Abstract:
A circuit arrangement for feeding a load, which is equipped withinput terminals for connection to a supply voltage source, a power converter for generating a current through the load from a supply voltage supplied by the supply voltage source, a control circuit for controlling the rms value of an operating parameter to achieve a desired rms value comprising a first circuit for generating a first signal that is a measure of the rms value of the operating parameter, a second circuit for generating a second signal that is a measure of the desired rms value of the operating parameter, a third circuit that is coupled to the first and the second circuit for generating a third signal that is dependent on the first and the second signal, and for influencing the operating state of the circuit arrangement in dependence on the third signal, characterized in that the first circuit is equipped with a fourth circuit for generating a fourth signal that is a measure of the average value of the operating parameter, a fifth circuit for generating a fifth signal that is a measure of the maximum amplitude of the operating parameter, a sixth circuit for generating a signal that is a linear combination of the third signal and the fourth signal.
