POWER INTERFACE FOR A POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

摘要

A parallel resonant converter is operated directly from rectified mains. The single-stage power supply copes with present dimmers (such as leading edge dimmers and trailing edge dimmers) and meets EMC standards. The operating scheme allows avoiding exciting 100/120 Hz flicker without using an electrolytic capacitor. This is possible during both full operation and dimmed operation. Deep dimming down to less than 5% is possible and does not require extra power components.
