  • Patent number: 11909300
    Abstract: A switch-mode power supply (SMPS), an SMPS system and a power supply method for an SMPS system are disclosed. The SMPS controller includes an output-voltage power supply unit, a built-in energy storage unit and a logic control unit. The output-voltage power supply unit is configured to charge the built-in energy storage unit using an output voltage from the SMPS system so that the built-in energy storage unit can provide an operating voltage for the logic control unit. The use of a stand-off energy storage capacitor can be dispensed with, and the use of the output voltage as a power supply is enabled. As a result, significant reductions in overall and standby power dissipation are achieved. In addition, the SMPS controller may further include a high-voltage power supply unit, which provides a hybrid power supply solution, together with the output-voltage power supply unit.

  • Patent number: 9271347
    Abstract: A TRIAC dimmable light-emitting diode (LED) driver circuit is disclosed, compromising: An alternating-current (AC) voltage connected to a rectifier bridge; An LED load, which is connected to an inductor or a transformer, a power MOS transistor, a low voltage MOS transistor and a current sensing resistor. The LED driver also compromises: a peak current comparator which is used to compare the voltage between a current sensing resistor and a reference voltage; a maximum on-time timer, which is used to detect the on time of the low voltage MOS transistor. When the voltage on the current sensing resistor is higher than the reference voltage or the on time of the low voltage MOS transistor reaches the preset time of the maximum on-time timer, the low voltage MOS transistor is turned off.

  • Patent number: 9107260
    Abstract: A current ripple canceling light-emitting diode (LED) driver is disclosed. The input current source contains a current ripple. The LED load is connected to the drain of a power switch. The source of the power switch is connected to a current sensing resistor. The gate of the power switch is connected to the output of an operational amplifier. The operational amplifier compares the voltage signal across the current sensing resistor with a dynamic reference voltage. The dynamic reference voltage is adjusted according to the gate or drain voltage of the power switch. The LED load current is controlled to be a nearly no ripple DC current.

  • Publication number: 20140111093
    Abstract: An average linear light-emitting diode (LED) driver circuit is disclosed. An inputting alternating-current (AC) voltage is connected to a rectifier bridge. An LED load is paralleled with a filtering capacitor and connected to a power switch. A compensation network and a voltage feedback network are included. When the output voltage of the rectifier bridge is higher than the voltage of the filtering capacitor, the drain voltage of the power switch is increased. The voltage feedback network decreases or turns off the current in the power switch. The compensation network controls the average current in the power switch to be equal to the desired LED load current. The average linear LED driver circuit intelligently controls the driver current, reduces the system power loss and increases the system efficiency. The LED driver maintains high conversion efficiency, especially under wide input voltage conditions.
