LINEAR DRIVING MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18078347 titled 'LINEAR DRIVING MODULE
Simplified Explanation
The linear driving module described in the patent application includes a control circuit, a dimming module, and a low-dropout regulator. The control circuit generates switch signals in response to changes in a pulsed DC voltage, while the dimming module receives the pulsed DC voltage and includes dimming units with LED units that can be in a light-on or light-off state. The low-dropout regulator converts the input voltage from the dimming unit into a regulated voltage, which varies with the number of LED units in the light-on state.
- Control circuit generates switch signals in response to changes in pulsed DC voltage
- Dimming module receives pulsed DC voltage and includes dimming units with LED units in light-on or light-off state
- Low-dropout regulator converts input voltage from dimming unit into regulated voltage
- Regulated voltage varies with number of LED units in light-on state
- Input voltage is lower than pulsed DC voltage, and regulated voltage is lower than input voltage

Original Abstract Submitted
A linear driving module includes: a control circuit, a dimming module, and a low-dropout regulator. The control circuit generates switch signals in response to a change in a pulsed DC voltage. The dimming module receives the pulsed DC voltage. The dimming module includes dimming units. Light-emitting diode units in the dimming units are in a light-on state or a light-off state. The low-dropout regulator receives an input voltage from the dimming unit, and converts the input voltage into a regulated voltage. The input voltage varies with the number of light-emitting diode units in the light-on state. The input voltage is lower than the pulsed DC voltage, and the regulated voltage is lower than the input voltage.
