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.'

Circuit for the operation of at least one LED

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.

Power regulation of LED by means of an average value of the LED current and bidirectional counter

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.

Digital control circuit of an operating device for lamps

A control circuit for an operating device for lighting devices, wherein a return signal is supplied to an input of the control circuit by the lighting device, and the control circuit has an error detection block that recognizes at least two different types of lighting device errors by means of the return signal applied at said input.

Error detector in an operating device for lighting devices

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 an open-loop control circuit for clocking the switch. The open-loop control circuit is in the form of an integrated circuit (IC) and is provided with input and output pins. The open-loop 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.'
