  • Patent number: 8716951
    Abstract: The invention discloses an illumination controlling circuit coupled between a household electricity input and an illumination lamp. The illumination controlling circuit includes a dimmer module, a sampling-and-holding circuit, a differential circuit, an integrator circuit and a clamping circuit. The dimmer circuit is used for generating a dimming signal which includes a plurality of waveform pulses. The sampling-and-holding circuit samples from the dimming signal, so as to obtain an average waveform pulse. The differential circuit is used for extracting a voltage difference of the average waveform pulse. The integrator circuit performs integration on the average waveform pulse according to the voltage difference, so as to generate a direct current voltage signal. When a level of the direct current voltage signal exceeds a threshold voltage level of the clamping circuit, the direct current voltage signal is used for driving the illumination lamp.

  • Publication number: 20140111105
    Abstract: A dimmer circuit and a lighting apparatus using the same are provided. The dimmer circuit comprises a dimmer, a rectifier, a sample-and-hold unit, an integral unit and a current holding circuit. The dimmer is coupled to an AC for modulating the AC into an alternating signal. The rectifier couples the dimmer and the AC for rectifying the alternating signal into a DC signal. The sample-and-hold unit is coupled to the rectifier for sampling the DC signal to obtain an average positive wave pulse. The integral unit is coupled to the sample-and-hold unit for integrating the average positive wave pulse to generate a DC voltage. The current holding circuit comprises a switch and a bleeder. The current holding circuit determines the on/off state of the switch according to a comparison between the DC voltage and a reference voltage, such that the DC signal passes through the bleeder or the switch.
