Abstract:
An electronic ballast for operating at least one first cascade of LEDs may include an input for coupling to an AC supply voltage, a rectifier that is coupled to the input, wherein the rectifier has an output having a first and a second output connection, a first unit that includes the first cascade of LEDs, wherein the first unit is coupled to the first output connection of the rectifier, a series circuit including an inphase regulator and a shunt resistor, wherein the series circuit is coupled between the first unit and the second output connection of the rectifier, a setpoint value prescribing apparatus for the inphase regulator having an output that is coupled thereto, wherein the setpoint value prescribing apparatus provides a first setpoint value element at its output, and a second setpoint value element—superimposed on the first setpoint value element—for the inphase regulator.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting control information from a control apparatus to an operating device for a light-emitting means may include a) modulating control information onto a supply line by means of the control apparatus during a modulation phase, wherein a switchable shunt of the device is connected between the first and second supply connections; b) decoding the control information in a decoder of the device; b1) activating the demodulation by the decoder when the absolute value for the voltage at the two supply connections falls below a first threshold value; and c) actuating a converter of the operating device in accordance with the decoded control information.

Abstract:
Various embodiments may relate to an electronic ballast for operating at least a first and a second cascade of LEDs, wherein the first cascade of LEDs is designed in such a way that the first cascade of LEDs is not be bridged. In order to provide a target value for a series regulator arranged in series with the LED cascades, a resistance voltage divider is used, which is coupled between the coupling point of the LED cascade that is not bridged and of the LED cascade that is not bridged at one end and the second output connection of the rectifier at the other end.
