A dimmable LED driver for visible light communication (VLC) based on LLC resonant DC-DC converter operating in burst mode
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The main focus of this work is the integration of the communication and power management functions of a 80W smart LED module. The luminair provides high-efficiency programmable ambient lighting and can also act as a networked sensor node to gather a variety of local measurements, which leads to improved safety, comfort and efficiency in future lighting systems. A dimmable LED driver based on the LLC resonant dc-dc converter topology is proposed to implement an emerging communication scheme, Visible Light Communication (VLC). VLC capitalizes on the high switching-speed of LEDs and offers several compelling advantages over conventional RF and wired communication schemes. The digitally controlled LLC converter operates in constant-current burst mode, where the burst is sequenced to independently control the dimming and transmission the data using the Variable Pulse Position Modulation (VPPM) protocol. A receiver circuit is designed to demodulate and decode the visible light signal. The 50 kb/s system is successfully demonstrated on a 308 LED Luminair with a digitally controlled LLC dc-dc converter.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
