20150028768 | COMPENSATING FOR A REVERSE RECOVERY TIME PERIOD OF A BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR (BJT) IN SWITCH-MODE OPERATION OF A LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED)-BASED BULB - A turn-off transition time period, also referred to as a reverse recovery time period, may be compensated for by a controller of a power stage including a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The reverse recovery time period may be measured in one switching cycle and a subsequent switching cycle may include compensations based on the measured reverse recovery time period. That is the switching on and off of the BJT may be compensated to obtain a desired average output current to a load. When the reverse recovery time period is known, an error in the peak current obtained due to the reverse recovery time period may be calculated. The calculated error may be used to offset the target peak current for controlling the switching of the BJT to begin a turn-off transition of the BJT earlier in a switching cycle and thus reduce error in peak current at the BJT. | 01-29-2015 |
