Abstract
A driving circuit for a solid state lighting apparatus includes a full wave rectifier configured to rectify an alternating current (AC) input voltage signal to generate a rectified input signal, a boost conversion circuit configured to receive the rectified input signal and responsively generate a direct current (DC) output voltage signal and to supply the output voltage signal to a solid state light source, and a boost control circuit coupled to the boost conversion circuit and configured to cause the boost conversion circuit to operate in a constant power mode.
