Patent ID: 8669707

Claim:
An electronic control gear for operating at least one of at least one light emitting diode and at least one discharge lamp, electronic control gear comprising: a first terminal for coupling to a phase of an AC voltage supply; a second terminal for coupling to the neutral conductor of the AC voltage supply; a control input for coupling in a control signal of a control apparatus, which for its part is coupled to a phase of the AC voltage supply; a first output for coupling to the at least one light emitting diode; a second output for coupling to the at least one discharge lamp; a first driver circuit for the at least one light emitting diode; a second driver circuit for the at least one discharge lamp; an evaluation apparatus for evaluating the control signal at the control input, the evaluation apparatus comprising a microcontroller, which is coupled to the first and the second driver circuit in order to activate said driver circuits depending on the control signal, the microcontroller having a drive input which can be coupled to the control input; wherein a first capacitance is coupled between the second terminal and the control input.
