The switches of the half bridge can be transistors, e.g. FETs or MOSFETs . - From a midpoint between the half bridge switches HS, LS an LLC series is connected with capacity Cr followed by an inductivity Lr (forming a resonant LC circuit) and the primary side inductivity Lm of the transformer.
- On the secondary side, the secondary side inductivity Lt of the transformer is shown connected to diodes Dl and D2 providing a DC LED current ILED to the lighting means, in this case the LED. The LED current ILED is shunt to ground via shunt resistor Rsns.
- In an example not forming part of the present disclosure, other constructions and functions of these parts may be similar to those in the related art, and more details shall not be described herein any further.
- As can be seen from the above examples, an adjustment signal is detected and processed by a first controller on a primary side, and the processed adjustment signal is transmitted to a second controller on a secondary side via an isolator. Thus, the quality of the adjustment signal is ensured in the transmission, and the output state of the power supply may be adjusted accurately by the second controller on the secondary side. Furthermore, no additional circuit for translating and encoding or decoding signals is needed.
- Generally, while operations are depicted in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Likewise, while several specific implementation details are contained in the above discussions, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the present disclosure, but rather as descriptions of features that may be specific to particular embodiments. Certain features that are described in the context of separate embodiments may also be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single embodiment may also be implemented in multiple embodiments separately or in any suitable sub-combination.
