  • Patent number: 10834794
    Abstract: An LED lighting device according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an LED array; a first control unit for controlling the dimming of the LED array; a second control unit for transmitting, to the first control unit, a dimming control signal for controlling the dimming of the LED array; and a transformer comprising a primary coil and a secondary coil spaced apart from each other, wherein the first control unit is connected to the primary coil, the second control unit is connected to the secondary coil, the primary coil and the secondary coil are insulated from each other, the transformer transmits a pulse signal that repeats on/off at predetermined intervals from the first control unit to the second control unit, and, when the pulse signal transmitted from the first control unit to the second control unit via the transformer becomes off, the dimming control signal is transmitted from the second control unit to the first control unit via the transformer and is used to control the dimming of t

  • Patent number: 8686645
    Abstract: Disclosed is an LED protection circuit using a one-shot vibrator. The LED protection circuit includes an LED module; an LED load-open detection circuit for detecting a voltage applied to the LED module to vary a reference potential; a latch circuit for maintaining a latch state according to the reference potential of the LED load-open detection circuit; a current limit circuit for receiving an output signal from the latch circuit to output a first signal; an LED load connection detection circuit for varying the reference potential through the first signal to output a second signal; a trigger input circuit connected to the LED load connection detection circuit for outputting a third signal using the second signal; and a one-shot vibrator for outputting a fourth signal of a square waveform during a predetermined time when the third signal is input.
