Abstract:
Programmable drivers (or power supplies) for solid state light sources are disclosed, on which output regulation is improved to expand the dimming range to 1% and reduce and/or remove flicker. Additional fault conditions are set up to avoid latching, and thus provide for a controllable restart feature. Such drivers include an isolated half bridge resonant converter with an improved control approach designed to regulate very low current though primary side in a feed-forward loop. Such drivers include both digital and analog loops that improve the performance in steady state and/or during transients, particularly for a lighting load, in comparison to a single full digital control.

Claim (Index 1):
A regulation circuit comprising:\n a forward loop connectable to a primary side of a transformer, the forward loop sampling a load current at the primary side of a transformer as a half waveform proportional to the load current, the forward loop providing a first output connectable to a controller configured to regulate a solid state driver; and a feedback loop connectable to a secondary side of a transformer, the feedback loop providing a second output connectable to a controller configured to regulate the solid state driver.
