Publication number: 20240130014Abstract: A LED power supply with bi-level dimming receives an input voltage to supply power to an LED lamp, and adjusts the brightness of the LED lamp according to whether an external detection switch is triggered to be turned on. The LED power supply includes a conversion circuit, a switch, and an oscillation circuit. The conversion circuit converts the input voltage into an output voltage, and provides the output voltage to supply power to the LED lamp so as to control the LED lamp to provide a first brightness. The oscillation circuit provides a dimming signal with a fixed frequency and a duty cycle to the switch when the external detection switch is turned on so as to turn on and turn off the switch. The switch correspondingly adjusts the output voltage according to the dimming signal to control the LED lamp to provide a second brightness.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Ching-Ho CHOU, Yung-Chuan LU

Patent number: 11646655Abstract: A control method for an LLC resonant converter includes the following steps. Firstly, the LLC resonant converter is enabled. Then, the sonant converter is operated in a first modulation mode, so that the magnitude of the output voltage is greater than or equal to an intermediate voltage value. When the magnitude of the output current is greater than zero, a determining step is performed to determine whether the magnitude of the output voltage is greater than a reference voltage value. When the determining result is satisfied, the LLC resonant converter is operated in the first modulation mode. When the determining result is not satisfied, the LLC resonant converter is operated in a second modulation mode, so that the magnitude of the output voltage is lower than the intermediate voltage value.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Ching-Ho Chou, Yung-Chuan Lu
