Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems to provide compatibility between a load and a secondary winding of an electronic transformer driven by a leading-edge dimmer may include: (a) responsive to determining that energy is available from the electronic transformer, drawing a requested amount of power from the electronic transformer thus transferring energy from the electronic transformer to an energy storage device in accordance with the requested amount of power; and (b) transferring energy from the energy storage device to the load at a rate such that a voltage of the energy storage device is regulated within a predetermined voltage range.
