Abstract
A method of controlling a power supply electrically coupled to a dimmer, the method including receiving a plurality of pulse-width-modulated (PWM) pulses corresponding to one or more dimmer levels of the dimmer, generating a first sample value and a second sample value of a plurality of sample values corresponding to duty cycles of the plurality of PWM pulses, determining a rate of change of the one or more dimmer levels based on the first and second sample values, comparing the rate of change with a threshold value to identify a mode of operation of the power supply, and generating a control signal for transmission to the power supply based on the identified mode of operation.
