  • Lighting control system and method for generating supply currents for LED channels
    Patent number: 10143047
    Abstract: A lighting control system (LCS) for generating supply currents for at least two LED channels (CH1, CH2, CHn) comprises at least two controlled current sources for generating a supply current for a corresponding LED channel based on a corresponding control signal. The system further comprises at least two signal combiners for generating the corresponding control signals based on a synchronization signal (VSYNC) that comprises periodic starting pulses and on a combination of a magnitude dimming signal and a pulse dimming signal corresponding to one of the LED channels. The signal combiners are designed such that changes of the respective control signals come into effect only with a respective time offset with respect to one of the starting pulses of the synchronization signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Photodiode and production method
    Patent number: 9018726
    Abstract: The photodiode has a p-type doped region (2) and an n-type doped region (3) in a semiconductor body (1), and a pn junction (4) between the p-type doped region and the n-type doped region. The semiconductor body has a cavity (5) such that the pn junction (4) has a distance (d) of at most 30 ?m from the bottom of the cavity (7).
