<p>A power converter device for converting power from a mains power supply (201) to power a solid state lighting load (280) includes a converter (230) and a control circuit (350). The converter (230) includes a half-bridge inverter (220) that functions as a boost inverter and output stage inverter, the half-bridge inverter having multiple switches (221, 222). The control circuit (350) is configured to control a mains input current and an output current of the device independently by providing a switching signal (S_HB) to the switches in the half-bridge inverter, where the switching signal has a duty cycle, a frequency and a cycle skipping duty cycle.</p> |
