Zusammenfassung:	An illumination device is provided. The illumination device includes a light emitting source and a clamped series resonant converter (CSRC) coupled thereto. The CSRC includes a first rectifier to generate a direct current (DC) using an alternating current (AC) voltage. The CSRC further includes an inverter having a switching leg including a plurality of switches coupled in series and a diode leg having a plurality of diodes coupled in series. The diode leg is coupled in parallel with the switching leg. Furthermore, the inverter includes an inductor coupled to the switching leg and a capacitor coupled to the diode leg. The CSRC also includes a transformer coupled to the inverter, where a voltage developed across a primary winding of the transformer causes automatic power factor correction by drawing an input current flowing through the CSRC that is proportional to the AC voltage.
