Detailed Description
In the prior art, fig. 1 shows a conventional LED load state detection circuit of a constant voltage dimming power supply, which can detect an open circuit and a short circuit of an LED load. A MOS tube Q2 and a current detection resistor R24 are connected in series in a circuit that a constant voltage power supply outputs to an LED load, and a PWM signal is controlled by an MCU to drive a Q2 switch to realize a dimming function. When the LED load is in normal work, load current flows through a current detection resistor R24, a pulsating voltage drop A is generated on R24, a pulsating voltage signal is filtered and converted into a direct current level B, and then the direct current level B is sent to the positive end of a comparator to be compared with reference voltages VREF1 and VREF2 of the negative end, at the moment, the level of a point B of VREF2 is more than that of VREF1, the high level signal is output at the point C of the output end, the point C signal is sent to an MCU as a load open circuit state detection signal to be detected, and the MCU detects the high level signal, so that the LED load is. When the load is in an open circuit, no current flows through the current detection resistor R24, the signal at the point C is in a low level, the MCU detects the low level signal within a certain settable short time, the LED load is judged to be in an open circuit, and a related instruction is sent to inform a user at the moment. If the load is in short circuit in operation, the current flowing through the current detection resistor R24 is very large, the level of the point B is greater than VREF2, a high-level signal is output at the point D, and the MCU detects the high-level signal of the point D within a certain settable short time, so that the LED load is judged to be in short circuit.
The main disadvantages of the above circuit are:
1. the load current generates power loss through R24, reduces power conversion efficiency, generates considerable heat to influence the temperature rise of the whole machine and reduces reliability.
2. When the load is light (such as ≦ 5% rated load), the voltage drop generated by the output current on R24 is very low, and the voltage signal at point B is very low, and unless the resistance of R24 is large enough (but when it is too large, the full load loss will be larger and the resistor may be burned), the voltage signal will be lower than the comparator reference voltage VREF1 (the reference voltage cannot be infinitely low because the comparator device itself has offset voltage characteristics), and at this time, no high level output is provided at point C, and the MCU does not detect a high level signal, which results in a false determination that the LED load is open.

The load detection circuit provided by the embodiment of the application can accurately detect whether the LED load is open-circuited or short-circuited, and can realize accurate detection in the whole load range. Referring to fig. 4, a first MOS transistor Q1 and a first resistor R1 for current detection are connected in series in a constant voltage power supply output to the LED load loop, and a PWM signal is output through MCU control (point a) to drive Q1, so as to adjust its on-duty ratio to implement a dimming function. When Q1 is turned on, an on-state equivalent impedance RDS1 exists between the drain and the source, and the size of the RDS1 depends on the MOS transistor parameter selection. When Q1 is turned off, there is an off-state equivalent resistance RDS2 between the drain and the source, because only leakage current flows between the drain and the source of Q1, the resistance value of RDS2 is very large. Then there is an equivalent impedance at the drain-source (DS pole) whether Q1 is on or off, which can be referred to as a drain-source equivalent impedance RDS (hereinafter abbreviated as RDS). As can be seen from fig. 4, the RDS and the first resistor R1 are connected in series, and during normal operation, as long as a load current flows through the RDS and R1, voltage drop signals (point B and point E) always exist at both ends of the RDS and R1. Therefore, whether the LED load is open or short can be determined by detecting the voltage drop across the equivalent impedances RDS and R1, so as to implement the load status detection function.
As shown in fig. 4, when detecting the open circuit of the load, the circuit has the following two operation modes during the actual operation:
1. when the load is full load, the duty ratio is 100%, namely Q1 is always conducted, and only the RDS1 of the drain-source on-state equivalent impedance participates in the work. The RDS1 and the R1 are connected in series to form a detection resistor, and because the load current is large when the load is fully loaded, a continuous voltage drop signal can be generated at point B by the small resistance values of the on-state impedance RDS and the R1, and the amplitude of the signal is larger than a first preset signal source Vref1 (which can be set according to the actual application requirement, for example, can be a reference voltage of 50 mV), so that the sampling requirement can be met, and a specific working waveform diagram is shown in fig. 5.
2. When the load is not fully loaded, the PWM duty ratio is defined to be between 0.1% and 100% (not including 100%), and at this time, Q1 always works in the on-off state, so the equivalent impedances RDS1 and RDS2 both participate in the work, and are respectively connected in series with R1 to form a detection resistor, and then a pulsating high-level signal is generated at point B, and a specific working waveform diagram is shown in fig. 6.
The two working modes can generate a high-level voltage signal (a continuous or pulsating high-level signal) at a point B, the voltage signal passes through R2 and then is sent to a pin3 of a first voltage comparator U1 to be compared with a reference voltage Vref1, when an input signal of the pin3 is higher than Vref1, because a pull-up resistor R3 is connected to a point C at an output end of U1, a direct-current high-level signal or a square wave pulsating signal is output by a point C at the end C, the signal is rectified by D1, subjected to voltage division by R4 and filtered by C1 and converted into a high-level direct-current signal (a point D) to be detected, and the MCU judges that an LED load is normal when the high-level signal is detected.
As shown in fig. 7 (duty ratio is 100%), and fig. 8 (duty ratio is less than 100%), if the LED load is open at time t1, and no current flows through Q1 and R1 in both of the above two operating modes, there is no voltage drop across RDS and R1, no high-level voltage signal at point B, the input signal of pin3 is lower than Vref1, and the low level is output at point C, which finally results in that the voltage at point D gradually drops to 0V at time t 2. That is to say, if the MUC does not detect a high level signal within a certain settable short time, it determines that the LED load is open, and at this time, it sends out a related instruction to notify the user, so as to implement the function of detecting and alarming the load open. The specific values at the time t1 and the time t2 are not limited, and can be set according to actual application requirements.
When the load short circuit detection is performed, the specific mode is as follows:
as shown in fig. 4, in normal operation (no matter what operation mode), by selecting R1 with a smaller resistance, the voltage drop generated by the load current flowing through both ends of the load current is smaller (point E), and this voltage is filtered by R5 and C2, and a smaller dc level signal is generated at point F, and is smaller than the second predetermined signal source Vref2 (which may be set according to the actual application requirement, for example, may be a reference voltage of 50 mV) at the non-inverting input terminal of the second voltage comparator U2. Therefore, a high level signal is always output at the output end G point of the U2, the high level signal is sent to the MCU for detection, and the MCU judges that the LED load is normal when detecting the high level signal. If the load is short-circuited at a certain time, the voltage drop generated by the short-circuit current flowing through the two ends of R1 increases instantaneously (point E), the voltage is filtered by R5 and C2, the dc level signal at point F increases instantaneously and is greater than the reference voltage Vref2, the comparator is triggered to act, the voltage at point G is pulled down instantaneously, the MCU detects the low level signal (or falling edge signal), the PWM driving signal is pulled down in time, and Q1 is turned off to protect the circuit device, and the specific waveform diagram can be as shown in fig. 9 (waveform during normal operation) and fig. 10 (waveform during short-circuit).
Further, in the application of multi-output constant voltage PWM dimming, whether each path of LED load is open-circuited or short-circuited can be conveniently detected, and the specific scheme is as follows: in the application of multi-path PWM dimming output, the positive terminal of the constant voltage source output is shared, the negative terminal is output through the PWM dimming control circuit, and each path of output is added as long as the LED load detection circuit module identical to the single-path output circuit is added, so that each path of output can be detected and controlled independently without mutual influence, and fig. 11 is an example of a schematic diagram of the application of the two-path output.
To sum up, load detection circuitry and system that this application embodiment provided, open circuit detecting element and short circuit detecting element are connected with the input and the output of first switch element respectively, can realize opening a way with the accurate detection of short circuit to the load, have avoided carrying out open circuit detection and short circuit detection through the voltage signal of switching device output among the prior art, have when the load is very little, the treater does not detect high level signal, misjudge that the LED load is opened a way to and it is big to detect the current resistance loss when load current is great, the temperature rise, the problem that the reliability of load detection that leads to is low.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
