Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a driving apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. The driving apparatus 100 is used for driving a light emitting module 190. For example, the driving apparatus 100 may be applied to a desktop computer, a notebook computer, or an integrally formed computer. As shown in fig. 1, the driving apparatus 100 includes: bridge rectifier 110, first capacitor C1, inductance control circuit 120, transformer 130, power switch 140, output stage circuit 150, and controller 160. It should be noted that although not shown in fig. 1, the driving device 100 may also include other components, such as: a voltage regulator or (and) a negative feedback circuit.
The bridge rectifier 110 generates the rectified voltage VR according to the first input voltage VIN1 and the second input voltage VIN 2. The first input potential VIN1 and the second input potential VIN2 can be derived from an external power source, wherein an ac voltage with any frequency and any amplitude can be formed between the first input potential VIN1 and the second input potential VIN 2. For example, the frequency of the ac voltage may be about 50Hz or 60Hz, and the root-mean-square value of the ac voltage may be about 110V or 220V, but is not limited thereto. The first capacitor C1 may be used to store the rectified potential VR. Inductance control circuit 120 includes inductor L1. The inductance control circuit 120 adjusts the inductor current IL through the inductor L1 according to the rectified voltage VR and the first control voltage VC1 to generate the inductance voltage VL, wherein the first control voltage VC1 is selectively used for performing a pulse frequency modulation operation. The transformer 130 includes a primary winding 131, a secondary winding 132, and an auxiliary winding 133, wherein the primary winding 131 and the auxiliary winding 133 can be located on the same side of the transformer 130, and the secondary winding 132 can be located on the opposite side of the transformer 130. The primary winding 131 is for receiving an inductive potential VL, and the secondary winding 132 is for generating a transforming potential VS in response to the inductive potential VL. The auxiliary coil 133 is coupled to the controller 160. The main winding 131 is coupled to a ground potential VSS (e.g., 0V) via a power switch 140. The power switch 140 is switched according to a clock potential VA, and is alternately turned on or off. The output stage circuit 150 generates the output voltage VOUT according to the transformation voltage VS, wherein the light emitting device 190 determines whether to generate a light according to the output voltage VOUT. For example, if the output voltage VOUT is at a high logic level, the light emitting device 190 will generate light, and if the output voltage VOUT is at a low logic level, the light emitting device 190 will not generate any light. The controller 160 may be a control integrated circuit, which may be coupled to the bridge rectifier 110. In some embodiments, the controller 160 includes a detection circuit, a comparison circuit, and a processing circuit (not shown). The controller 160 can detect the rectified voltage level VR and compare the detected rectified voltage level VR with a first threshold value, wherein the controller 160 determines the first control voltage level VC1 and the clock voltage level VA according to the rectified voltage level VR. For example, if the rectified voltage VR is lower than the first threshold, the first control voltage VC1 performs the pulse frequency modulation operation; otherwise, if the rectified voltage VR is higher than or equal to the first threshold, no pulse frequency modulation operation is performed. The clock level VA can be maintained at a fixed level when the driving device 100 is initialized, and can provide a periodic clock waveform after the driving device 100 enters a normal use stage. According to the actual measurement result, the circuit design can reduce the undesirable stroboscopic phenomenon, so that the light-emitting device 190 using the driving apparatus 100 will not easily cause eye fatigue of the user.
The following embodiment will describe the detailed structure and operation of the driving device 100. It must be understood that these drawings and descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

The inductance control circuit 220 includes a fifth diode D5, a first transistor M1, and an inductor L1. The anode of the fifth diode D5 is coupled to the first node N1 for receiving the rectified voltage VR, and the cathode of the fifth diode D5 is coupled to a second node N2 for outputting an inductor voltage VL. The first transistor M1 may be an nmos field effect transistor. The control terminal of the first transistor M1 is for receiving a first control potential VC1, the first terminal of the first transistor M1 is coupled to a third node N3, and the second terminal of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the first node N1. A first terminal of the inductor L1 is coupled to the third node N3, and a second terminal of the inductor L1 is coupled to the second node N2. Generally, the inductance control circuit 220 adjusts an inductance current IL passing through the inductor L1 according to the rectified potential VR and the first control potential VC1, so as to determine the inductance potential VL at the second node N2.
The transformer 230 includes a primary winding 231, a secondary winding 232, and an auxiliary winding 233.

The controller 260 is coupled to the first node N1 of the bridge rectifier 210 and is configured to detect the rectified voltage VR, wherein the controller 260 determines the first control voltage VC1 and the clock voltage VA according to the rectified voltage VR. The first control potential VC1 is selectively used for performing a pulse frequency modulation operation. For example, if the rectified voltage VR is lower than a first threshold, the first control voltage VC1 performs the pwm operation; on the contrary, if the rectified voltage VR is higher than or equal to the first threshold, no pwm operation is performed, and the first control voltage VC1 can be maintained at a low logic level.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a driving device 300 according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 3 is similar to fig. 2. In the embodiment of fig. 3, an inductance control circuit 320 of the driving apparatus 300 further adjusts the inductor current IL passing through the inductor L1 according to a second control potential VC2, and a controller 360 of the driving apparatus 300 further determines the second control potential VC2 according to the rectified potential VR, wherein the second control potential VC2 is selectively used for performing a pulse width modulation operation. For example, if the rectified voltage VR is higher than a second threshold, the second control voltage VC2 performs pwm operation; on the contrary, if the rectified voltage VR is lower than or equal to the second threshold, no pwm operation is performed, and the second control voltage VC2 can be maintained at the low logic level. It should be noted that the second threshold value may be higher than the first threshold value. In detail, the inductance control circuit 320 further includes a third transistor M3. The third transistor M3 may be an nmos field effect transistor. The control terminal of the third transistor M3 is for receiving the second control potential VC2, the first terminal of the third transistor M3 is coupled to the third node N3, and the second terminal of the third transistor M3 is coupled to the first node N1. According to the actual measurement result, the third transistor M3 is added to further suppress the undesired stroboscopic phenomenon of the light emitting element 290. The remaining features of the driving device 300 of fig. 3 are similar to those of the driving device 200 of fig. 2, so that the two embodiments can achieve similar operation effects.
The following embodiments will describe how the pulse frequency modulation operation and the pulse width modulation operation of the driving device 300 can reduce the stroboscopic effect of the light emitting element 290. It should be noted that the operation principle of the driving device 100 of fig. 1 and the driving device 200 of fig. 2 can also be explained.
Fig. 4 is a waveform diagram of a driving apparatus 300 according to an embodiment of the invention, in which the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents a potential level or a current value. Taking a 60Hz ac voltage as an example, the frequency of the ac voltage will be 120Hz after passing through the bridge rectifier 210, which is a main reason for the stroboscopic phenomenon of the light emitting element 290. As shown in fig. 4, a first curve CC1 represents the waveform of the rectified potential VR (corresponding to the potential level on the vertical axis), and a second curve CC2 represents the waveform of the inductor current IL (corresponding to the current level on the vertical axis). That is, the inductor L1 acts as an energy storage device, and the inductor current IL passing through the inductor L1 is alternately increased and decreased in response to the change of the rectified voltage VR. With this design, after the rectified voltage VR is processed by the inductance control circuit 320, the equivalent frequency of the generated inductance voltage VL is significantly increased, which can prevent the light emitting device 290 from generating undesired stroboflash.
Fig. 5 is a waveform diagram of the driving apparatus 300 according to an embodiment of the invention, in which the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents a potential level or a current value. Fig. 5 can be regarded as a partial enlarged view of fig. 4. As shown in fig. 5, a third curve CC3 represents the waveform of the rectified potential VR (corresponding to the potential level on the vertical axis), and a fourth curve CC4 represents the waveform of the inductor current IL (corresponding to the current level on the vertical axis). In detail, in response to the gradually increasing rectified voltage VR, the inductor L1 can be sequentially operated in a first phase TA, a second phase TB, and a third phase TC. During the first phase TA, the inductor L1 operates in a discontinuous conduction mode, the energy storing speed is slow, and the energy releasing speed is fast, so the inductor current IL drops to 0 early at the end of the first phase TA. During the second phase TB, the inductor L1 is operated in a boundary conduction mode, and its energy storage speed is approximately equal to its energy release speed, so the inductor current IL drops to 0 exactly at the end of the second phase TB. During the third phase TC, the inductor L1 operates in a continuous conduction mode, and the energy storage speed is faster and the energy release speed is slower, so the inductor current IL has not decreased to 0 at the end of the third phase TC. On the contrary, in response to the gradually decreasing rectified voltage VR, the inductor L1 can be sequentially operated in the third phase TC, the second phase TB, and the first phase TA, and the principle thereof is similar and will not be repeated. According to the actual measurement results, when the inductor L1 operates in the boundary conduction mode, the loss of the driving device 300 is the lowest and the conversion efficiency is the highest. It should be noted that the pulse frequency modulation operation or (and) the pulse width modulation operation described above facilitates the inductor L1 to enter the boundary conduction mode, as described below.
Fig. 6 is a waveform diagram illustrating a pulse frequency modulation operation according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents potential level. When performing the pulse frequency modulation operation, the switching frequency of the first control potential VC1 is variable, but the on-time of the first control potential VC1 is fixed in each switching period. As shown in fig. 6, a first switching period T1 and a second switching period T2 of the first control potential VC1 have different lengths (i.e., different switching frequencies), but a first on-time TON1 of the first switching period T1 and a second on-time TON2 of the second switching period T2 have the same length. Based on actual measurements, the pulse frequency modulation operation can be used to modify inductor L1 in discontinuous conduction mode, which forces inductor L1 to enter boundary conduction mode earlier.
Fig. 7 is a waveform diagram illustrating a pwm operation according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents potential level. When performing the pwm operation, the switching frequency of the second control potential VC2 is fixed, but the on-time of the second control potential VC2 is variable in each switching period. As shown in fig. 7, a third switching period T3 and a fourth switching period T4 of the second control potential VC2 have the same length (i.e., the same switching frequency), but a third on-time TON3 of the third switching period T3 and a fourth on-time TON4 of the fourth switching period T4 have different lengths. Based on actual measurements, the pwm operation can be used to modify inductor L1 in continuous conduction mode, which forces inductor L1 into boundary conduction mode earlier.
In summary, the inductance control circuit 320 operates as described in table one below:

For example, if the rectified voltage VR is lower than the first threshold, the first transistor M1 will perform the pulse frequency modulation operation according to the first control voltage VC 1; if the rectified voltage VR is higher than the second threshold, the third transistor M3 performs pwm operation according to the second control voltage VC 2; if the rectified voltage VR is between the first threshold and the second threshold, neither the pulse frequency modulation operation nor the pulse width modulation operation is performed.
In some embodiments, the inductance control circuit 320 includes the first transistor M1 but not the third transistor M3, i.e., only the pulse frequency modulation operation is selectively used. In other embodiments, the inductance control circuit 320 includes the third transistor M3 but not the first transistor M1, i.e., only the pwm operation is selectively used. Both of the above embodiments can exert similar technical effects to those of the foregoing embodiments.
In some embodiments, the component parameters of any of the drive devices 100, 200, 300 may be as follows. The resistor R1 may have a resistance value of 423 Ω to 517 Ω, preferably 470 Ω. The capacitance of the first capacitor C1 may be between 96 μ F and 144 μ F, preferably 120 μ F. The second capacitor C2 may have a capacitance value of 544 μ F to 816 μ F, preferably 680 μ F. The inductance of inductor L1 may be between 80 μ H and 120 μ H, preferably 100 μ H. The ratio of the number of turns of the primary coil 231 to the secondary coil 232 may be between 1 and 40, preferably 20. The ratio of the number of turns of the secondary winding 232 to the auxiliary winding 233 may be between 1 and 3, preferably 1.33. The first control potential VC1 for performing the pulse frequency modulation operation has a frequency conversion range between 40kHz and 60 kHz. The second control potential VC2 for performing the pulse width modulation operation has a fixed frequency between 60 kHz. The first threshold value may be equal to about 30% of the maximum value of the rectified potential VR. The second threshold value may be equal to about 60% of the maximum value of the rectified potential VR. The above parameter ranges are derived from a plurality of experimental results, which are helpful for optimizing the conversion efficiency of the driving apparatuses 100, 200, 300 and effectively suppressing the stroboscopic phenomenon.
The present invention provides a novel driving device, which includes an inductance control circuit. According to the actual measurement result, the driving device using the inductance control circuit can inhibit the non-ideal stroboflash of the corresponding light-emitting component so as to reduce the eye fatigue and discomfort of a user. In general, the driving device of the present invention is not easily affected by the low frequency noise of the general utility power, so it is suitable for various electronic devices.
