Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of load driving circuits and multi-load feedback circuit, refer to a kind of especially in order to drive the load driving circuits and the multi-load feedback circuit of many string light-emitting diodes.
Background technology
See also Fig. 1, be the known circuit diagram of deciding the led current drive unit of voltage driving mode.The led current drive unit comprises a flow equalizing circuit 10, a light-emitting diode (LED) module 60 and a power supply unit 70.The voltage feedback signal VFB that power supply unit 70 produces by a voltage feedback loop makes output voltage VO UT stable.Light-emitting diode (LED) module 60 comprises a plurality of light emitting diode string, is parallel between power supply unit 70 and the flow equalizing circuit 10.The current mirror that flow equalizing circuit 10 has comprised a current setting resistor 11 and has been made up of a transistor 12 and a plurality of transistor 20.Current setting resistor 11 1 ends couple a voltage VCC, and the other end couples transistor 12 and transistor 12 flowed through one set electric current.Transistor 20 mode one to one connects respective leds string in the light-emitting diode (LED) module 60, and mirror is set electric current with the lumination of light emitting diode of flowing through.So, each light-emitting diode in the light-emitting diode (LED) module 60 is flowed through roughly the same electric current and is made luminosity convergence unanimity.
Because critical voltage (Threshold Voltage) difference between light-emitting diode is not little, make required driving voltage value and inequality under the same current.For instance, suppose to flow through under the electric current of 20mA, single the required driving voltage of light-emitting diode roughly drops on 3.4~3.8V, one band, and each light emitting diode string in the light-emitting diode (LED) module 60 forms by the series connection of 20 light-emitting diode, so the required drive voltage range of light emitting diode string is 68~76V, the driving voltage difference between each light emitting diode string will be born by the transistor switch 20 of correspondence.In addition, transistor switch 20 must be operated at saturation region competence exertion mirror function of current.Therefore, for guaranteeing each light emitting diode string homomergic flow through identical electric current, the output voltage VO UT that power supply unit 70 provides must be higher than high driving voltage, and for example 80V makes transistor switch 20 can guarantee to operate in the saturation region.
Yet in fact the required driving voltage of light emitting diode string is difficult to confirm one by one in advance, so the high driving voltage of light emitting diode string is not necessarily just inevitable up to 76V in the light-emitting diode (LED) module 60.Therefore provide the high driving voltage of crossing of 80V to cause the low of luminous efficiency on the contrary.In addition, arbitrary light-emitting diode in light emitting diode string damaged open circuit and caused light emitting diode string not luminous, some light-emitting diode meeting Zener diode in parallel (Zener Diode), even if make light-emitting diode in parallel damage open circuit, also can pass through Zener diode conducting electric current.The avalanche voltage of Zener diode (breakdown voltage) can be set on the critical voltage of light-emitting diode, for example: 2V, and to avoid the misoperation of Zener diode.In this case,, cause the driving voltage of light emitting diode string up to improve nearly 4V, just might cause the electric current of light emitting diode string to decline to a great extent or even can't be luminous if there are two light-emitting diodes to damage in the light emitting diode string.And if the output voltage VO UT that power supply unit 70 is provided up improves again, but make luminous efficiency more low.

Then, see also Fig. 3, be circuit diagram according to the multi-load feedback circuit of one first embodiment of the present invention.Multi-load feedback circuit 210 comprises a plurality of semiconductor switchs 212 and a decision circuitry 214.Each semiconductor switch 212 all has one first end, one second end and one the 3rd end, and first end couples a common reference potential VREF.Second end is coupled to a plurality of current-sharing terminal DA1~DAn of flow equalizing circuit 220, promptly is couple to a plurality of light emitting diode string in the light-emitting diode (LED) module shown in Figure 2 160.The 3rd end is coupled to each other to produce a detection signal VD to decision circuitry 214.
Flow equalizing circuit 220 comprises a plurality of current-sharings unit 222, and each current-sharing unit 222 comprises a transistor switch SW, a resistance R and an error amplifier EA.Resistance R produces the backward end of a current sense signal to error amplifier EA according to the electric current of flowing through of current-sharing terminal corresponding among current-sharing terminal DA1~DAn.The non-return termination of error amplifier EA is received a current reference signal Vb, and the equivalent impedance of oxide-semiconductor control transistors switch SW in view of the above, makes the level of current sense signal be equal to the level of current reference signal Vb.Therefore, light emitting diode string that current-sharing terminal DA1~DAn the coupled equal electric current of flowing through can be controlled in current-sharing unit 222.
In the present embodiment, each semiconductor switch 212 in the multi-load feedback circuit 210 comprises two MOS field-effect transistors, and the drain electrode of two MOS field-effect transistors electrically is connected to each other and grid is connected to common reference current potential VREF jointly.And one in two source electrodes of two MOS field-effect transistors couple current-sharing terminal corresponding among a plurality of current-sharing terminal DA1~DAn, and another is couple to decision circuitry 214.In addition, the body diode of two MOS field-effect transistors is oppositely each other, is under the state that ends at two MOS field-effect transistors avoiding, and current signal or voltage signal transmit by the body diode of two MOS field-effect transistors.Decision circuitry 214 comprises a comparator, and the end of oppisite phase of comparator receives detection signal VD, and non-oppisite phase end receives common reference current potential VREF, produces feedback signal FB in output.
When arbitrary current potential of a plurality of current-sharing terminal DA1~DAn is lower than common reference current potential VREF one predetermined potential poor (conducting voltage that is semiconductor switch 212 is poor) when above, will make semiconductor switch 212 conductings, otherwise end.That is to say, when semiconductor switch 212 can determine whether conducting according to the current potential of the current-sharing terminal of correspondence or ends, and decide the level of detection signal VD by the current potential of the current-sharing terminal of semiconductor switch 212 correspondences of conducting.Because in the present embodiment, semiconductor switch 212 comprises two MOS field-effect transistors, so the level of detection signal VD is the mean value of current potential of current-sharing terminal of semiconductor switch 212 correspondences of conducting, and it is poor to be lower than at least one predetermined potential of common reference current potential VREF.Therefore, decision circuitry 214 can be exported the feedback signal FB of high level.Power supply unit 170 shown in Figure 2 is when receiving the feedback signal FB of high level, can improve electric power in order to driven for emitting lights diode (led) module 160, just can improve output voltage VO, current-sharing terminal DA1~DAn current potential is improved, FB transfers low level to feedback signal, and promptly current-sharing terminal DA1~DAn current potential all is greater than or equal to common reference current potential VREF.
Therefore, load driving circuits of the present invention can be adjusted the electric power of driven for emitting lights diode (led) module 160 according to the signal of multi-load feedback circuit, make the current potential of each current-sharing terminal all be greater than or equal to a predetermined current potential, but when the current potential of the current-sharing terminal of potential minimum all is greater than or equal to a predetermined current potential, load driving circuits just no longer promotes the electric power of driven for emitting lights diode (led) module 160, make the current potential and the potential difference between ground connection of current-sharing terminal unlikely too high, therefore and the efficient of holding circuit in higher level.
