Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a circuit diagram of a constant voltage mode driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the input capacitor C1, the inductor L, the freewheeling diode D1, the output capacitor C2, the switching tube Q1, the controller 11, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 form a boost module, and the boost module is configured to boost the input voltage VIN to obtain a constant output voltage VOUT, and use VOUT as a power supply voltage of the light emitting module. The light module includes a first string of LEDs1 and a second string of LEDs 2.
In a specific implementation process, the controller 10 generates a PWM signal according to the sampled voltage of the output voltage VOUT sampled by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and controls the on and off of the switching tube Q1 through the PWM signal to obtain the output voltage VOUT higher than VIN, so as to supply power to the light emitting module. Specifically, assuming that the switching tube Q1 is turned off for a certain time, the voltage of the output capacitor is equal to the input voltage, and then the voltage is boosted through the charging phase and the discharging phase in sequence. During the charging phase, the switch Q1 is turned on, the input voltage VIN flows through the inductor L, and the freewheeling diode D1 prevents the capacitor from discharging to ground. Since the input voltage VIN is a dc voltage, the current on the inductor L linearly increases at a certain rate, and the inductor L stores energy as the inductor current increases. In the discharging stage, the switching tube Q1 is turned off, and the current flowing through the inductor L does not suddenly disappear due to the current holding characteristic of the inductor L, but slowly gradually decreases from the highest value at the end of charging to 0. When the inductor L is turned off, the freewheeling diode D1 allows freewheeling, so the inductor L starts to charge the output capacitor C2, and the voltage across the output capacitor C2 increases, and the output voltage VOUT is higher than the input voltage VIN. The boosting effect is realized.
It can be seen that VOUT can be maintained at a constant value through voltage feedback of R1 and R2 and control of the controller 10, however, since the internal resistances of the LEDs are different, the sum of the internal resistances of the first string and the second string of LEDs may also be different, and thus the currents generated by the first string and the second string of LEDs with different internal resistances are different under the same constant voltage. The light emitted by the backlight plate has poor brightness, and the visual effect of the display screen is influenced.
In view of the above problems, the inventors have found that current monitoring can be performed by connecting a current sampling resistor in series to a string of lights on the basis of a constant voltage mode, and that currents of different strings of lights can be made to be consistent by comparing the monitored current with a reference voltage of a voltage regulator tube and adjusting a driving current flowing through the string of lights according to a comparison result.
The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

And feeds back the current feedback result to the controller 11, so that the controller 11 generates a PWM signal to control the switching tube Q1 to generate a corresponding output voltage VOUT. Therefore, the driving circuit in the constant current mode needs to adopt an additional constant current chip to adjust the current, the cost is high, the circuit connection is complex, the driving circuit provided by the embodiment can adjust the driving current only through the current adjusting module corresponding to each lamp string to compare the driving current with the reference signal, and compared with the prior art shown in fig. 3, the driving circuit can reduce the cost and has a simple circuit.

One end of the inductor L is connected with the input capacitor C1, and the other end of the inductor L is connected with the first end of the switching tube Q1 and the anode of the freewheeling diode D1; the cathode of the freewheeling diode D1 is connected with the output capacitor C2 and the first end of the voltage sampling unit; the second end of the voltage sampling unit is grounded, and the output end of the voltage sampling unit is connected with the feedback end FB of the controller 11; the output end of the controller 11 is connected with the control end of the switching tube Q1; the switching tube Q1 has a first terminal connected to the anode of the freewheeling diode D1 and a second terminal connected to ground.
The input capacitor C1 is used for stabilizing the input voltage VIN.
And the inductor L is used for storing electric energy.
And the freewheeling diode D1 is used for freewheeling when the electric energy stored in the inductor L is released to the output capacitor C2.
And a switching tube Q1 for receiving the PWM signal output by the controller 11 and turning on or off according to the PWM signal.
And the voltage sampling unit is used for sampling the output voltage VOUT and feeding back the sampled voltage to the feedback terminal FB of the controller 11, so that the controller 11 generates a PWM signal according to the sampled voltage.
Optionally, the voltage sampling unit includes: a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2.
One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the cathode of the freewheeling diode D1, the other end is connected to the feedback terminal FB of the controller 11 and one end of the second resistor R2, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is grounded.
In a specific implementation process, the controller 11 generates a PWM signal according to the sampled voltage of the output voltage VOUT sampled by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and controls the on and off of the switching tube Q1 through the PWM signal to obtain the output voltage VOUT higher than VIN, so as to supply power to the light emitting module. Specifically, assuming that the switching tube Q1 is turned off for a certain time, the voltage of the output capacitor C2 is equal to the input voltage VIN, and then the voltage is boosted through a charging phase and a discharging phase in sequence. During the charging phase, the switch Q1 is turned on, the input voltage VIN flows through the inductor L, and the freewheeling diode D1 prevents the capacitor from discharging to ground. Since the input voltage VIN is a dc voltage, the current on the inductor L linearly increases at a certain rate, and the inductor L stores energy as the current of the inductor L increases. In the discharging stage, the switching tube Q1 is turned off, and the current flowing through the inductor L does not suddenly disappear due to the current holding characteristic of the inductor L, but slowly gradually decreases from the highest value at the end of charging to 0.
