Abstract:
A modular system includes an LED driver, including a switched mode power converter configured to output a supply current and a first control unit configured to control a switch of the switched mode power converter, and a light engine, including an LED assembly configured to receive the supply current, the LED assembly including a plurality of LEDs and one or more switches arranged in series or in parallel with one or more LEDs of the plurality of LEDs, and a second control unit configured to control the one or more switches of the LED assembly. The first control unit is configured to control an amplitude of the supply current. The second control unit is configured to control a duty cycle of the LED current through the plurality of LEDs.

Claim (Index 35):
An LED driver comprising:\n a switched mode power converter configured to output a supply current for powering an LED assembly; and a control unit configured to control a switch of the switched mode power converter, thereby controlling the supply current; wherein the control unit is further configured to: receive, at an input terminal of the control unit, LED assembly information describing the LED assembly to be powered; receive, at the input terminal, a set point representing a desired illumination characteristic to be generated, during use, by the LED assembly; determine, based on the received set point, a current amplitude modulation scheme and a duty cycle modulation scheme; and output a first output signal representative of the duty cycle modulation scheme for processing by an LED assembly control unit of the LED assembly that is to be powered; wherein the current amplitude modulation scheme represents an amplitude of the supply current to be provided by the LED driver as a function of time within a modulation time window and the duty cycle modulation scheme represents switching operations for the LED assembly as a function of time within the modulation time window; and wherein the current amplitude modulation scheme and the duty cycle modulation scheme are configured to, when applied by the LED assembly control unit and the control unit, to generate the desired illumination characteristic.
