Abstract
The invention relates to a chip (1) for use in an operating device for lighting means, wherein the chip (1) is designed to control a processing block (2) of an operating device for lighting means, wherein the chip (1) can control a plurality of different processing blocks (2) which differ in their function, wherein the chip (1) is designed to select on the basis of at least one signal applied to the chip (1) what type of processing block (2) should be controlled.
Claims21
A chip (1) for use in an operating device for lighting means, wherein the chip (1) is configured to control at least one processing block (2) in the operating device for lighting means, and wherein the chip (1) is adapted to control a plurality of different processing blocks (2) which differ in function, and the chip (1) is configured to select on the basis of at least one signal applied to the chip (1) what type of processing block (2) should be controlled;
- wherein the chip (1) has several pins (4, 5) for the output and the reception of signals;
- a control unit (6) is provided in the chip (1) for each processing block (2) of the plurality of different processing blocks (2) differing in their function that can control the chip (1);
- and the chip (1) is configured such that each control unit (6) of the chip (1) can be connected with each pin (4, 5) of the chip (1).
A chip (1) for use in an operating device for lighting means, wherein the chip (1) is configured to control at least one processing block (2) in the operating device for lighting means, and wherein the chip (1) is adapted to control a plurality of different processing blocks (2) which differ in function, and the chip (1) is configured to select on the basis of at least one signal applied to the chip (1) what type of processing block (2) should be controlled;
- wherein the chip has a pin (3), and the pin (3) is used in a programming mode during the production of the operating device for the receipt of a selection signal and is used in normal operation to receive and/or output other signals.
