) flowing through the lighting branches (34) is greater than or equal to the predetermined current threshold (Si).
