Fig. 8 shows that LED removes another embodiment of flashing circuit 120; The output generation circuit 123 of Fig. 4 embodies with latch circuit 1232 in the present embodiment; This latch circuit 1232 for example can be but is not limited to D type flip-flop; It is judging that signal enables to store work input signal Duty-IN down, and the output of latch circuit 1232 is then as this work output signal Duty-OUT.Though latch circuit 1232 is similar with connected mode with the structure of latch circuit 121; But effect is different; Latch circuit 121 is in order to store work input signal Duty-IN as fiducial value; 1232 of latch circuits are that to select output signal in order to control be present work input signal Duty-IN, or remain work output signal Duty-OUT originally.
Decision circuitry 122 can use processor collocation software to reach, and also available hardware is reached.Fig. 9 explains the hardware embodiment of decision circuitry 122, and decision circuitry 122 comprises absolute difference circuit 124 and magnetic hysteresis critical value comparison circuit 125 in the present embodiment, and absolute difference circuit 124 receives:
(1) work input signal Duty-IN, with
(2) (a) work output signal Duty-OUT or (b) and the signal DT0 of this work output signal Duty-OUT equal value,
And produce an absolute difference signal DIF according to both differences of (one) (two); Magnetic hysteresis critical value comparison circuit 125 is this absolute difference signal DIF and this magnetic hysteresis critical value HYS relatively, and should judge signal according to the comparative result generation.Wherein, magnetic hysteresis critical value comparison circuit 125 for example can be but is not limited to the comparator 125 (comparator 125 can be hysteresis comparator or general comparator) of Figure 10.
Figure 11 shows the hardware embodiment of absolute difference circuit 124; Absolute difference circuit 124 comprises comparator 1241 (comparator 1241 can be hysteresis comparator or general comparator), selects circuit 1242 and subtraction circuit 1243, wherein comparator 1241 more above-mentioned () (two) two signals in the present embodiment; Select the comparative result of circuit 1242, and decision is with the anode of what person's input subtraction circuit 1243 in (one) (two) two signals, the negative terminal of another person's input subtraction circuit 1243 according to comparator 1241; The output of subtraction circuit 1243 is said absolute difference signal DIF.
Figure 12 shows the embodiment more specifically of absolute difference circuit 124.Shown in figure 12; Select to comprise first selector 1244, second selector 1245 in the circuit 1242; As work input signal Duty-IN during greater than work output signal Duty-OUT; The output of comparator 1241 makes first selector 1244 select work input signal Duty-IN and second selector 1245 selects work output signal Duty-OUT as output signal, when work input signal Duty-IN then opposite during less than work output signal Duty-OUT.Subtraction circuit 1243 comprises inverter 1246 and adder 1248; The output signal of second selector 1245 by the output signal addition of adder 1248 with first selector 1244, will produce the absolute difference signal DIF of work input signal Duty-IN and work output signal Duty-OUT through inverter 1246 backs.
Figure 13 shows another embodiment of output generation circuit 123; The output generation circuit 123 of Fig. 4 is in the present embodiment with counter 1233 embodiments up and down; This up-down counter 1233 is judging that signal enables down; Output according to comparator 1241 is counted up and down, and its output is as work output signal Duty-OUT.Under the arrangement mode of present embodiment; When work input signal Duty-IN acute variation; Work output signal Duty-OUT will progressively change and can immediate response, so can make the unlikely variation of brightness of led circuit 4 too violent, and its signal changes for example maybe be as follows:
Time Duty-IN Fiducial value Change Duty-OUT
T0 196 196 n/a 196
T1 205 196 9 197
T2 205 197 8 198
T3 205 198 7 199
