Abstract

An electronic driver for a lightsource comprising a power factor correction working in critical conduction mode. The circuit includes an inductor L1, a diode D1, a switch Q3 and a controller 24. An input voltage Vin is applied to the inductor L1 which is cyclically discharged through the diode D1 by the operation of the switch Q3. The switch Q3 is controlled by the controller 24 which varies the on period of the switch Q3 during which the inductor is charged, for adjusting the output voltage Vbus towards a target value Vbus target- The controller 24 receives, and is responsive to, an indication of the inductor L1 reaching a discharged state when the switch is in an off state. The controller 24 adjusts the target voltage value Vbus target in dependence upon an indication of the ratio of the off period of the switch to the on period of the switch. The target voltage Vbus target is increased in response to an increase in the input voltage Vin that might otherwise cause instability, so that the input voltage at which instability occurred is increased.
