Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010112237A1] The invention relates to a driver circuit for an LED, comprising a connection for a mains voltage, a rectifier (GR1), a filter circuit (L1), an inductor(L2), and a switch (S1), wherein the inductor (L2) is magnetized when the switch(S1) is closed, and the inductor (L2) is demagnetized when theswitch (S1) is opened, and the current feeds the LED through theinductor (L2) at least during the phase of the demagnetization,wherein the switch (S1) is always opened only when the current through theswitch (S1) has reached a specified threshold, and thespecified threshold depends on the present amplitude of thesupply voltage Vin.
