Abstract

An LED converter (3) comprises a converter circuit (11) with potential separation (12). The converter circuit (11) has at least one controllable switching means (15). A control device (16) for switching the at least one controllable switching means (15) in a clocked manner is configured to modulate a switching frequency of the at least one controllable switching means (15) in order to transmit information across a potential barrier (12).
