Abstract: A circuit for operating at least one LED (“driver circuit”) includes input terminals to be connected to an input or operating voltage in the form of a direct current (DC) voltage or a rectified alternating current (AC) voltage, and output terminals to be connected to a load circuit containing the at least one LED. The circuit includes a clocked switch and a control circuit for clocking the switch. The control circuit is in the form of an integrated circuit (IC) and is provided with input and output pins. The control circuit generates a clock signal for the switch depending on at least two actual value signals, such that there is a control loop with the manipulated variable “clocking of the switch.

Abstract: A circuit for the power regulation of an LED comprises a converter having a switch. The LED is interconnected in an output circuit, wherein a control unit controls the magnetization of an inductor, in that it actively clocks the switch. A measured actual value representative of the average value of the LED current is returned to the control unit and compared to a reference value.

Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated digital control circuit for an operating device for lamps, comprising: an output for the pulsing of switches of a half-bridge circuit having an adjustable frequency, wherein a load circuit comprising the lighting devices may be connected to the half-bridge circuit, an input, to which a signal may be selectively supplied, said signal reflecting the current through the half-bridge or the current through the lamp. The input is internally branched into two analysis branches, the outputs of which are combined using a logic member, the output of which is connected in turn to a controller for adjusting the frequency of the half-bridge actuating signal.
