Description

"Schaltung zum Betrieb eines Lumineszenz-Halbleiterbauelementes" Die vorliegende Erfindung bet.rifrt eine Schaltung zum Betrieb eines Lumineszenz-Halbleiterbauelementes. Bei Lumineszenz-Halbleiterbauelementen wird meistens eine gleichmäßige Lichtstärke gefordert. Da die Lumineszenz-Bauelemente jedoch je nach Kundenwunsch an verschiedene Spannungen angeschlossen erden sollen, muß ihnen ein Widerstand vorgeschaltet werden, der die Stromstärke auf einen Wert begrenzt, bei der das Element z. £. bei einem Strom von 20 mA die gewünschte Lichtstärke aufweist. "Circuit for operating a luminescence semiconductor component" The present invention relates to a circuit for operating a luminescent semiconductor component. In the case of luminescence semiconductor components, a uniform light intensity is usually used required. Since the luminescent components, however, depending on customer requirements, to different Voltages are to be connected to earth, a resistor must be connected upstream of them, which limits the current strength to a value at which the element z. £. at a Current of 20 mA has the desired light intensity.

Es wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, in das Gehäuse für ein Lumineszenz-Halbleiterbauelement ein Widerstandsnetzwerk einzubauen und das Lumineszenz-Bauelei-aent jeweils an den Widerstand anzuschließen, der der gewünschten Betriebsspannung für die Gesamtanordnung entspricht. Der Ziundc erhält so Lumineszenz-Bauelemente, die dann beispielsweise für eine Betriebsspannung von 5, 9 oder 12 Volt geeignet sind.It has already been proposed in the housing for a luminescence semiconductor component to build in a resistor network and to connect the luminescence component to the To connect resistor, the desired operating voltage for the overall arrangement is equivalent to. The Ziundc thus receives luminescent components, which then for example are suitable for an operating voltage of 5, 9 or 12 volts.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schaltung anzugeben1 durch die ein Lumineszenz-Halbleiterbauelement bei gleichbleibender Lichtstärke an unterschiedliche Betriebsspannungen angelegt werden kann.The present invention is based on the object of a circuit to specify1 through which a luminescence semiconductor component with constant light intensity can be applied to different operating voltages.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemaß dadurch gelöst, daß in Reihe zu dem Lumineszenz-Halbleiterbauelement eine Konstantstromquelle geschaltet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that in series to a constant current source is connected to the luminescence semiconductor component.

Die Konstantstromquelle und das Lumineszenz-llalbleiterbauelement pferden vorzugsweise in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse untergebracht. Während früher für jede Betriebsspannung entweder ein geeigneter Widerstand dem Leuchtelement vorgeschaltet werden mußte oder bei bereits eingebautem Widerstand jeweils eine der Betriebsspannung entsprechende Type ausgewählt werden mußte, kann nun ein Bauelement bei stark unters chisdli chen Betriebsspannungen betrieben werden, ohne daß sich die Lichtstärke des Bnuelementes spürbar verändert.The constant current source and the luminescent semiconductor component horses preferably housed in a common housing. While earlier For each operating voltage, either a suitable resistor is connected upstream of the light-emitting element had to be or with an already built-in resistor one of the operating voltage If the corresponding type had to be selected, a component can now be used if the chisdli chen operating voltages can be operated without affecting the light intensity of the Bnuelementes changed noticeably.

Als I,umineszenz-Ialble3terbauel.emente werden meist Leuchtdioden verwenden; beispielsweise handelt es sich um eine rotleuchtende GaAsP-Diode. Aus Kostengründen wird eine möglichst billige und einfache Konstantstromquelle gefordert. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Schaltung besteht die Konstantstromquelle aus einem Feldeffekttransistor. Besonders geeignet sind Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistoren. Bei diesen Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistoren wird der steuerbare Kanal-Strompfad in Reihe zu der Leuchtdiode gescllaltet. Der Halbleitergrundkörper und die Steuerelektrode sind dann mit einer der Hauptelektroden an dem steuerbaren Strompfad verbunden.Light-emitting diodes are usually used as the uminescence-Ialble3terbauel.emente use; for example, it is a red-glowing GaAsP diode. the end For reasons of cost, a constant current source that is as cheap and simple as possible is required. In a preferred embodiment of the circuit according to the invention, there is Constant current source from a field effect transistor. Are particularly suitable Junction field effect transistors. In these junction field effect transistors, the controllable channel current path connected in series to the light emitting diode. The semiconductor body and the control electrode are then connected to one of the main electrodes on the controllable current path.

Als Konstantstromquelle können auch andere Sclialtungen ver endet werden, wobei dann die Bauelemente dieser Schaltung vorzugsweise in einem gemeinsamen Halbleiterkörper untergebracht werden.Other connections can also be used as a constant current source are, the components of this circuit then preferably in a common Semiconductor body are housed.

Die Konstantstromquelle und das Lumineszenz-Halbleiterbauelement werden in ein herkömmliches Leuchtdiodengehäuse eingebaut. In das Gehäuse führen beispielsweise zwei Elektrodenzuleitungen. Auf dem Ende cbr einen Elektro dciizuleitung im Gehäuseinneren wird beispielsweise der die Leuchtdiode enthaltende Halbleiterkörper befestigt, während auf dem Ende der anderen Elektrodenzuleitung der die Konstandstomquelle enthaltende Halbleiterköper befestigt wird. Über einen Verbindungsdraht werden die beiden Bauelementc zueinander in Reihe geschaltet. Die beiden Elektrodenzuleitungen sind dann für den Anschluß an die beiden Pole der Versorgungsspannungsquelle vorgesehen.The constant current source and the luminescent semiconductor component are built into a conventional light-emitting diode housing. For example, lead into the housing two electrode leads. On the end there is an electric cable inside the housing for example, the semiconductor body containing the light-emitting diode is attached, while the constant current source is on the end of the other electrode lead containing semiconductor body is attached. The two components connected in series to one another. The two electrode leads are then intended for connection to the two poles of the supply voltage source.

Die Erfindung soll im weiteren noch anhand von Ausfüh@ungs beispielen näher erläutert werden.The invention is to be further illustrated by examples are explained in more detail.

In der Figur l ist eine Reihenschaltung aus eine Leuchtdiode DL und einem Sperrschicht-Feldeffekt transistor T dargestellt. Die Leuchtdiode wird in Durchlaßrichtung betrioben und beispielswoise mit dem Massepol der Versorgungsspannungsquelle verbunden. Der Feldeffekttransistor ist bei der vorgesehenen Polarität der Diode ein p-Kanal-Transistor, dessen Steuerelektrode G und Substrat K mit der Quellelektrode S kurzgeschlossen und mit dem positiven Pol der Spannungsquelle verbunden ist. Der Kurzschluß zwischen der Zug und der Quellelektrode liegt vorzugsweise bei. 20 mit.In the figure l is a series circuit of a light emitting diode DL and a junction field effect transistor T shown. The light emitting diode is in Forward direction operated and for example with the ground pole of the supply voltage source tied together. The field effect transistor is at the intended polarity of the diode a p-channel transistor, its control electrode G and substrate K with the source electrode S is short-circuited and connected to the positive pole of the voltage source.

Bei Verwendung eines n-Kanal-Feldeffekttransistors wird die Steuerelektrode und das Substrat zusammen mit der Quellelektrode an die Diode DL angeschlossen.When using an n-channel field effect transistor, the control electrode and the substrate is connected to the diode DL together with the source electrode.

Die U-I-Kennlinie der Gesamtanordnung nach Figur 1. ist in der Figur 2 dargestellt.The U-I characteristic curve of the overall arrangement according to FIG. 1 is shown in the figure 2 shown.

Zunächst steigt der Strom bei zunehmender Betriebsspannun stark an und erreicht bei ca. 8 Volt einen maximalen Wert von 20 mA. Mit weiter steigender Betriebsspannung nimmt der Strom dann wieder ab. Im Bereich zwischen 4 Volt und 25 Volt weischt der Strom von seinem maximalen Sollwert nur um höchstens 20 % ab. Diese Abweichung ist jedoch zulässig und hat auf die Lichtstärke des Leuchtelementes Figur einen kaum wahrnehmbaren Eii'fiuß. Die in der Figur j dargestellte Schaltungsanordnung kann daher bedenkenlos an Betriebsspannungen zwischen 4 und 25 Volt angeschlossen werden.First of all, the current rises sharply as the operating voltage increases and reaches a maximum value of 20 mA at approx. 8 volts. With increasing Operating voltage, the current then decreases again. In the range between 4 volts and At 25 volts, the current deviates from its maximum setpoint by a maximum of 20%. However, this deviation is permissible and has a bearing on the light intensity of the light element Figure a barely noticeable flow. The one shown in Figure j Circuit arrangement can therefore be safely connected to operating voltages between 4 and 25 volts will.

Auf dem stirnseitigen Ende der Elektrodenzuleitung 3 ist der Feldeffekttransistor T befestigt. Die Quellelektrode S ist, ebenso wie der p-leiten@e Grundkörper und die Steuerelektrode, an die e Zuleitung 3 angeschlossen. Bei der genannten Zonenfolge der Diode ist der an den positiven Pol der Spannungsquelle über die Zuleitung 3 anzuschließende Halbleiterkörper n-leitend Die Steuerzone ist dann gleichfalls n-leitend, oder die Steuerelektrode besteht aus einem Schottky-Kontakt.In FIG. 3, the housing for the overall arrangement is in section shown.
