Abstract

See full text

Driver circuits to reduce or remove flicker of SSL devices are presented. A controller for a power converter which converts electrical power at an input voltage into electrical power at an output voltage is described. The controller is configured to determine whether the input voltage is greater or smaller than a pre-determined voltage threshold; to operate a first switcher stage to transfer electrical power from the input of the power converter to the output of the power converter, during a first time period when the input voltage is greater than the pre-determined voltage threshold; and to operate a second switcher stage to transfer electrical power from the reservoir capacitor to the output of the power converter, during a second time period when the input voltage is smaller than the pre-determined voltage threshold.
