Background technology
Due to the fast development on solid state illumination technology, light emitting diode (LEDs) in liquid crystal display, label and leads to With obtaining extensive use in illumination.Compared with existing common light emitting source (such as incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp), due in the absence of lamp The High-Field sputtering of silk, LEDs have the relatively long working life of 80,000-100,000 hour.LEDs on the market Now with less glass capsulation, this cause for operator their reliability and security be improved significantly.By Can safely it be disposed in its life-span end in without poisonous mercury, LED.Other such as flicker frees, smooth light modulation, low pressure Work and colour rendering well wait advantageous refinements to cause LED to turn into an emerging technology, and it in the near future can be in illumination city Main status is occupied on.
Optical-electronic-heat (PET) theory of broad sense is pointed out, compared with single-chip high power designs, uses low-power chip Device level multi-chip design has effect higher and the more low advantageous refinements of junction temperature.Similarly, on a system level, with system power Identical is compared by the high-capacity LED s of the negligible amounts integrated systems formed, point based on the relatively low LED of multiple power Cloth LED information display system has the advantages of similar.Due to the equipment and its luminous intensity and the forward current of application that LED is electric current driving It is directly related, therefore when driving multiple LED, cascaded structure is better than parallel-connection structure, because all LED in Series lamp string can To be worked under same current, and current sharing and chromaticity variation issue is not present.However, the LED quantity being connected in series is very Limited in big degree by the output low pressure that power supply provides, thus the LED string of parallel connection especially suitable for high power applications (i.e. >25W).Due to LED manufacturing tolerance, aging and temperature change, this parallel connection LED lamp string structure can trigger current unbalance problem, So as to cause luminous intensity and color change.In addition, when using parallel connection LED lamp string in the case of no current composite device, Even if the average current of each LED string is less than rated current, some or multiple LED strings may also exceed its maximum absolute amount Determine electric current.

Embodiment
Before the embodiments of the invention are explained in detail, it should be recognized that application of the invention is not limited to propose in description below Or the CONSTRUCTED SPECIFICATION shown in accompanying drawing.The present invention can have other embodiments, and can be practiced or carried out in a variety of ways. It will also be appreciated that term used herein and term are descriptive, it is not construed as restricted.
The invention provides a kind of driver for parallel connection LED lamp string, and it has " public " for all LED strings Primary, voltage source (Vm) and for each LED string (S1, S2..Sn) to carry out the separate subordinate voltage source (Vs1- of current regulation Vsn), as shown in Figure 2 a.Referring to Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b, the most of of power consumed in each lamp string is presented by " master " voltage source (Vm) Send, and the electric current that corresponding dependent voltage source (Vs1, Vs2 ... Vsn) is used to adjust in each LED string (S1, S2 ... Sn) is so as to electricity Mobile equilibrium.To avoid bigger power consumption, all main DC sources and subordinate DC source should be the converter of switching mode.This is for tool It is very important to have for the LED of wide device parameter tolerance.For example, under 45mA, the forward voltage meeting of 8 LED strings Change between 21.9V-31.7V.If using linear current regulators, the linear current of the minimum lamp string of forward voltage is adjusted The pressure drop of section device both sides will be up to 9.8V, and in the case where forward current is larger, the power consumption on current regulator is unacceptable 's.For example, typical 0.3A lamp string electric current will cause about 3W power consumption in each lamp string.Driven according to the LED proposed Device structure, it can be established as pressing between the main sources of the public 20V of all 8 lamp strings and covering parallel connection LED lamp string in each lamp string The independent low pressure dependent voltage source of difference.Therefore, most of power is provided by main source, and only dump power is carried by corresponding subordinate source For.
There can be multiple layouts independently exported using various in the present invention.However, for business application, drive Dynamic device should preferably meet following technical requirements:
1) it is electrically isolated:Need to be electrically isolated between main source and subordinate source, because their terminal can not share identical and connect Ground.However, it need not be electrically isolated between subordinate source.
2) adjusted output:The voltage at LED string both ends should be adjusted to adapt to different forward current and environment temperature Degree.It is therefore preferable that multiple outputs through independence and accurate adjustment;
3) modularization:It is this to be laid out what is preferably easily extended, therefore preferred module formula mode.
4) power distribution:Most LED power should be provided by main source, and dump power is provided by subordinate source.The circuit Embodiment should realize this power distribution.
Based on these considerations, the first embodiment of LED driver layout is shown in Fig. 3, it has magnetic amplifier (mag- Amp) rear class adjuster.Magnetic amplifier rear class regulator layout has high efficiency high, stability, power density height, control simple The features such as low with electromagnetic interference.It should be noted, however, that based on power semiconductor switch (such as MOSFET rather than magnetic amplifier) Standard switch-mode power governor can be used for the subordinate rear class adjuster in Fig. 3.Only need two secondary of transformer Winding Ns1 and Ns2 exports to generate multiple (two or more).One secondary windings Ns1 output is used for main source Vm, and it is by first The PWM controls of power converter on level side.Another secondary windings Ns2 output is used by detecting LED forward current bases Multiple subordinate source Vs1, Vs2 ..., Vsn (Fig. 3 are generated in independent transductor regulator Lm1, Lm2 with backfeed loop v1, v2 In two subordinate sources are only shown, source but more can be used for more LED strings).It is worth noting that, the present invention Two advantages of structure are:First, it is only necessary to which two secondary windings generate multiple outputs, so as to forming more simple transformation Device structure, lower production cost and less leakage inductance;Secondly, each transductor regulator Lm1, Lm2 are only used for handling Fraction power on each LED string, therefore the size of magnetic amplifier core is much smaller and its power consumption is relatively low.
Transductor regulator provides power regulation functions for the Partial Power on each LED string.If lamp string electric current Io1 More than reference current Iref, then the magnetic amplifier inductance Lm1 blocking duration will be increased by adjusting the output of reset circuit Add so that Vs1 declines and Io1 accordingly reduces to meet Iref.As shown in Figure 3, it can be seen that the work(provided for each LED string Rate is made up of two parts, i.e., main source and independent subordinate source.If the forward voltage drop of LED string is constant, in main source and subordinate Countless distributed combination between source be present.Therefore, how qualitative analysis is found to optimal distribution herein.
A. power distribution
First, under all working state, the voltage in main source have to be lower than all forward voltage drops of LED string, because main Source should provide the overwhelming majority (but not all) of the power of all LED strings, i.e. Vm<Vled_min.Subordinate source be able to should adjust LED string both end voltage part is saved to adjust their forward current.
Secondly, main source is lower, and subordinate source is then higher, because their summation should be equal to the voltage at whole LED string both ends. In extreme circumstances, if main source voltage is zero, the circuit reduction proposed into routine the converter with multiple outputs, In this case, each LED string is powered by single source completely.Two shortcomings in the extreme case be present.In each source The voltage stress of commutation diode will significantly increase, it is therefore necessary to use the of a relatively high high-voltage diode of pressure drop.Second Shortcoming is to need bigger output filter inductance to meet output current ripple requirement in each source.In addition, magnetic is put Power consumption on big device will increase, because it must block the sufficiently high voltage for whole LED string.In the present invention, Common power source provides mains voltage for all LED strings.Therefore, can be that subordinate source selects such as Schottky diodes Power diode with low rated voltage and low forward voltage drop, and smaller output filter inductance.
In this analysis, it is assumed that all LED strings share same current and have identical forward voltage drop VF, and all lamps The summation of string electric current is IF.All output filter inductive currents are assumed with identical ripple current factor gamma.For each For LED string is provided the occasion of power by single source completely, the output filter inductance needed in each output is:
Wherein D be secondary windings in voltage pulse duty cycle, Ts be secondary windings in voltage pulse switch periods, n For the quantity of LED string.For convenience, in formula (1)Value be defined as α.
Then for the driver proposed, the output filter inductance required by main source is
Output filter inductance required by each subordinate source is:
Then curves of the Lf to Vm can be obtained, as shown in Figure 4.If loading has three LED strings, i.e. n=3, if Determine Vm=0.9VF (i.e. shared power source provides the 90% of output voltage), then a pass is needed in the driver proposed In the inductance that Vm is 0.3 α, and three on inductance that Vs1-Vs3 is respectively 0.1 α.
Core on magnetic amplifier core, which damages, is:
Pcore=(9.93 × 10-6)·(f1.57)·(B1.70) (4)
Equation (4) shows that core damage is directly proportional to magnetic flux density.In our proposal, the subordinate source of magnetic amplifier core is used Voltage be far below LED string both ends whole voltage.Therefore, equation (4) is theoretically confirmed in this suggestion, magnetic amplifier Power consumption decrease.
B. light-dimming method
Traditionally there are two kinds of light regulating technologies for being used to drive LED:Amplitude mode and PWM mode.However, PWM dims method Preferably received in performance application (such as showing panel), because LED levels of current and thus colour temperature can be with It is kept, and amplitude mode is then received by common public illumination application.
In the present invention, light modulation can be realized by traditional PWM scheme and phase-shifting PWM (PSPWM) scheme.Fig. 5 is (only Two LED strings are shown) in show the circuit diagram of the LED driver system with traditional PWM dimming functions proposed, its Middle Rs1 and Rs2 are respectively LED string S1 and S2 current sense resistor, and Q is PWM dimmer switch, and the circuit in dotted line square frame is The reset circuit of magnetic amplifier.Method is dimmed different from the traditional PWM being used together with linear current regulators, in the suggestion, All LED strings only need a MOSFET (dimmer switch), and it does not work in linear impedance area, but in saturation region work Make.Therefore, the conductance power consumption in the dimming process can be reduced.However, it is necessary to difference amplifier (DA1) detects LED current Signal, because all current sense resistors do not share common ground (due to only using a dimmer switch Q).By the electricity of detection Stream signal is made comparisons with Iref to adjust the reset current of magnetic amplifier.Zener diode Zd1 specific use acts as voltage Converter, because multiple output voltages of converter will not be identical with the voltage level of error amplifier.In Q closed-down periods Between, the high-frequency switching operation of primary main switch can be stopped further to reduce switching loss.If dimmer switch Q is short Road, then it can realize that amplitude mode dims by adjusting current reference value Iref.
The defects of to avoid traditional PWM from dimming, (such as trembles larger input/output electric current and the EMI performances degenerated), PSPWM dimming functions can be used.The LED driver system with PSPWM dimming functions proposed is shown in Fig. 6, its In each LED string use a dimmer switch.In Fig. 6 reset circuit, PNP transistor (Qr1) is added to error letter In the output of number amplifier.Its effect will be explained below.By taking LED string S1 as an example.In the Q down periods, if without using Qr1, the then electric current detected are that 0 and EA1 output voltage is higher.This situation will cause reset current for saturable electricity Too small for anti-device Lm1, Lm1 will lose its magnetic amplifier function, and Vs1 will raise to far above its desired value.That is, Vs1 loses Control.When adding Qr1, EA1 output voltage is approximately 0, then Lm1 reset current will increase to prevent to come from secondary windings Ns2 voltage pulse.Therefore, saturable reactor must be engineered to bear whole Flux consumptions of input waveform. In the case that all PWM dim signals are simultaneously relatively low, the main switch in the primary side of transformer will be turned off to reduce switch damage Consumption.All PWM dim signals are carried out by Dr1-Drn or computing is to detect the signal.
The performance of the LED driver proposed is verified by the prototype with the single-ended forward converters of 120kHz, described There is converter the 3rd transformer to be worked by 20-30V voltage source to reset winding.Utilize three CREE cool whites LED in parallel (model XREWHT-L1-WG-Q5-0-04) lamp string assesses the performance of proposed LED driver, wherein in each lamp string It is in series with 6 LED.Under 350mA, each LED typical forward voltage is 3.3V, and desired Vm is set as 17V.Circuit Critical component is listed in table 1.Inductance value is determined by (1)-(3).

The voltage of measurement is Vm=17.06V, Vs1=1.87V, Vs2=1.88V, Vs3=1.72V.In order to confirm that proposed LED drives Dynamic device can adjust driving voltage to reduce current unbalance, add 2.2 Ω's and 3.9 Ω to the 2nd and the 3rd LED string respectively Resistance, to establish the mismatch Conditions exaggerated among 3 LED strings.Fig. 7 (b) shows the new waveform under this state.Such as Desired such, Vr3 pulse width is most wide, because the 3rd lamp string has highest additional resistance;Vr2 pulse width Wider than Vr1, wherein Vr1 holding is constant.The voltage newly measured is Vm=17.06V, Vs1=1.87V, Vs2=2.52V, Vs3=2.94V.
Fig. 8 shows the LED string electric current measured under different duty cycles using traditional PWM light modulations method (referring to Fig. 5).When only , can be under different duty cycles on three LED strings by the voltage for adjusting three subordinate sources during with a dimmer switch Obtain identical amplitude 300mA.Fig. 9 shows the LED proposed under different duty cycles using PSPWM light modulations method (referring to Fig. 6) The waveform of driver.Equally, good current balance type is actually obtained under all of these conditions.
To be compared, C.-C.Chen, C.-Y.Wu and T.-F.Wu are established in Proc.IEEE PESC, 2006,2949- " the Fast transition current-type burst-mode dimming control for the LED of page 2955 Described in back-light driving system of LCD TV " (entire contents are incorporated by reference herein) The driver of traditional LED magnetic amplifiers regulation.Figure 10 shows that under different input voltages the LED proposed measured drives The gross efficiency of device and legacy drive.Due to the relatively low work(using public power source and magnetic amplifier rear class adjuster Rate processing requirement, therefore the scheme proposed can realize higher energy efficiency.
For LCD backlight application, usually using RGB LEDs so that the light of three kinds of colors is blended together into white light.It is however, red, green Color is different with the nominal forward voltage of blue led.The forward voltage of the red LED of same manufacturer is less than green and blue led , the forward voltage of green LED is roughly the same with blue led.In view of these factors, the LED driver proposed is suitable to RGB LED are applied.The circuit proposed can be used for this application.In fig. 11, red LED lamp string provides work(by main source Rate, green and blue led lamp string combine offer power by main source and corresponding subordinate source.The electric current of green and blue led Current sharing is individually adjusted to by corresponding suitable dependent voltage source respectively;However, the electric current of red LED lamp string only by Primary, voltage source is adjusted so as to current sharing.
