Microcontroller burst mode to maintain voltage supply during standby mode of a lighting system

摘要

Provided is a lighting system that includes a plurality of lighting elements which emit light, a power supply which supplies power, a lighting driver comprising a microcontroller and which outputs power to the plurality of lighting elements for operation thereof; and a control system which transmits a control signal to the microcontroller to initiate a standby mode of the plurality of lighting elements. The microcontroller receives the control signal and decreases output power supplied to the plurality of lighting elements, while remaining in a low power consumption mode for communicating with the control system during standby mode.

1. A lighting system comprising:
a plurality of lighting elements configured to emit light, a power supply configured to supply power, a lighting driver comprising a microcontroller and configured to output power to the plurality of lighting elements for operation thereof; and a control system configured to transmit a control signal to the microcontroller to initiate a standby mode of the plurality of lighting elements, wherein the microcontroller is configured to receive the control signal and decrease output power supplied to the plurality of lighting elements, wherein the microcontroller is configured to pulsate on and off during receipt of the standby signal for specified periods of time, drawing an increase in power at the microcontroller during the specified periods of time, while remaining in a low power consumption mode for communicating with the control system during standby mode.
