Description

Switch buck type LED constant current control circuit, system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of LED constant current control, in particular to a switch buck LED constant current control circuit, a system and a method.
Background
The traditional switch buck type LED controller adopts a peak current detection mode with fixed clock frequency, is influenced by inductance ripple, and has poor current precision on an output LED light-emitting unit; when the external power supply and the load change, the inductance value needs to be adjusted to ensure that the output inductance current works in a continuous conduction mode, and the selection of the inductance value influences the accuracy and ripple of the LED current.
In the conventional LED control scheme, after the power supply VDD is powered on, the current detection sampling signal is compared with the reference voltage to generate a charging end signal, the charging end signal and the clock signal are controlled by PWM logic to generate a logic control signal, and then the logic control signal is driven by the output front stage to generate a gate driving signal of an external power device, so as to control the power device to be turned on and off, thereby controlling the current (current peak and ripple) on the external LED light emitting unit.
The driving time sequence of the continuous conduction mode is shown in fig. 1, after the power supply VDD is powered on, the internal driving circuit starts to work, the internal PWM logic controls the external inductor to periodically charge and discharge, and the corresponding current i_led flows through the external LED light emitting unit. One PWM period is amplified, with the timing shown in fig. 2: in a fixed PWM period (for example, the fixed clock period may be set to 7 us), the gate driving signal DRV is set to a logic high level, the power device is turned on, the inductor current is charged, the level of the feedback signal CS slowly rises to the reference voltage VREF, when the charging end signal DISCHARGE is detected to be high, DRV becomes a logic low level, the power device is turned off, and the inductor current is discharged.
In continuous conduction mode: the peak value of the output current i_led is: ipeak=vref/r_sense, where Ipeak is the peak current and r_sense is the resistance of the sampling resistor. The ripple of the i_led is: Δi=v LED * Toff/L, where V LED For the voltage drop across the LED lighting unit, L is the inductance and Toff is the fixed discharge time. Since it is a buck type LED controller, the fixed discharge time Toff is determined by the voltage drop V across the LED lighting unit LED The input voltage Vin and PWM period T are determined by: toff= (1-V) LED Vin) T, so: Δi=v LED *(1-V LED Vin) T/L, the accuracy of the output current i_led is affected by the peak value Ipeak and the ripple Δi.
In order to ensure constant output current, proper inductance value is required to ensure that the loop works in a continuous conduction mode, and the calculation formula of the minimum inductance value is as follows: l1>V LED *(1-V LED Vin) T r_sense/VREF, when Δi=ipeak=vref/r_sense, the output operates in a critical continuous conduction mode. To achieve better current accuracy, it is necessary to ensure that the ripple of the inductor current is small, for example, Δi=40%. Ipeak is set, and the inductance is increased to: l1>2.5*V LED *(1-V LED Vin) T r_sense/VREF. If the set external inductance is small, the discontinuous conduction mode is easy to enter, and the ripple and the precision of the I_LED are affected.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the output current, the conventional LED control loop has fixed frequency and must ensure that the controller works in a continuous conduction mode. When the external inductance is smaller or the set output I_LED current is smaller, vin, an LED light-emitting unit and other loads are changed, a discontinuous conduction mode is easy to enter, and the output current precision is affected. Therefore, how to ensure that the LED control loop is not affected by the input voltage and the LED lighting unit, to improve the output current accuracy and reduce the output ripple is one of the problems to be solved by those skilled in the art.

If the current detection sampling signal Vcs is always smaller than the peak reference Vref2, the On signal On is controlled to be invalid and becomes low level when the subtraction result is zero; with the increase of the current detection sampling signal Vcs, if the current detection sampling signal Vcs is greater than the peak reference Vref2, the subtraction operation is stopped, and the On signal On is directly controlled to fail when the current detection sampling signal Vcs is greater than the peak reference Vref 2. The output of the average current comparing module 111 controls the current detection sampling signal Vcs to be equal to the vertical deviation value of the average reference voltage Vref1, so as to realize constant current output. The output of the peak current comparing module 112 controls the maximum On time of the On signal On, if the current detection sampling signal Vcs is higher than the peak reference Vref2, the peak current comparing module 112 outputs a high level pulse, the subtractor 114a3 stops working immediately, and the On signal On ends in advance and becomes logic low level.

Example IV
As shown in fig. 9 to 12, this embodiment provides a switching buck LED constant current control method, in this embodiment, the switching buck LED constant current control system 1 described in the third embodiment is used to describe the switching buck LED constant current control method of the present invention, and in practical use, any hardware circuit or software code according to the switching buck LED constant current control method of the present invention is applicable, and is not limited to the list of this embodiment. The switch buck LED constant current control method comprises the following steps:
monitoring the current detection sampling signal Vcs of the step-down LED circuit 12, outputting a valid On signal On in a period of time when the current detection sampling signal Vcs rises to the first time when the current detection sampling signal Vcs exceeds the average reference Vref1 and in a period of time when the current detection sampling signal Vcs exceeds the average reference Vref1, and then disabling the On signal On, wherein if the current detection sampling signal Vcs is greater than the peak reference Vref2, the On signal On is disabled;
reducing a turn-Off reference signal ref_off when the current detection sampling signal Vcs is greater than the peak reference Vref2, increasing the turn-Off reference signal ref_off when the current detection sampling signal Vcs is less than the peak reference Vref2, comparing a preset charging signal RC with the turn-Off reference signal ref_off, and generating the turn-Off end signal Off when the preset charging signal RC is greater than the turn-Off reference signal ref_off;
And adjusting a driving signal Drv of the power switch tube Q based On the On signal On and the Off end signal Off so as to realize constant current output and control ripple of output current.
Specifically, in the initial state, as shown in fig. 9, the power switch Q is turned On, the On signal On is at a high level (active), the current detection sampling signal Vcs is smaller than the average reference Vref1, and at this time, the adder 114a2 starts to operate and starts to count slowly from 0. The current detection sampling signal Vcs gradually increases as the inductance L is charged. When the current detection sampling signal Vcs reaches the average reference Vref1, the first comparison result Cp1 outputs a high level, the adder 114a2 stops working, the count result is n, and the product of the count result n and the basic clock generated by the oscillator 114a1 is the first time Δt; at the same time, the subtractor 114a3 starts to operate, and the subtractor 114a3 performs subtraction on the count result n. In the initial stage, since the current detection sampling signal Vcs rises faster, when the subtractor 114a3 does not count zero (the subtraction time is less than the first time Δt), the current detection sampling signal Vcs is already greater than the peak reference Vref2, at this time, the second comparison result Cp2 outputs a high level, the On signal On jumps to a low level (fails), the On signal On controls the power switch Q to be turned On when the On signal On is high, and the On signal On controls the power switch Q to be turned off when the On signal On is low. With the adjustment of a plurality of periods, the rising speed of the current detection sampling signal Vcs is reduced, the time for performing subtraction approaches to the first time Δt until reaching equilibrium, at this time, since the current detection sampling signal Vcs is always smaller than the peak reference Vref2, the subtractor 114a3 slowly counts back to 0 from the count result n, and then the On signal On jumps to a low level, and the count result n of the subtractor 114a3 multiplied by the basic clock is Δt. The current detection sampling signal Vcs is equal to the vertical deviation value of the average reference Vref1, so that the average current value of the output current i_led is: iaverage=vref 1/Rcs, where Rcs is the resistance of the sampling module 122.
Specifically, when the On signal On is at a low level, the adaptive clock generating module 113 starts to operate, and generates a corresponding Off end signal Off. As shown in fig. 10, if it is detected that the second comparison result Cp2 outputs a high level (there is a high level pulse output) in one PWM period, the inverted logic signal LS of the second comparison result Cp2 is a low level pulse, when the driving signal Drv transitions to a low level, the pulse signal pulse (in this embodiment, the reference value is set to 300 ns) arrives, the pull-Down control signal Down transitions to a high level, the pull-Down transistor MN is controlled to be turned on, the Off reference signal ref_off is discharged to decrease, and the Off reference signal ref_off remains until the pull-Down control signal Down transitions to a low level. As shown in fig. 11, if the second comparison result Cp2 is not detected (no high level pulse is output) in one PWM period, the inversion logic signal LS of the second comparison result Cp2 is always kept at a high level, when the driving signal Drv transitions to a low level, the pulse signal pulse arrives, the pull-Up control signal Up transitions to a low level, the pull-Up tube MP is controlled to be turned on, the Off reference signal ref_off is charged to be increased, and the Off reference signal ref_off is maintained until the pull-Up control signal Up transitions to a high level. Comparing the preset charging signal RC with the Off reference signal ref_off, wherein the preset charging signal RC is a triangular wave signal, when the On signal On is invalid, the preset charging signal RC gradually increases, and when the preset charging signal RC is greater than the Off reference signal ref_off, the Off end signal Off is valid, so as to control the power switch tube Q to be turned back On. As shown in fig. 12, after the power supply VDD is powered up, the first switch S1 is turned on, the bias voltage Vbias provides an initial potential (in this embodiment, the reference value is 3V) to the Off reference signal ref_off, and then the first switch S1 is turned Off. At this time, the Off reference signal ref_off has a higher potential, the Off (low level) time Toff in the driving signal Drv is longer, the on (high level) time Ton in the driving signal Drv is also longer, the charging current of the inductor L rises quickly, the peak current comparing module 112 is triggered to generate a high level pulse, the pull-Down control signal Down pulls Down the Off reference signal ref_off, and the Off reference signal ref_off gradually falls; when the output current i_led tends to be stable, the output of the peak current comparing module 112 does not generate a high level, so as to avoid the drop of the Off reference signal ref_off caused by the discharge of the first charging capacitor C1, and the pull-Up control signal Up will pull Up the Off reference signal ref_off at this time, so as to ensure that the Off reference signal ref_off is always stable at a constant value. In the self-adaptive adjustment process, the period of the turn-Off ending signal Off gradually becomes smaller, the fixed discharge time Toff is finally realized, and the inductance precision and the ripple are optimized.
The current detection sampling signal Vcs and the peak reference Vref2 are sent to the input terminal of the peak current comparing module 112, the peak current comparing module 112 outputs to the PWM logic control module 114, and the current detection sampling signal Vcs and the average reference voltage Vref1 are also sent to the input terminal of the average current comparing module 111, and the average current comparing module 111 outputs to the PWM logic control module 114, and the On signal On is generated by the count control. When the On signal On is high, the driving signal Drv is high, and the external power switch tube Q is turned On; when the On signal On is low, the driving signal Drv is low, the external power switch Q is turned Off, and the adaptive clock generating module 113 is enabled, and the adaptive clock generating module 113 outputs and generates a corresponding Off end signal Off, and the On signal On and the Off end signal Off are added together to realize a PWM period.
As an implementation manner of the present invention, the switch buck LED constant current control method further includes: and monitoring the current detection sampling signal Vcs, and turning off the power switch tube Q when the current detection sampling signal Vcs is larger than a short-circuit protection reference Vref3, wherein the short-circuit protection reference Vref3 is larger than the peak value reference Vref2.
As another implementation manner of the present invention, the switching buck LED constant current control method further includes: the values of the average reference Vref1 and the peak reference Vref2 are adjusted based on a dimming control signal DIM to achieve dimming control.
As shown in fig. 13, which is an input-output timing diagram of the switch buck LED constant current control circuit, system and method of the present invention, it can be seen that after the power supply VDD is powered on, the constant current control circuit is self-adaptively adjusted, and the current is transited from the discontinuous conduction mode to the continuous conduction mode, so as to achieve high precision and small ripple of the output current i_led on the LED light emitting unit. Amplifying fig. 13, the waveform of the output current i_led in the discontinuous conduction mode before stabilizing is as shown in fig. 14, the average reference Vref 1=200 mV is set, the time of the adder and the subtractor before stabilizing is consistent, the output of the peak current comparing module is detected when the subtractor works, the On signal On is changed to the logic low level in advance, and the driving signal Drv is turned off to enter the inductor discharging stage. Amplifying fig. 13, the waveform of the output current i_led in the continuous conduction mode after stabilization is as shown in fig. 15, and the adder and the subtractor are consistent in time after stabilization, and the current detection sampling signal Vcs is equal to the up-down deviation value of the average reference Vref1 (200 mV), so that the high precision and the small ripple of the output current are finally realized.
