  • Patent number: 11310894
    Abstract: A driver comprises a controller coupled with a LED, and an interface circuit configured to be coupled between the controller and an external device. The interface circuit comprises an interface port configured to be coupled to the external device, an analog interface module, a digital interface module and a power supply module. The analog interface module is coupled between the interface port and the controller and configured to transmit an analog signal therebetween the external device and the controller in a first mode. The digital interface module is coupled between the interface port and the controller and configured to transmit a digital signal between the external device and the controller in a second mode and a third mode. The power supply module is coupled to the interface port and configured to provide energy to the external device in the first mode and the third mode.

  • Patent number: 9668307
    Abstract: A lighting device includes a first LED light source having a first color temperature, a second LED light source having a second, lower color temperature connected in parallel with the first LED light source, and control circuitry operable to apply variable duty cycle frequency modulated power to the first LED light source while continuous power is provided to the second LED light source. A method of operating a lighting device includes providing variable duty cycle frequency modulated power to a first LED light source having a first color temperature, and providing continuous power to a second LED light source having a second, lower color temperature connected in parallel with the first LED light source.
