Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be further described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 9 and the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the present application.
The embodiment of the application discloses a method and a circuit for generating stable current. Referring to fig. 1, a method for generating a stabilizing current includes:
step S101: in N time periods, based on a preset mapping table, N paths of driving currents are respectively transmitted to corresponding paths in N paths in each branch according to time periods;
the mapping table comprises a corresponding relation between time periods and paths conveyed by the driving current; and, each path of driving current corresponds to a mapping table; n is a positive integer greater than or equal to two.
It should be noted that, N driving currents may be output by the constant current source, but the current output by each driving power source may still have an error due to the influence of the manufacturing process of the circuit components.
The branches are circuit branches for outputting current, the number of the branches is at least two, and the number of the preferable branches is consistent with the number of the driving current.
It will be appreciated that the drive current is delivered to the unique corresponding path for a specified period of time in accordance with a preset map, i.e. the number of paths included in each branch corresponds to the number of paths of the drive current. For each drive current, all branches are fed, and for each branch all drive currents are fed.
Step S103: and superposing the currents of all the paths in each branch circuit in N time periods to generate the stable current corresponding to each branch circuit.
It will be appreciated that since all paths in each branch are correspondingly receiving N drive currents, each branch is no longer driven by a single drive current, at which point the current output by each branch is a superposition of the currents of all paths in each branch.
It should be noted that the steady current is not a current that the branch outputs a certain value. Because the current output by each branch circuit is derived from all driving currents, errors generated among different driving currents can be counteracted, and the current output by the branch circuit can form stable currents with a certain proportion or equal.
In the above embodiment, according to the mapping table, N driving currents are respectively delivered to the corresponding paths in each branch in N time periods, so that each branch has a unique corresponding driving current in each time period, so that in N time periods, each branch is commonly driven by all driving currents, and is not separately driven by a certain driving current, so that when an error exists between the driving currents, the error does not directly act on one branch, but acts on all branches, so that the error is averaged over all branches, and the error between the stable currents output by each branch is reduced.
As one embodiment of the time periods, N time periods are all set at equal time lengths.
As an embodiment of the time periods, the N time periods may also be set in a proportion, for example, in three time periods, the proportion of the durations of the three time periods is 1:1:2.
as an embodiment of the preset mapping table, the preset mapping table specifically includes: generating a pulse control signal for each path in each branch; generating a mapping table of each path of driving current based on pulse control signals of all paths;
the pulse control signal adopts a rectangular wave signal and is used for controlling the on-off of the channels, so that the on-off between the driving current and the channels is controlled, namely, the channels conveyed by each channel of driving current are controlled through the pulse control signal.
It should be understood that, after the pulse control signals of all the paths are generated, the time period for conducting the corresponding path of each path of the driving current can be obtained through the pulse control signals of all the paths, so that the mapping table of each path of the driving current can be generated.
In the above embodiment, the on-off of each channel is controlled by the pulse control signal, so that the corresponding relation between the driving current and the channel in each time period can be obtained from the pulse control signal, and the effect of generating the mapping table of the driving current in each channel can be realized according to all the pulse control signals.
Referring to fig. 2, as one embodiment of generating the pulse control signal for each path in each branch, generating the pulse control signal for each path in each branch specifically includes:
step S201: generating a period of a pulse control signal according to the total duration of the N time periods;
it should be understood that, since the paths to which the driving currents are supplied are different in each of the N periods, there is no periodicity in the correspondence between the driving currents and the paths in the N periods, and when the supply of all the branches is completed in each of the N periods, the next group of N periods starts to be supplied, and at this time, the pulse control signal has periodicity, and the period of the pulse signal is the total duration of the N periods.
Step S202: dividing each period into N subcycles consistent with the number of the paths;
the number of the paths, the number of the time periods and the number of the driving current paths are the same, that is, the number of the paths is N, each period is divided into N subcycles, and one path of the paths in each subcycle is conducted.
It will be appreciated that the duration of each sub-period corresponds to the duration of each time period.
Step S203: generating an initial phase of a pulse control signal corresponding to each path according to the starting moment of each subcycle;
it should be noted that, in all paths of the same branch, only one path is conducted in each subcycle, and in each subcycle, one path is conducted between the corresponding driving current and each path.
Wherein generating the initial phase of the pulse control signal corresponding to each path further comprises: in the paths of the same branch, the initial phase corresponding to each path corresponds to the starting moment of each subcycle one by one. I.e. in the same branch, each path has a unique corresponding initial phase.
Step S204: presetting the duty ratio of a pulse control signal corresponding to each branch;
the duty ratio refers to the proportion of the power-on duration relative to the whole period in one period, the duty ratio can be set according to practical situations, and the proportion of the stable current output by each branch can be adjusted by setting the duty ratio, for example, the duty ratio of the first branch is preset to be 0.5, the duty ratio of the second branch is preset to be 0.2, and then the ratio of the stable current output by the first branch to the stable current output by the second branch is 5:2.
the duty ratios of all the paths of the same branch should be kept consistent, so that only the duty ratio of the pulse control signal of the branch needs to be set in the preset process.
It should be understood that when the duty cycle of the pulse control signals of all the branches is 1, the stabilizing currents of all the branches are average values of all the driving currents, and the stabilizing currents output by all the branches are equal.
Step S205: the pulse control signal for each path is generated based on the period, the initial phase, and the duty cycle.
Referring to fig. 3, as an embodiment of step S103, step S103 specifically includes:
step S1031: obtaining the corresponding relation between all paths in each branch and N paths of driving currents according to all mapping tables;
it should be understood that the mapping table is generated according to the pulse control signal, so that not only the correspondence between all paths in each branch and the driving current, but also the duty ratio of the pulse control signal corresponding to each path, that is, the on time of each path, can be obtained from the mapping table.
Step S1032: calculating the channel current of each channel in each branch in N time periods according to the corresponding relation between all channels in each branch and the driving current;
it should be understood that the N time periods are one period of the pulse control signal, and the channel currents outputted from the same channel are uniform in each period of the pulse control signal. The path current of each path=the driving current of the path corresponds to the duty ratio of the pulse control signal of the path.
Step S1033: and superposing the channel currents of all channels in each branch circuit to generate the stable current corresponding to each branch circuit.
Wherein, because there may be a certain error between each path of driving current, there is a certain difference between the currents of each path in the same branch. But all paths in the same branch are driven by N paths of driving currents together, namely, the stable currents of the branches obtained by superposition of the currents of all paths counteract errors among the driving currents.
The implementation principle of the generation method of the stable current in the embodiment of the application is as follows: generating N paths of driving currents, and respectively conveying the N paths of driving currents to corresponding paths of each branch based on a preset mapping table in N time periods, so that the N paths of driving currents are respectively conveyed to all paths in the same branch one by one, namely, each branch is simultaneously driven by the N paths of driving currents, when errors exist among the N paths of driving currents, the driving currents with the errors do not only act on one path of branch, but are averaged to all branches, and therefore the errors among stable currents output by all branches are reduced.
Referring to fig. 4, an embodiment of the present application discloses a method for generating RGB stabilizing currents. It will be appreciated that the RGB circuit is used to control the RGB three-way colour conversion so that different colours of light can be displayed, and that the RGB circuit requires at least three channels, the R channel, the B channel and the G channel, so that in the RGB circuit it is preferred to generate three stable currents.
A method of generating RGB stable currents, comprising:
step S301: dividing each refresh period into three time periods;
in the RGB circuit, the refresh period refers to the refresh period of the lamplight, and the refresh frequency of the lamplight is reciprocal.
Step S302: in a first time period, transporting a first driving current to a first path of an R branch, transporting a second driving current to a first path of a G branch, and transporting a third driving current to a first path of a B branch;
step S303: in a second time period, the first driving current is conveyed to a second path of the B branch, the second driving current is conveyed to a second path of the R branch, and the third driving current is conveyed to a second path of the G branch;
step S304: in a third time period, the first driving current is transported to a third path of the G branch, the second driving current is transported to a third path of the B branch, and the third driving current is transported to a third path of the R branch;
it should be understood that the mapping table includes a correspondence relationship between each time period and the path through which the driving current is delivered, that is, the first driving current, the second driving current, and the third driving current are transported based on the mapping table in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period.
The first period, the second period, and the third period are cycled, that is, the steady current can be continuously generated.
Step S305: and superposing the currents of the first passage, the second passage and the third passage of the R branch to generate a stable current of the R branch, superposing the currents of the first passage, the second passage and the third passage of the G branch to generate a stable current of the G branch, and superposing the currents of the first passage, the second passage and the third passage of the B branch to generate a stable current of the B branch.
Specifically, referring to fig. 5, the C1 waveform is the pulse control signal of the first path of the R branch, the C2 waveform is the pulse control signal of the second path of the R branch, the C3 waveform is the pulse control signal of the third path of the R branch, and the outl is the pulse waveform of the R branch.
Referring to fig. 6, similarly, the C4 waveform is a pulse control signal of the first path of the G branch, the C5 waveform is a pulse control signal of the second path of the G branch, the C6 waveform is a pulse control signal of the third path of the G branch, and the OUTB is a pulse waveform of the G branch.
Referring to fig. 7, similarly, the C7 waveform is a pulse control signal of the first path of the B-branch, the C8 waveform is a pulse control signal of the second path of the B-branch, the C9 waveform is a pulse control signal of the third path of the B-branch, and the OUTB is a pulse waveform of the B-branch.
It should be noted that, the period of the pulse control signal is a refresh period.
The implementation principle of the method for generating the RGB stable current in the embodiment of the application is as follows: in an RGB circuit, stable R, G and B currents need to be output, and in three periods, the R, G and B currents are alternately supplied by the first, second and third driving currents, so that the R, G and B currents can each use the first, second and third driving currents, and the stable currents generated by the R, G and B branches cancel errors among the first, second and third driving currents.
The embodiment of the application discloses a generation circuit of stable current. Referring to fig. 8, a stable current generation circuit includes:
a control unit 2, configured to respectively transmit N driving currents to corresponding paths among N paths in each branch according to a time period, based on a preset mapping table, in N time periods; the mapping table comprises the corresponding relation between each time period and a path conveyed by the driving current; and, each path of driving current corresponds to a mapping table;
and the driving unit 3 is connected to the control unit 2 and is used for superposing the currents of all the paths in each branch in N time periods to generate a stable current corresponding to each branch.
