Electronic driver for controlling an illumination device

An electronic driver for operating an illumination device, comprising:

• a power converter configured to illuminate the illumination device and comprising:
• a first string comprising a plurality of switches operatively coupled to each other in a series configuration;
• a resonant tank circuit operatively coupled to the first string and comprising a resonant inductor and a blocking capacitor operatively coupled to each other in series, wherein the resonant inductor is operatively coupled in series to the first string at a first node;
• a transformer comprising a primary winding and a secondary winding, wherein a first end of the primary winding is operatively coupled in series to the blocking capacitor of the resonant tank circuit;
• a rectifier operatively coupled in series to the secondary winding of the transformer;
• a switch capacitor circuit configured to perform at least one of a pulse width modulation dimming and a visible light communication using the illumination device and comprising:
• a plurality of split capacitors operatively coupled to a second end of the primary winding of the transformer;
• a control switch operatively coupled to the plurality of split capacitors;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the control switch and configured to control the control switch to perform at least one of the pulse width modulation dimming and the visible light communication.
