摘要: In one aspect, a device is adapted to transmitting power to, or receive power from, a remote device over first and second communication lines (DALI+, DALI−) and to communicate with the remote device over the first and second communication lines. A first driver implements a first communications protocol which comprises coupling the first and second communication lines together to encode a first signal level and isolating the first and second communication lines from each other to encode a second signal level. This may be a DALI protocol. A second driver implements a second communications protocol which comprises modulating the first communication line with a signal having a low modulation depth. The second communications protocol means there is always a voltage difference between the two communication lines to enable continuous power harvesting. A second aspect relates to efficient power transfer by disabling a current limiter function, when possible.

摘要: In order to provide a balance between a fast start-up in start-up phase and a low light output ripple in normal operation phase, it is provided a LED driving circuit comprising: an input to receive a LED driving current, a buffer circuit adapted to buffer said LED driving current, and an output to be connected to LED and adapted to output the LED driving current, after buffered, to the LED, characterized in that, further comprises a buffer adjustment circuit adapted to adjust the buffer capability of the buffer circuit at a first level, in a start-up phase of the LED driving circuit when the LED driving circuit starts to receive said LED driving current, and adjust the buffer capability of the buffer circuit at a second level larger than the first level in a normal operation phase later than the start-up phase.
