Abstract (en)

A driver device, for example a flyback converter device, comprises a primary circuit including a controlled switch. The primary circuit is supplied by a mains supply voltage. The driver device further comprises a secondary circuit for providing a load current to a load, for example to a light emitting device. An isolation stage of the driver device includes a transformer with a primary winding and a secondary winding. The isolation stage is configured to isolate the primary circuit on a primary side and the secondary circuit on a secondary side by an isolation barrier. The driver device further comprises a control circuit arranged on the secondary side. The transformer comprises an additional secondary winding arranged in phase with the primary winding on the secondary side. The control circuit is configured to determine presence and/or a value of the mains supply voltage for a time in which the controlled switch is conducting based on a voltage signal provided by the additional secondary winding.
