Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to integrated circuit, relate in particular to a kind of electric ballast and control method thereof for the control load circuit of fluorescent lamp.
Background technology
As everyone knows, electric ballast is a kind of equipment for the normal startup of control fluorescent lamp and steady operation, generally, the schematic diagram of electronic ballast control driving load circuit of fluorescent lamp work can be as shown in Figure 1, electric ballast 10 ' comprises main control module 1 ' (being the electric ballast chip), the first power switch pipe M1, the second power switch pipe M2 and afterflow capacitor C 2, load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 comprises inductance L, the first capacitance C1, the second capacitance C3 and fluorescent tube equivalent resistance Rlamp, main control module 1 ' output one high control signal HO and a low control signal LO drives the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2 alternate conduction with control; Electric ballast when work, the oscillogram of the voltage VA at the level VHO of high control signal HO, the level VLO of low control signal LO and A point place as shown in Figure 2:
(1) when level VHO be high level, when level VLO is low level, the first power switch pipe M1 conducting, the second power switch pipe M2 closes, this moment, power Vcc was powered to load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 by the first power switch pipe M1, and the voltage at afterflow capacitor C 2 two ends is high level;
(2) when level VHO by high step-down, when level VLO does not also uprise, the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2 all close, afterflow capacitor C 2 is by the loop discharge of the second capacitance C3-inductance L-(the first capacitance C1, fluorescent tube equivalent resistance Rlamp), until level VLO uprises;
(3) when level VHO be low level, when level VLO was high level, the first power switch pipe M1 closed, the second power switch pipe M2 conducting, this moment, the flow direction of electric current was that earth terminal charges to the second capacitance C3 via load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2, and the voltage at afterflow capacitor C 2 two ends is low level;
(4) when level VLO by high step-down, when level VHO does not also uprise, the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2 all close, electric current charges to afterflow capacitor C 2 by the loop of (the first capacitance C1, fluorescent tube equivalent resistance Rlamp)-inductance L-second capacitance C3, until level VHO uprises.
When level VHO and level VLO are low level simultaneously; this section period is called Dead Time (Tdeadtime); the effect of Dead Time is to guarantee that level VHO and level VLO can not be high level simultaneously; because if such situation occurs; simultaneously conducting of the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2; have huge current flow by the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2; cause the heating of the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2; thereby affect its useful life; even burn out; therefore, obviously, Dead Time is a kind of necessary means of protective circuit.
Usually the size of Dead Time is determined by main control module 1 ' internal circuit, in the situation that fixing Dead Time, the electric speed of afterflow capacitor C 2 different putting (filling) can produce different impacts to circuit.Fig. 3 is the each point change in voltage schematic diagram in the different velocity of discharge situations of afterflow capacitor C 2:
(1) velocity of discharge is slower: voltage VA is along the trail change of curve A, and high level appears in VLO when level, and during the second power switch pipe M2 conducting, voltage VA is non-vanishing, at this moment, has larger electric current to flow through the second power switch pipe M2;
(2) velocity of discharge is moderate: voltage VA is along the trail change of curve B, and high level appears in VLO when level, during the second power switch pipe M2 conducting, the lucky vanishing of voltage VA, be ZVS (zero voltage switch) state, at this moment, do not have in theory electric current to flow through the second power switch pipe M2;
(3) velocity of discharge is very fast: voltage VA is along the trail change of curve C, and high level appears in VLO when level, during the second power switch pipe M2 conducting, voltage VA before be zero sometime, also be the ZVS state, at this moment, also do not have in theory electric current to flow through the second power switch pipe M2;
(4) process of charging and the similar process of discharge are therefore no longer repeat.
Obviously, in the above-mentioned situation (1), because in one-period, large electric current be will occur and the first power switch pipe M1 or the second power switch pipe M2 flow through, this moment, the first power switch pipe M1, the second power switch pipe M2 were very easy to the heating damage, therefore, did not wish to occur this situation.In actual applications, the size of afterflow capacitor C 2, inductance L, the first capacitance C1, the second capacitance C3 and fluorescent tube equivalent resistance Rlamp all can exert an influence to (filling) the electric speed of putting of afterflow capacitor C 2, therefore, suppose that the parameter of choosing these elements is desired value.
As shown in Figure 1, through the second capacitance C3, B point place forms alternating voltage, can know from classical Circuit theory, by inductance L, the first capacitance C1, the AC power of 2 pairs of certain frequencies of load circuit of fluorescent lamp that fluorescent tube equivalent resistance Rlamp consists of has reactance of different nature, can be divided into induction reactance, capacitive reactance and impedance three types, this reactance characteristic is by inductance L, the first capacitance C1, the size of fluorescent tube equivalent resistance Rlamp and the frequency of AC power determine jointly, the reactance characteristic of load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 is different, then also different on the impact of putting (filling) electric speed of afterflow capacitor C 2, Fig. 4 is the phase diagram of the each point voltage and current under the different reactance characteristic of load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2:
Present perception as example take load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2, can be known by classical Circuit theory, the electric current I B and the B point voltage VB of place that are flowed into load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 by B point place among Fig. 1 incite somebody to action not homophase, its current phase will lag behind voltage-phase, namely in Tdeadtime, electric current I B will be later than voltage VB and descend; Because level VHO, VLO are low level simultaneously at this moment, the first power switch pipe M1, the second power switch pipe M2 close simultaneously, and the alternating current that actual flow is crossed B point place is provided by afterflow capacitor C 2.
According to formula:
(1), as can be known,
The current value i that afterflow capacitor C 2 provides
2Larger, variation (decline) speed of afterflow capacitor C 2 both end voltage
Also faster, namely voltage change ratio is larger;
Again according to formula: Q=C
2Δ V
A(2), as can be known,
It is larger that holding circuit is stablized required electric weight Q, variation (decline) the amount Δ V of afterflow capacitor C 2 both end voltage
AAlso larger.
In like manner can get, in the moment that Tdeadtime begins, electric current I B perception>IB is resistive>the IB capacitive; According to formula (1) as can be known, under the different imaginary loading states, the velocity magnitude ordering that afterflow capacitor C 2 both end voltage descend is at this moment:
Be that afterflow capacitor C 2 both end voltage under the inductive load state descend the fastest.
By classical Circuit theory as can be known, electric current is electric weight to the integration of time, is expressed as the area that shade covers in Fig. 4, therefore as can be known, at Tdeadtime in the time period, the required electric weight of the required electric weight>capacitive load of the required electric weight>resistive load of inductive load; According to formula (2) as can be known, the variation delta V of afterflow capacitor C 2 both end voltage
The A perception>Δ V
A is resistive>Δ V
The A capacitive
In view of the foregoing, can draw to draw a conclusion for different reactance characteristic loads:
(1) when load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 presents induction reactance character, B point place current waveform lags behind voltage waveform, and namely electric current I B will be later than voltage VB decline; The A point voltage VA of place decrease speed is the fastest, and variable quantity is also maximum;
(2) when load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 presents resistance, B point place voltage and current homophase; The A point voltage VA of place decrease speed is slower, and variable quantity is also less;
(3) when load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 presents capacitive reactance, B point place current waveform is ahead of voltage waveform, and namely electric current I B will descend early than voltage VB; A point place voltage drop speed is the slowest, and variable quantity is also minimum.
In sum, when load circuit of fluorescent lamp 2 presented the induction reactance characteristic, the voltage drop at the mid point A place of the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2 was fastest.Therefore, how to strengthen load circuit of fluorescent lamp induction reactance characteristic, to guarantee that the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2 (being the half-bridge drive circuit power switch pipe) work in the ZVS state in Dead Time, thereby avoid the first power switch pipe M1 and the second power switch pipe M2 heating to damage, become the problem of insider's primary study.
