Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the configuration diagram of the embodiment of the invention one light-emitting diode assembly 20.The framework of light-emitting diode assembly 20 and running are partly similar with light-emitting diode assembly 10, so identical assembly and the signal of purposes represented with same-sign.Light-emitting diode assembly 20 has and various structure with main different being in central short circuit circuit for detecting 206 and short circuit circuit for detecting 106 of light-emitting diode assembly 10.Will explain that below short circuit circuit for detecting 206 can be used to carry out the short circuit detecting of light emitting diode, but can not cause light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 to receive high pressure and damage.
In detail, short circuit circuit for detecting 206 includes a bleeder circuit 208, a voltage throttle circuit (voltage clamp circuit) 210 and one comparer 212.In other words, short circuit circuit for detecting 206 is that with the main difference of known short circuit circuit for detecting 106 short circuit circuit for detecting 206 is extra bleeder circuit 208 and voltage throttle circuit 210 of having set up.In addition, short circuit circuit for detecting 206 is can part (as shown in Figure 2) or all be integrated in the light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 with LED driving circuit 102.
Bleeder circuit 208 can produce the branch pressure voltage Vd less than bottom voltage Vbtm according to the bottom voltage Vbtm of light emitting diode serial C1.In Fig. 2, bleeder circuit 208 is to illustrate the outside that is arranged at light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 for the outside part that partly is arranged at light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202.So in other embodiment, bleeder circuit 208 can all be arranged at the outside of light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202, or all is arranged at the inside of light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202.
210 of voltage throttle circuit can be used to suppress branch pressure voltage Vd.Under preferable situation, voltage throttle circuit 210 is to make branch pressure voltage Vd be no more than light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 can stand the maximum voltage that does not burn out, i.e. withstand voltage; Under the situation of Yu Gengjia, voltage throttle circuit 210 is to make branch pressure voltage Vd be no more than the low operating voltage Vlp of (promptly being less than or equal to) light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 itself.Comparer 212 can be with a branch pressure voltage Vd and a reference voltage Vref ' compare; And in branch pressure voltage Vd greater than reference voltage Vref ' time; Judge that light emitting diode serial C1 is short-circuited, and then control LED driving circuit 104 is closed corresponding drive current.Similarly, reference voltage Vref can be designed to be no more than withstand voltage, and preferable situation is for being no more than low operating voltage Vlp.
In a specific embodiment, voltage throttle circuit 21 is according to accurate its pressing function that starts in the position of branch pressure voltage Vd.Particularly, the accurate pressing function that is not enough to trigger voltage throttle circuit 210 in the position of branch pressure voltage Vd does not take place or short circuit generation but drive current when not closing as yet when short circuit.Right close and cause voltage Vbtm too high arrival one certain bits in bottom certainly when (it is about a scope) when short circuit generation and drive current; Voltage throttle circuit 210 begins to suppress branch pressure voltage Vd so that it almost is maintained this certain bits standard, and this certain bits will definitely be designed to be no more than withstand voltage or low operating voltage Vlp.As a result, branch pressure voltage Vd can be when not being short-circuited and be short-circuited, neither withstand voltage or the low operating voltage Vlp of surpassing.
More than comprehensive, the high pressure that directly receives bottom voltage Vbtm when bleeder circuit 208 can be avoided the short circuit detecting gets into light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 inside.In addition, 210 of voltage throttle circuit can be closed and when causing bottom voltage Vbtm to rise compacting branch pressure voltage Vd in short circuit generation, drive current.Through the Collaboration of bleeder circuit 208 and voltage throttle circuit 210, can avoid light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 directly to receive high pressure and damage.
In Fig. 2, both implementations of bleeder circuit 208 and voltage throttle circuit 210 are neither to be limited to certain architectures and operation.There is the circuit of all different structures all can realize bleeder circuit 208 and voltage throttle circuit 210.Below will utilize Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 to illustrate the bleeder circuit 208 of different embodiment and the thin portion structure and the operation of voltage throttle circuit 210.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is a thin portion circuit diagram of light-emitting diode assembly 20 among Fig. 2.As shown in Figure 3, bleeder circuit 208 includes one first resistance R ext and the one second resistance R d that is coupled.Receive bottom voltage Vbtm through the first resistance R ext; Again through second resistance R d output less than the branch pressure voltage Vd (being Vbtm*Rd/ (Rext+Rd)) of bottom voltage Vbtm to the inner comparer 106 of light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202, comparer 106 can compare judging whether and be short-circuited.Thus, when short circuit was detected, what get into light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 inside was that the branch pressure voltage Vd of low level gained falls in bottom voltage Vbtm through dividing potential drop, but not is the high levels of bottom voltage Vbtm at short circuit circuit for detecting 206.The resistance ratio of the first resistance R ext and the second resistance R d, the position that for example can be depending on the branch pressure voltage Vd that is wished to get is accurate.For example, the resistance of the first resistance R ext can be greater than the resistance of the second resistance R d, in order to do effectively to carry out step-down.In addition, it should be noted that under preferable situation that the first resistance R ext and the second resistance R d can be arranged at outside and inner (as shown in the figure) of light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 respectively.In other embodiment, both all are positioned at the outside or inner of light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 also can to design the first resistance R ext and the second resistance R d.
On the other hand, voltage throttle circuit 210 includes a unity gain buffer (unit gain buffer) 302 and one compacting diode 304.Unity gain buffer 302, it has first input end and is coupled to a compacting voltage Vcl, and has second input end and an output terminal couples each other mutually, and an output voltage V o who is used to keep its output terminal is in the position of this compacting voltage Vcl certainly.In addition, compacting diode 304 (being the PN junction rectifier for example), it is coupled between the output terminal and this branch pressure voltage Vd of unity gain buffer 302, and then being used for when conducting, keeping its cross-pressure is a forward voltage Vc (Vc for example is about 0.7V).Therefore; When short circuit generation, drive current are closed and to cause bottom voltage Vbtm to rise to the high pressure position of booster voltage Vbst accurate (behind about 20V~40V); Branch pressure voltage Vd can rise and let compacting diode 304 conductings and have the cross-pressure that is almost fixing forward voltage Vc; Unit of fit gain buffer 302 is kept the accurate position standard for compacting voltage Vcl of output voltage V o simultaneously; As a result branch pressure voltage Vd can be maintained at compacting voltage Vcl and forward voltage Vc's and the position certainly, i.e. Vd=Vo+Vc=Vcl+Vc.In other words, the certain bits with described in the explanation that promptly equals Fig. 2 of the compacting voltage Vcl of Fig. 3 and forward voltage Vc is accurate, and it can be designed to be less than or equal to the withstand voltage or the low operating voltage Vlp of light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202.As a result, cause bottom voltage Vbtm to rise too high even be short-circuited, the branch pressure voltage Vd that light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 received still is no more than withstand voltage or low operating voltage Vlp and can burn.Must notice that in other embodiment, voltage throttle circuit 210 for example can be embodied as the PN junction rectifier of a plurality of polyphones, even other impedance component like resistance and so on of arranging in pairs or groups.
For instance, suppose that low operating voltage Vlp is 3.3V, can design the first resistance R ext resistance and be 1M nurse difficult to understand, the second resistance R d resistance is a 180k nurse difficult to understand, reference voltage Vref ' be 1.2V, suppress voltage Vcl and be 1.6V and booster voltage Vbst is 40V.Therefore; As the bottom of light emitting diode serial C1 voltage Vbtm during greater than 7.9V; Branch pressure voltage Vd is greater than reference voltage Vref ' 1.2V; Comparer 212 can judge that light emitting diode serial C1 is short-circuited, and controls LED driving circuit 104 and close the drive current of light emitting diode serial C1, and then causes bottom voltage Vbtm to continue to rise to the 40V of booster voltage Vbst.At this moment, through the running of voltage throttle circuit 210, can with branch pressure voltage Vd be compressed to compacting voltage Vcl and forward voltage Vc and, i.e. 2.3V (less than the 3.3V of low operating voltage Vlp).Compare, if no-voltage throttle circuit 210, then branch pressure voltage Vd can rise to 6.1V and much larger than the 3.3V of low operating voltage Vlp.Therefore, light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 can be avoided damaging because of short circuit circuit for detecting 206 receives high pressure.
Please refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is a circuit diagram of an alternate embodiment of light-emitting diode assembly 20 among Fig. 2.The difference of Fig. 4 and Fig. 3 mainly is the inner structure of voltage throttle circuit 210.As shown in Figure 4, voltage throttle circuit 210 can realize by special (Schottky) diode 402 of a Xiao Ji.When short circuit generation, drive current are closed and when causing suppressing branch pressure voltage Vd and rising too high, special diode 402 collapses (breakdown) of contrary inclined to one side Xiao Ji, and its cross-pressure can almost be maintained a fixing disruptive voltage Vbr.In other words, it is accurate that disruptive voltage Vbr promptly equals the described certain bits of Fig. 2, and it also is no more than the withstand voltage or the low operating voltage Vlp (such as 5V) of light emitting diode chip for driving 202.As a result, cause bottom voltage Vbtm to rise too high even be short-circuited, the branch pressure voltage Vd that light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 received still is no more than withstand voltage or low operating voltage Vlp and can burn.Must notice that in other embodiment, voltage throttle circuit 210 for example can be embodied as the special diode of Xiao Ji of a plurality of polyphones, or single or a plurality of along inclined to one side PN junction rectifier, or even other impedance component like resistance and so on of arranging in pairs or groups.On the other hand, the bleeder circuit 208 of this figure is identical with person shown in Figure 3, and the circuit structure shown in so being not limited to is as long as can reach the branch compression functions.
It should be noted that in Fig. 2 bleeder circuit 208 and voltage throttle circuit 210 are to carry out the running of dividing potential drop and voltage compacting respectively, both implementations are not limited to ad hoc rules.Those of ordinary skills work as and can modify according to this or change, and are not limited to Fig. 3 and thin portion structure and operation shown in Figure 4.
In addition, also it is noted that similar with Fig. 1, Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 is for only illustrate single light emitting diode serial, single throttle circuit, single bleeder circuit, single comparer and single driving circuit respectively for simplicity.In fact, light-emitting diode assembly 10 can comprise one to multiple group light emitting diode serial, one or more throttle circuit, one or more bleeder circuit, one or more comparer, and one or more driving circuit.Each group light emitting diode serial all comprises one or more light emitting diode serial; And drive by corresponding driving circuit in the light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202, and carry out the short circuit detecting by corresponding bleeder circuit, throttle circuit and comparer.The framework of thin portion is same as described above with operation, repeats no more in this.
The short circuit detecting operation of short circuit circuit for detecting 206 can reduce short circuit detecting flow process 50, and shown in the embodiment of Fig. 5, it comprises following steps:
Step 500: beginning.
Step 502:, produce branch pressure voltage Vd less than bottom voltage Vbtm according to the bottom voltage Vbtm of light emitting diode serial C1.
Step 504: compacting branch pressure voltage Vd, so that it is no more than withstand voltage or low operating voltage Vlp.
Step 506: compare a branch pressure voltage Vd and a reference voltage Vref ', whether be short-circuited to decide light emitting diode serial C1 according to comparative result.
Step 508: finish.
Wherein the details of each step can be analogized and got by the operation of the corresponding assembly of short circuit circuit for detecting 206, does not give unnecessary details in addition at this.
The foregoing description does not directly receive high pressure and changes and adopt lower branch pressure voltage and do short circuit detecting, and more suppresses for branch pressure voltage, and the chip in the time of therefore can avoiding the short circuit detecting damages problem.In detail, at first produce less than the branch pressure voltage Vd of bottom voltage Vbtm and according to this branch pressure voltage Vd and carry out the short circuit detecting, therefore can avoid the high pressure of bottom voltage Vbtm directly to get into light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202 inside.In addition; More suppress withstand voltage or the low operating voltage Vlp less than chip in the inner branch pressure voltage Vd of light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip 202; Even if therefore short circuit generation, drive current is closed and cause bottom voltage Vbtm to rise too high, branch pressure voltage Vd still is maintained low pressure.Damage problem when as a result, the light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip can be avoided the short circuit detecting.
Comprehensively above-mentioned, under the requirement of the trend of present system combination chip and high operating speed, the light-emitting diodes pipe driving chip is integrated with the image processing interlock circuit and makes with the low pressure processing procedure.Yet the problem that high pressure entering chip internal causes the chip damage takes place because of direct reception bottom voltage Vbtm carries out the short circuit detecting in known technology.In comparison; The foregoing description does not directly receive high pressure and changes and adopt branch pressure voltage and do short circuit detecting; And more suppress for branch pressure voltage, cause chip to burn so can avoid high pressure to get into chip, thereby can cooperate the technology trends of low pressure processing procedure single-chip.
The above is merely the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all equalizations of doing according to claim of the present invention change and modify, and all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
