Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method. The method includes detecting a dimming characteristic in an energy source that provides energy to be transferred to a load via a magnetic component, receiving a dimming control signal, and controlling a switch in connection with the magnetic component based on the dimming characteristic and the dimming control signal to transfer energy to the load via the magnetic component.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: detecting a dimming characteristic in an energy source that provides energy to be transferred to a load via a magnetic component; receiving a dimming control signal; entering a control mode to control a switch in connection with the magnetic component; and determining control parameters for the control mode to transfer energy to the load via the magnetic component, wherein determining the control parameters further comprises: det…
