20090195190 | Systems and Methods for Powering a Light Emitting Diode Lamp - In one embodiment, the present invention includes an electronic circuit for providing a power current to an LED lamp. The electronic circuit comprises a logic drive circuit, a VCO, a power switch, and a first current sensor. The VCO is coupled to provide a first logic control signal to the logic drive circuit. The power switch has a first terminal and second terminal coupled to deliver the power current to the LED lamp and a control terminal coupled to receive a power control signal from the logic drive circuit. The first current sensor is coupled to sense a peak current passing through the power switch and coupled to provide a second logic control signal to the logic drive circuit. | 08-06-2009 |
20090190377 | Systems and Methods for DC to DC Conversion with Current Mode Control - In one embodiment the present invention includes a DC to DC converter device which includes an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit comprises a first comparator, a second comparator, a first switch, a first latch, and a current sensor. The inductor current includes a peak current value and a valley current value. The first comparator detects the peak current value and resets the first latch which opens the first switch. The second comparator detects the valley current value and sets the first latch which closes the first switch. The current sensor is coupled to sense an inductor current flowing through an output load, and is coupled to provide a sense voltage to the first and second comparators. In this manner, the electronic circuit provides DC to DC conversion with current control. | 07-30-2009 |
