Publication number: 20180054863Abstract: A solid state lighting driver circuit containing an input for connection with a ballast; an output for driving a light emitting element; and a switch is provided. The switch is selectively operable to transition between a first state providing a low impedance path for a ballast output and a second state where the ballast output drives the output. A solid state lighting driver circuit has a switch connected across its input that selectively drives the circuit with a ballast output, or provides a low impedance path for the ballast output so that the ballast goes into self-protection mode. This means that the driver circuit is compatible with an electronic ballast but is well regulated. Also, a method controlling a solid state lamp for selectively driving a load with a ballast or providing a low impedance path for a ballast output is presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2017Publication date: February 22, 2018Inventors: Ye Hu, Gordon Chen, Baorong Chen, Liang Yan

Patent number: 9420645Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) controller provides constant current regulation for a converter circuit providing current to an LED. The LED controller senses an inductor voltage and determines an inductor reset time from the sensed inductor voltage. Based on the determined inductor reset time, a switch on time and a switch period, the LED controller generates a control signal modifying the state of a switch coupling the converter circuit to an input voltage.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Dialog Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Liang Yan, Junjie Zheng, Gordon Chen

Patent number: 9060408Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe the use of a power supply to provide power to an LED load. The power supply provides a present output current to the LED, and receives a temperature signal representing the operating temperature of the LED. A target output current is determined, for instance based on the temperature signal. An output current rate of change is determined, and the power supply adjusts the output current to the LED at the determined rate of change until the output current is substantially equal to the target current.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Dialog Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Fuqiang Shi, Qiu Sha, Xiaolin Gao, Gordon Chen
