Abstract:
Self-identifying solid-state transducer (SST) modules and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, for example, an SST system can include a driver and at least one SST module electrically coupled to the driver. Each SST module can include an SST and a sense resistor. The sense resistors of each SST module can have at least substantially similar resistance values. The SSTs of the SST modules can be coupled in parallel across an SST channel to the driver, and the sense resistors of the SST modules can be coupled in parallel across a sense channel to the driver. The driver can be configured to measure a sense resistance across the sense resistors and deliver a current across the SSTs based on the sense resistance.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of forming a solid-state transducer (SST) system, comprising:\n electrically coupling at least one SST module to a driver having an SST channel and a sense channel, wherein each of the at least one SST modules comprises at least one SST and at least one sense resistor, and wherein electrically coupling the at least one SST module to the driver comprises\u2014\n coupling each of the SSTs to the SST channel in a first parallel circuit, and \n coupling each of the sense resistors to the sense channel in a second parallel circuit; \n electrically coupling a supplemental resistor to the second parallel circuit such that the supplemental resistor is coupled in parallel with each of the sense resistors, wherein the supplemental resistor is not part of an SST module; detecting a sense resistance across the sense channel; providing a current to the SSTs in the first parallel circuit via the SST channel, wherein the current is based on the sense resistance; monitoring emission outputs from the SSTs; and modulating the supplemental resistor in response to determining that the emission outputs are sufficiently different from a predetermined emission output.
