Noise reduction circuit for matrix LED driver
A noise reduction circuit for a matrix LED driver includes a pseudo random number generator, an up counter, a clock module, and a plurality of matrix switch controllers. The matrix switch controllers and the up counter randomly change a power-on sequence applied across matrix switches in the matrix LED driver according to working random numbers generated by the pseudo random number generator. The circuit prevents jitter-induced noise from periodically reoccurring at the power source of the matrix LED driver, thereby reducing noise energy.
Pixel diagnostics with a bypass mode
A LED controller includes an image buffer to hold image data. An LED pixel forming a part of a large pixel array is activatable in response to image data, LDO state, and pulse width modulation module state. A logic module including a pixel diagnostic mode using an LDO bypass is connected to modify LDO state and allow direct addressing of the LED pixel for diagnostic purposes without needing to use image data from the image buffer.

Lighting apparatus
A lighting apparatus includes a power circuit, multiple light sources, a power failure detection circuit, a wall switch decoder and a controller. The power circuit converts an external power source to multiple driving currents. The multiple light sources respectively receive the multiple driving currents to generate a required mixed light. The power failure detection circuit is coupled to the power circuit for detecting a predetermined power failure pattern. When the predetermined power failure pattern is detected, the power failure detection circuit generates a failure signal. The wall switch decoder is coupled to a wall switch via a signal wire for converting a manual operation to a corresponding switch parameter. The failure signal activates a mode switch in the controller to select a working mode. The switch parameter is interpreted with different setting instructions under different working modes.

EMERGENCY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR STARTING LED LAMP TUBES WITH LEAKAGE PROTECTION
An emergency output circuit for starting LED lamp tubes with leakage protection comprises a PWM pulse generator provided with a PWM chip. When a control terminal detects a power outage, a high level is instantly output to the PWM chip, and the PWM pulse generator outputs complementary drive PWM rectangular waves with a controllable dead time, which are boosted and filtered into a 250V DC voltage; then, positive and negative alternating square waves are formed through a full-bridge inverter circuit, and two pairs of MOS transistors are turned on alternately through complementary PWM control to generate an AC voltage UAB on an LED lamp tube; and finally, an AC rectangular wave slowly changing into a stable 135V AC output from a 250V DC output is obtained through a correction circuit to replace existing methods to turn on the LED tube, thus effectively simplifying the circuit.
