Fig. 2 A illustrates the circuit diagram according to a kind of back lighting device of the first embodiment of the present invention.See also Fig. 2 A, back lighting device 200A provided by the present invention has comprised light source module 210 and the drive circuit of being made up of driving module 220, transformer 230 and protection module 240.In an embodiment of the present invention, light source module 210 can be made up of 212 series connection of most light-emitting diodes.Utilize transformer 220 that the higher multiplying power of boosting can be provided, and can provide higher driving DC voltage to drive the more light-emitting diode of series connection number.
In detail, the cathode terminal of each light-emitting diode 212 all is coupled to the anode tap of next light-emitting diode 212, and last light-emitting diode 212 then can pass through resistance 272 ground connection.Haveing the knack of this skill person should be known in and light-emitting diode 212 in back lighting device 200A can comprise white light emitting diode, red light-emitting diode, blue light-emitting diode and green light LED.
Please continue to consult Fig. 2 A, transformer 230 has first siding ring 232 and second siding ring 234, and the ratio of the two is 1 to compare n.In the present embodiment, first end of first siding ring 232 is coupled to voltage source V DD, and second end then is coupled to and drives module 220.In addition, first end of second siding ring 234 can be coupled to light source module 210 by a diode 274, for example is coupled to the anode tap of first light-emitting diode 212, and second end of second siding ring 234 then is a ground connection.In preferable situation, diode 274 can utilize Schottky diode to realize.
First end of second siding ring 234 also is coupled to protection module 240 except coupling light source module 210, and by electric capacity 276 ground connection.The output of protection module 240 is then delivered to and is driven module 220, makes the output that drives module 220 meeting foundation protection modules 240 determine whether stopping the electric power of output voltage source VDD to transformer 230.
Drive module 220 can comprise one with door 222 and one nmos pass transistor 224.Wherein, receive the output of pulse-width modulation signal Vpwm and protection module 240 with door 222.In addition, be coupled to the gate terminal of nmos pass transistor 224 with the output of door, and the drain electrode end of nmos pass transistor 224 is coupled to second end of first siding ring 232, and its source terminal ground connection.In an embodiment of the present invention, can also receive a start-up control signal EA (also can be called the mistake reset signal) with door.Start-up control signal EA also exports counter 252, counter 260 simultaneously to and fastens lock device 256, can export the signal of EA=0 before back lighting device 200A starts or when restarting, make nmos pass transistor 224, counter 252, counter 260 and fasten lock device 256 and make zero again, and after back lighting device 200A starts or restarts, EA=1 is to start nmos pass transistor 224, counter 252, counter 260 and to fasten lock device 256.
In the present embodiment, pulse-width modulation signal Vpwm is produced by pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller 280.In addition, the voltage of the node that PWM controller 280 can detecting light source modules 210 couples with resistance 272, the electric current of light source module 210 of flowing through of detecting just.Whereby, pulse-width regulating device 280 just can be controlled the work period of pulse-width modulation signal Vpwm according to the detection signal of light source module 210, makes light source module 210 that stable brightness can be arranged.Certainly, pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller 280 also can produce pulse-width modulation signal Vpwm according to the detection signal (for example: be coupled to detecting voltage module 290) of the voltage of light source module 210.
In detecting voltage module 290, comprised resistance 292 and 294, wherein first end of resistance 292 couples the cathode terminal of diode 274, and is coupled to first end of second siding ring 234 by diode 274.In addition, second end of resistance 292 then is by resistance 294 ground connection, and is coupled to the negative input end of comparator 246 and the positive input terminal of comparator 248.Driving module 220, protection module 240, PWM controller 280 and detecting voltage module 290 can be incorporated in the integrated circuit wafer.Perhaps, detecting voltage module 290 is independent outside the integrated circuit wafer, makes the designer of back lighting device can more freely distribute the ratio of resistance 292 and 294, and more can cooperate various back lighting device.
In addition, the positive input terminal of comparator 246 receives a predeterminated voltage Vr1, and the negative input end of comparator 248 then is to receive predeterminated voltage Vr2.Whereby, comparator 246 just can compare driving voltage VOUT and predeterminated voltage Vr1, and produces a comparative result R1 to counter 250.Similarly, comparator 248 can compare driving voltage VOUT and predeterminated voltage Vr2, and produces comparative result R2 to counter 252.In the present embodiment, comparator 246,248 is respectively to be used for detecting driving voltage VOUT whether low and too high phenomenon took place, so predeterminated voltage Vr1 is less than predeterminated voltage Vr2.
Next the operating process of back lighting device 200A is described.
Back lighting device 200A start initial the time, mistake reset signal EA is high-end trim (being EA=1).For fear of back lighting device 200A of the present invention when the start just, because driving voltage VOUT crosses low and taken place when wrong situation.Therefore, in protection module 240, also dispose counter 260.As back lighting device 200A during in start just, counter 260 will be exported the low level signal of T0=0 and begin counting, and this moment, and counter 250 receives T0=0 low level signals and is disabled state, so the time T1=0.
In addition, counter 252 receives EA=1 and starts, and this moment, so comparator 248 output R2=0 were counter 252 output T2=0 because driving voltage VOUT is lower than predeterminated voltage Vr2.Therefore, or output low level signal behind door 254 reception T1=0 and the T2=0, and fasten that lock device 256 receives EA=1 and after starting, receive or the low level signal of door 254 and also export the low level signal, and through the high levle signal of the anti-phase back output E1=1 of inverter 258.Whereby, in start at back lighting device 200A initial the time, EA=1 and E1=1, will produce the switch that pulse-width modulation signal Vpwm control nmos pass transistor 224 according to PWM controller 280 with door 222, and transformer 230 just can convert voltage source V DD to driving voltage VOUT and comes driving light source module 210.
When timer after first scheduled time of 260 timing to, if EA also maintains the high levle signal of " 1 ", the high levle signal that timer 260 can output T0=1 then.Therefore, timer 250 can begin operation behind the signal of reception T0=1.The 260 first preferable scheduled times of timer are back lighting device 200A general required start-up time of length, enter normal running through light source module 210 after this first scheduled time.So when timer 250 came into operation, detecting voltage module 290 was exported greater than predeterminated voltage Vr1 less than the detection signal voltage of predeterminated voltage Vr2.Output signal R1, the R2 of comparator 246,248 is the low level signal behind the normal operation state so enter, and then the output signal T1 of timer 250,252 and T2 also are the low level signal.Therefore, the normal startup down fastened lock device 256 and keeps output low level signal, and make signal E1 maintain the low level of " 0 ".
Yet, cause driving voltage VOUT low excessively when starting failure or other error conditions, for example, when a user touches second siding ring 234 ends of transformer 230 accidentally, can cause driving voltage VOUT to discharge to formed discharge path between the ground connection by human body.At this moment, driving voltage VOUT can be lower than predeterminated voltage Vr1, and comparator 246 will be exported the output signal R1 of a high levle state to counter 250, makes counter 250 begin counting.
When driving voltage VOUT was lower than predeterminated voltage Vr1 and continues one second Preset Time, the count signal T1 that counter 250 will produce a high-end trim gave or door 254.Whereby, or the door 254 will send exporting to of high levle state fasten the lock device 256.Fasten the output of lock device 256 and pin in the output signal of a high levle state, then by after inverter 258 anti-phase, the rub-out signal E1 that can produce a low-end trim gives and door 222.Whereby, can be so that transistor 224 be closed (turn off), and cause voltage source V DD stop supplies electric power to give transformer 230.And meeting of the present invention is excluded in this low power event, and the user restart back lighting device 200A make wrong reset signal EA=0 and reset with the door 222, counter 252, counter 260 and fasten the lock device 256 after, could continue to provide driving voltage VOUT to light source module 210.
On the other hand, yet, when some error conditions cause driving voltage VOUT too high, protect the comparator 248 of module 240 to detect the too high phenomenon of driving voltage VOUT generation.At this moment, driving voltage VOUT is during greater than predeterminated voltage Vr2, and what comparator 248 can produce the high levle states exports to counter 252, makes counter 252 begin counting.When driving voltage VOUT continued one the 3rd Preset Time greater than predeterminated voltage Vr2, the count signal T2 that counter 252 can produce high levles gave or door 254, and by or door 254 deliver to and fasten lock device 256.Then, fasten the output of lock device 256 and pin in the output signal of a high levle state, again via inverter 254 anti-phase after, the rub-out signal E1 that also can produce a low level state gives and door 222.Therefore, transistor 224 also can present closing state, gives the light source module and cause transformer 230 to be unable to supply driving voltage VOUT.Similarly, the present invention gets rid of in this high voltage incident, and starting back lighting device 200A by the user makes wrong reset signal EA=0 and resets with door 222, counter 252, counter 260 and after fastening lock device 256, could supply driving voltage VOUT again and give light source module 210.
As shown in the above description, when timer 260 after first scheduled time, the function of protection module 240 beginning execute protections.Cross low or the too high voltages phenomenon as long as driving voltage VOUT occurs, 240 controls of protection module are also pinned drive circuit 220 in the state of decommissioning, and make transformer 230 be unable to supply driving voltage VOUT and give the light source module.Unless the user restarts back lighting device 200A, otherwise back lighting device 200A can maintain the state that stops to export, and could normally start back lighting device 200A after this error event is got rid of.
Certainly, the T0 signal of counter 260 of the present invention also can be directly inputted to fastens lock device 256 but not timer 250, so at the signal of T0 after start-up course changes to 1 by 0, fasten lock device 256 and just begin to operate.Similarly, also can avoid back lighting device 200A as before when start just, because driving voltage VOUT crosses low and taken place when wrong situation.
In other selection embodiment, protective circuit of the present invention also can be used on existing known booster circuit except that being used in the back lighting device that boosts with transformer.Fig. 2 B for example, wherein transformer changes inductance 236 into.Detect driving voltage VOUT through protective circuit 240 by detecting voltage module 290; when driving voltage VOUT was too high or too low, counter 252 or 250 will pick up counting, through a scheduled time; this too high or too low voltage status still continues down, the output that will stop and pin driving voltage VOUT.After stopping and pinning the output of driving voltage VOUT, must restart back lighting device 200B again, make the EA signal be 0 low level signal to reset protective circuit and drive circuit, back lighting device 200B is operated again.
In addition, the wrong reset signal EA among the present invention is a control signal that need not stop back lighting device power supply also can the halt system action.Utilize this wrong reset signal EA, remove under back lighting device pins because of error condition, make in order to the replacement back lighting device outside it starts once more, the system that comprises back lighting device can control back lighting device by wrong reset signal EA and start running in appropriate time.So, system can arrange the startup opportunity of other devices in back lighting device and the system and reduce interference each other or reach preferable boot sequence.

Yet different is, in protection module 340, is to adopt the comparator 342 with high magnetic hysteresis to replace comparator 248 among first embodiment.In the present embodiment, comparator 342 equally also is that detection signal and predeterminated voltage Vr2 with driving voltage Vout compares.Yet when detection signal during greater than one of predeterminated voltage Vr2 (comparator 342) hysteresis voltage, comparator 342 can produce the output R3 of high-end trim.Therefore, in the present embodiment, protection module 340 can reduce by a counter.
During a hysteresis voltage, the output R3 that comparator 342 will produce the high levle state gives or door 344 more than driving voltage Vout is greater than predeterminated voltage Vr2.Wherein, or door another input of 344 be to receive the output of fastening lock device 256.Whereby, when comparator 342 produces the output R3 of high-end trim, will by or door 344 be sent to inverter 346, and via inverter 346 anti-phase after, the rub-out signal E2 that can produce a low-end trim gives and door 222.Specifically, because the output of comparator 342 can be via fastening the lock device, therefore as long as make comparator 342 export the output R3 of low level state once again when the voltage of driving voltage Vout is returned to normal condition, back lighting device 300 can reset automatically again, and does not need the user manually to come activation mistake reset signal EA.
