Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for controlling a compensation circuit. In embodiments, a detection circuit receives a set of control signals that have been generated by a control circuit to drive a set of light emitting diode (LED) switches. The switches control a set of LEDs driven by a DC-DC converter that is coupled to a feedback loop to which the compensation circuit is removably coupled. In embodiments, the detection circuit determines whether the status of an LED is about to change and, in response, uses the compensation circuit to control the feedback loop in a manner such as to reduce a current overshoot or current undershoot in the LED current.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for operating DC-DC regulators such as LED drivers. Various embodiments herein allow a DC-DC regulator to switch between buck mode and buck-boost mode without suffering effects otherwise resulting from transient currents when switching between modes. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by operating the DC-DC regulator in a buck-boost mode to charge a boost capacitor with a substantially constant inductor current. The inductor current is also used to control a set of switches to operate the DC-DC regulator in a buck mode to drive a load by using the capacitor as a power source.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provides a driver circuit that provides for power factor correction (PFC) to a load, such as a solid-state lighting (SSL) device, such as, for example, a light emitting diode (LED) or an array or cluster of LEDs. A programmable reference is provided in the circuit to operate in a fixed frequency peak current mode control (FFPCMC) or in a fixed frequency average current mode control (FFACMC). A driver circuit is employed to operate the SSL device using power derived from a main power source which may be DC or AC. In a FFPCMC embodiment, a programmable power reference is programmed to be a fixed DC voltage. In a FFACMC embodiment, source input current to the circuit can be programmed to be proportional to the rectified AC voltage after a bridge rectifier.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments for systems and methods LED driver. In one or more embodiments, the LED driver may operate in a boost mode to charge a capacitor using a power source or in a boost mode to use the charged capacitor to provide current to a load, such as an LED string. In one or more embodiments, the LED driver uses a single inductor for boost mode operation or buck mode operation. Such embodiments simplify the LED driver and therefore provide an economic advantage. In one or more embodiments, the power source is disconnected in the buck mode, such that the capacitor may be discharged to a low voltage. Therefore, the capacitor may need smaller capacitance to deliver the same discharge energy which otherwise requires a capacitor with larger capacitance.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for generating short load current pulses using an H-bridge. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by controlling, in a shunting mode, a low-side switch of the H-bridge to drive a first average current and controlling, in a non-shunting mode, a high-side switch of the H-bridge to drive a second average current such that the first and second average currents are substantially the same and reduce a current pulse width of the load current.

Abstract: A new architecture for buck LED drivers and buck DC-DC converters is disclosed for providing response to both line and loads. The architecture uses a new average current mode control scheme that does not use an error amplifier to regulate the current in the inductor in the buck converter. Even though there is no oscillator the switching frequency remains constant over line and load. The architecture provides a low cost solution with very fast response times.

The switch is controlled by a first signal having a first frequency. The driver circuit controls brightness of the light emitting diodes based on a second signal including a plurality of pulses. The modulator circuit modulates the first signal using a direct sequence spread spectrum modulation. The direct sequence spread spectrum modulation uses a sequence generated based on the first signal. The reset circuit resets the modulator circuit at each of the plurality of pulses of the second signal. The modulator circuit repeats the sequence at each of the plurality of pulses of the second signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light emitting diode (“LED”) illumination system, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods of driving a LED module by a current generator that is powered and controlled by a regulated dc voltage associated with a brightness level. Such a dimmable LED illumination system is compatible with both a high-voltage ac signal coupled from any wall outlet and a low-voltage ac signal provided by an electronic transformer. A diode bridge rectifies the ac signal to a rectified ac signal, and a LED driver generates the LED current from the rectified ac signal and drives the LED to the brightness level. Within the LED driver, the level of the LED current is determined from a boost voltage that is substantially a regulated dc voltage generated from the rectified ac signal.

Abstract: Presented are average current mode control systems and methods for driving a load with a constant current. In embodiments, this is accomplished when, in response to a zero-current detection circuit detecting a zero current condition in the load current, a compensation circuit is disconnected from a first error amplifier to enable that error amplifier to provide a first voltage to a second error amplifier. The second error amplifier increases a charging current in a capacitor to reduce a dead time in the load current. Similarly, in response to an overcurrent detection circuit detecting an overcurrent condition in the load current, the compensation circuit is disconnected from the first error amplifier to enable the first error amplifier to provide a second voltage to the second error amplifier to decrease the charging current and reduce an overshoot condition.
