  • Patent number: 12004275
    Abstract: A device is configured to determine a switching pattern comprising a first time range for activating a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) of a LED module and a second time range for activating a second plurality of LEDs of the LED module. The first plurality of LEDs and the second plurality of LEDs are different. The device is further configured to determine, for each LED of the first plurality of LEDs, a respective timeslot of a plurality of timeslots of the first time range. The device is further configured to output an instruction to a switching device to cause the switching device to couple each LED of the first plurality of LEDs to a supply during the respective timeslot determined for the LED.

  • Publication number: 20240040684
    Abstract: A light control module (LCM) in accordance with one embodiment, includes terminals configured to receive a supply voltage, and a switching converter configured to receive the supply voltage and to provide an output voltage at an output node, wherein the output voltage and the supply voltage have different polarities. Further, the LCM includes an output terminal coupled to the output node of the switching converter and configured to sink a load current from a LED module.

  • Patent number: 11051384
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to circuits for controlling voltage from a voltage source to one or more light emitting diodes. The circuit includes a first transistor comprising a power switch that is configured to define a load current path from the voltage source to the one or more light emitting diodes. The circuit also includes a second transistor, which can be controlled based on the light emitting diodes, wherein the second transistor is configured to turn off when one or more of the lights emitting diodes exhibit an electoral short. The first transistor is configured to turn off in response to the second transistor turning off so as to provide short circuit protection for the circuit.

  • Patent number: 10624165
    Abstract: This disclosure includes systems, methods, and techniques for controlling delivery of power to one or more strings of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). For example, a circuit includes a power converter unit configured to receive an input signal from a power source and generate a first output signal comprising a first voltage, a charge pump configured to receive at least a portion of the first output signal from the power converter unit and generate a second output signal comprising a second voltage, and a linear regulator configured to receive the second output signal from the charge pump and generate a third output signal comprising a third voltage.

  • Patent number: 10321539
    Abstract: In an example, a circuit includes one or more switches, wherein the circuit is configured to receive a battery voltage from a battery, deliver an input voltage to a controller, deliver an output voltage, and receive signals from the controller. The signals may activate the one or more switches and deactivate the one or more switches and activating the one or more switches and deactivating the one or more switches may control the input voltage to the controller.
