The principle of the invention is as follows:
when the LED lamp is started for the first time, the dimming signal processing circuit processes and converts an input dimming signal, then the dimming signal is input into the LED driving control circuit, and the LED driving control circuit outputs a high-frequency switching signal voltage to control the LED driving circuit to light the LED. When the dimming signal is large, namely the dimming rate is high, the duty ratio of the output high-frequency switching signal of the LED driving control circuit is large, the time for charging the EC1 by the large output current of the LED driving circuit is short, and the LED is rapidly lightened. When the dimming signal is very small and the dimming rate is low, the duty ratio of the output high-frequency switching signal of the LED driving control circuit is very small, the time for the LED driving circuit to output very small current to charge the capacitor EC1 becomes very long, and the LED lights slowly.
After the LED lamp is started, the LED + and LED-voltage sampling circuit inputs the sampled voltage signal of the LED lamp to the dimming signal control circuit, and the dimming signal control circuit determines the voltage of the LED lamp by calculating the signal voltage of the LED + and the LED-. The voltage is lower as the VI characteristic current of the LED lamp bead is smaller, so that the LED lamp bead is started at a low dimming rate when being started for the first time, the voltage of the LED lamp is the lowest, and the dimming signal control circuit calculates and memorizes and stores the voltage parameters of the LED lamp by the signal voltage of the LED + and the LED-.
And when the LED is started up again at any dimming rate at any time later, the dimming signal control circuit outputs a dimming signal with a larger dimming rate to the LED drive control circuit to drive the LED drive circuit to charge the EC1 with a large current at the initial starting up stage, the LED lamp is quickly lightened, and when the dimming signal control circuit detects that the LED voltage reaches the voltage parameter memorized in the initial starting up stage, the dimming signal with the normal dimming rate is output.
In the subsequent lighting process, if the dimming signal control circuit detects the voltage parameter of the LED lamp at the low dimming rate at all times and stores the updating parameter, the voltage parameter of the LED lamp is prevented from changing after the LED lamp is used for a long time.
