Applications of halogen convertor control IC

摘要

The functionality of electronic convertors for low voltage filament lamp applications, such as halogen lamps, can be increased by including auxiliary circuits. Such auxiliary circuits may include gate drive resistors; a charge pump for sustaining the DC supply; open circuit protection; short circuit protection; thermal protection; extended resetting time; latched shutdown; self-dimming; a digital (DALI) interface; and line voltage compensation.
