Patent attributes
A protection system for an LED driver includes a voltage rail, an input voltage source, and a surge protector connected between the input voltage source and the voltage rail. The voltage change sensing block detects a change in a voltage associated with the input voltage source. The protection system further includes a voltage sensing block connected to the voltage change sensor. A half-bridge switching circuit may include a switch controller, a first switching element, and a second switching element. The switch controller controls an operating state of each of the first switching element and the second switching element. A reset block disables at least one of the switch controller, the first sensing element, and the second switching element, responsive to a control signal associated with at least one of the voltage change sensing block and the voltage sensing block.
