  • Power converter and an LED lighting circuit comprising the same
    Patent number: 10141842
    Abstract: The invention provides a power converter comprising: an input for receiving input power with a variable nominal mains level, wherein said variable nominal mains level falls within at least 90V to 240V; a main power switch (Q1) driven by the input power, and a control circuit (Q2, Q3) for controlling a control current of the main power switch (Q1), wherein the control circuit in (Q2, Q3) is adapted to sense the level of the input power and draw current from a control terminal of the power switch (Q1) according to the level, and said control circuit is adapted to operate in linear region and increase the drawn current along with the increase of the level throughout the variable nominal mains level of the input power, wherein the control circuit comprises: a Darlington bridge with a first transistor (Q2) and a second transistor (Q3), the first transistor (Q2) with a base terminal connected to a circuit position indicative of the voltage amplitude of the input power, the second transistor (Q3) with a base termina
