Abstract:
The invention relates to an intelligent PFC module comprising an actively clocked PFC circuit and a control unit which controls the actively clocked PFC circuit in discontinuous current mode (DCM), a system with an intelligent PFC module of said type, and at least one converter stage for the operation of an LED array, lighting devices with a PFC module of said type, and a system and method for the operation of a PFC module and system of said type.

Claim (Index 18):
The method for the operation of a system ( 101 ) with a PFC module ( 102 ), preferably a PFC module ( 102 ) according to  claim 1 , comprising an actively clocked PFC circuit ( 104 ) with at least one first switch (S 1 ) and an integrated circuit ( 103 ), preferably a microcontroller, and at least a converter stage ( 105 ) with at least a second switch (S 2 ) for the operation of an LED array ( 106 ) with one or more LEDs,\n wherein the at least one converter stage ( 105 ) is connected directly or indirectly to the PFC circuit ( 104 ), wherein the integrated circuit ( 103 ) controls the at least one first switch (S 1 ) of the actively clocked PFC circuit ( 104 ) in discontinuous current mode (DCM), wherein the integrated circuit ( 103 ) controls the actively clocked PFC circuit ( 104 ) and the at least one converter stage ( 105 ) dependent on the input voltage conditions and/or on the load conditions, and wherein the integrated circuit ( 103 ) controls the at least one second switch (S 2 ) of the at least one converter stage ( 105 ) for the setting of the light output emitted by the LED array ( 106 ).
