摘要： Methods and apparatus for simulating resistive loads, and facilitating series, parallel, and/or series-parallel connections of multiple loads to draw operating power. Current-to-voltage characteristics of loads are altered in a predetermined manner so as to facilitate a predictable and/or desirable behavior of multiple loads drawing power from a power source. Exemplary loads include LED-based light sources and LED-based lighting units. Altered current-to-voltage characteristics may cause a load to appear as a substantially linear or resistive element to the power source, at least over some operating range. In connections of multiple such loads, the voltage across each load is relatively more predictable. In one example, a series connection of multiple loads with altered current-to-voltage characteristics may be operated from a line voltage without requiring a transformer.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for providing and controlling power to loads including one or more LEDs. In one example, a controlled predetermined power is provided to a load without requiring any feedback information from the load (i.e., without monitoring a load voltage and/or load current). In another example, a “feed-forward” power driver for an LED-based light source combines the functionality of a DC-DC converter and a light source controller, and is configured to control the intensity of light generated by the light source based on modulating the average power delivered to the light source in a given time period, without monitoring and/or regulating the voltage or current provided to the light source. In various examples, significantly streamlined circuits having fewer components, higher overall power efficiencies, and smaller space requirements are realized. Based on various power driver configurations, lighting apparatus incorporating one or more power drivers for one or more LED-based loads may be implemented, and multiple such lighting apparatus may be coupled together to form a lighting network in which operating power is efficiently provided throughout the network.

摘要： Multiple lighting apparatus coupled together to form a lighting network, in which operating power is efficiently provided throughout the network based on a distributed DC voltage or a distributed AC voltage. Based on various power driver configurations, each lighting apparatus incorporates one or more power drivers for one or more LED-based loads. In one example, a controlled predetermined power is provided to a load without requiring any feedback information from the load (i.e., without monitoring a load voltage and/or load current). In another example, a “feed-forward” power driver for an LED-based light sources combines the functionality of a DC-DC converter and a light source controller, and is configured to control the intensity of light generated by the light source based on modulating the average power delivered to the light source in a given time period, without monitoring and/or regulating the voltage or current provided to the light source. In various examples, significantly streamlined circuits having fewer components, higher overall power efficiencies, and smaller space requirements are realized.

摘要： A switching power supply is modified to mitigate potentially adverse effects of near zero loads on power delivery. In one example, a processor-controlled dummy load is coupled to the power supply output in addition to an actual load. The dummy load is controlled so that at least some minimal load is presented to the power supply when the actual load is drawing low or near zero power. In another example, the feedback loop of the switching power supply is modified to mitigate the effects of a potential overvoltage condition in a bias supply from which the switch controller of the power supply draws power, which condition may occur at low or near zero load power. A lighting system may include a switching power supply thusly modified to provide power to a variable load that includes one or more LED-based lighting apparatus.

摘要： Power factor correction control methods and apparatus based on knowing in advance some information relating to anticipated load conditions (e.g., a desired power to be provided to a load). Based on “feeding-forward” known information about anticipated load conditions, power factor correction control loop response is significantly improved, particularly in situations in which the load power traverses a wide range in a short time period (e.g., load full off to load full on, or vice versa). As a result of improved control loop stability, smaller circuit components may be employed based on more predictable expectations for signal values, thereby reducing the cost and/or size of the implemented circuits. In one example, a processor controls both a feed-forward power factor correction apparatus and a feed-forward power driver for an LED-based light source to provide an efficient source of radiation using significantly streamlined circuits having fewer components and smaller space requirements.
