Pre preferably this applies to several, in particular pulse follow all clock ⁇ that the control of the LEDs Bulb 12 serve.
- a plurality of light-emitting diodes of the light-emitting means 12 can also be operated simultaneously with a clock pulse sequence in order to limit the number of different clock pulse sequences.
- one aspect of the invention is to be able to achieve a largely constant temporal constant power consumption.
- peak currents and amplitudes of current jumps can be reduced, as a result of which the transient demands on the buck converter 14 also decrease.
- the efficiency of the buck converter 14 ver ⁇ be improved.
- Fig. 5 shows, for example, two superimposed temporal diagrams in which a current waveform over time for a total current of three light-emitting diodes is shown schematically, which are controlled according to the lower diagram accordingly. It can be seen that, in a short time interval at the beginning of the time interval tp WM, a current is set at three times the current of a single light-emitting diode.
- Fig. 6 shows a Dar- position as shown in FIG. 5, but in contrast to Figure 5, the operating times of the three LEDs corresponding offset so that they do not overlap.
- ⁇ is the current waveform shown in Fig. 6 in the upper diagram, which only requires a current demand in the amount of the current of a light emitting diode.
- the motivation is to reduce the requirements for the buck converter 14 by avoiding large current jumps.
- Fig. 7 shows two superimposed diagrams parent, wherein the change from an operating state I to a Be ⁇ operating state II of the luminous means 12 is to be achieved.
- the current consumption of the luminous means 12 is shown, whereas in the lower diagram of FIG. 7, the corresponding control signals for the light-emitting diodes are shown.
- an intermediate image ZI is first produced with a first Steuersig ⁇ nal, which 12 has a power consumption of the lighting means result which is greater than that of the operating state I, but smaller than that of the operation state II.
- a second intermediate image Z2 is activated, which results in a current consumption of the luminous means 12 which is greater than that of the intermediate image ZI, but smaller than that of the operating state II.
- an intermediate image Z3 is generated, which results in a current consumption of the luminous means 12 which is greater than that of the intermediate image Z2 but smaller than that of the operating state II. Only in a following cycle, the operating state II is reached. By this measure, a steep and large current increase and the This burden to be avoided.
- the cycle time is about 5 ms.
- This refinement is suitable, for example, for the case of using the vehicle headlight in the context of a light horn function. It uses the relationship between a PWM cycle and a temporal requirement within the vehicle headlight application. For an example cycle time of 5 ms and a time span of 50 ms. Accordingly, there is a possible ⁇ ness for the achievement of the new operating state to use 10 intermediate images or pulse pattern for the transition from one mode to the other mode, so as to reduce an amplitude of current jumps. It follows that a significant change in the operating state, a gradual approach is realized by intermediate states in the form of pulse patterns. This procedure can also, as shown in Fig. 8, be used for switching on the vehicle ⁇ headlamp. Fig.
- FIG. 8 shows two superimposed diagrams representing the switching on of the vehicle headlamp over time.
- the respective current of the luminous means 12 is shown over the time when the light-emitting diodes are correspondingly controlled according to the lower diagram. It can be seen that in this case a large current jump occurs at the time of switching on at time t e in.
- FIG. 9 now shows two diagrams as in FIG. 8, whereby again an on-state is shown, but this is configured according to the invention is. It can be seen that the light-emitting diodes LED1 to LED3 not, as in the embodiment of FIG. 8, at the same time at the time t e i n are turned on, only the light emitting diode LED1. Only in a following cycle is then additionally the LED LED2 and in a ⁇ subsequent cycle, the LED LED3 turned on. It can be seen in the upper diagram of FIG. 9, a corresponding staircase-like increase in the current waveform. As a result, the large current jumps, as they arise when switching on according to FIG. 8, are avoided.
- a further embodiment of the invention results from the fact that pulse patterns for the realization of intermediate images are not linearly interpolated in order, for example, to correspond to the nature of the human eye and to be able to provide an ergonomically favorable, visual impression.
- 10 shows a schematic view of a two-part register set.
- the register set shown in FIG. 10 includes a write Regis ⁇ ter Wr_reg into which serial data are written. Each bit of this register represents the operating state of a single light-emitting diode.
- the write register Wr_reg has an input terminal DATA and a clock input CLK. In a known manner, data is written to the write register serially.
- the register set of FIG. 10 further includes a work register Work_reg connected to the write register which is connected to the write register Wr_reg.
- the data written to the write register is transferred to corresponding memory cells of the work register Work_reg, by applying a corresponding strobe signal to a corresponding control input. This signal is indicated in FIG. 10 with an update. records.
- the entspre ⁇ sponding switching elements are connected to supply current to the corresponding light-emitting diodes. If the register contents of the work register Work_reg contains a logic 1, the correspondingly associated light-emitting diode current is beauf ⁇ strike, so that it generates light.
- the appropriately associated light emitting diode is not energized.
- an individual clock pulse sequence in this case PWM, can be mapped for each light-emitting diode.
- the Häre ⁇ register Work_reg has a clock input CLK, which can be preferably controlled by the same clock signal as the Schreibre ⁇ gister Wr_reg.
- the upper quadratic block shows, column by column, the logical values for the respective light-emitting diodes contained in the work register Work_reg at the respective times in accordance with one exemplary embodiment.
- the Darge in block ⁇ set values can of course be adjusted accordingly as needed for desired produce a light output of the light bulb 12th
- a line is shown, in which the lo ⁇ gisch normalized current sum is shown. Below this line is a legend for the different characters in the top block.
- Fig. 11 is a time with a vertical arrow marked. At this time, all eight LEDs are turned on simultaneously. In subsequent ⁇ points in time, the number of active LEDs gradually reduced so that the including DAR Asked normalized current loads result.
- Fig. 12 now shows an arrangement as shown in FIG. 11, but in this arrangement, provided for the light emitting diode clock pulse trains are mutually temporally shifted.
- Fig. 12 that, when there Darge ⁇ easily shift the normalized current sum in each clock cycle between the values of 3 and 5.
- equalization of the current consumption of the light-emitting means 12 can be achieved.
- the current sum line shown under the block in FIG. 12 shows that the current sum values 0 to 2 and 6 to 8 do not occur. This is advantageous for the current load of the remaining circuit, in particular of the control device 10.
- FIGS. 13 and 14 show a comparison of a switching on of the lighting means 12.
- FIG. 13 shows a switch-on process for three light-emitting diodes of the lighting means 12, which are switched on together in a conventional manner, and from a 0 power to a 87.5% power.
- Blocks are shown with logical switching values, as have already been explained with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. In the present case, only three LEDs are provided, which are switched accordingly. Basically, however, this is applicable to an arbitrary number of light-emitting diodes.
- the three light-emitting diodes are not switched on at the same time at the same time.
- the Dar ⁇ position in Fig. 14 basically corresponds to the depicting ⁇ lung in Fig. 13, for which reason this regard reference is made additionally to FIGS. 13.
- a left block in FIG. 14 all three LEDs are turned off over the entire PWM period. In the transition from the left block to the block adjacent to the right, only the uppermost LED LED_0 is initially switched on, with a duty cycle as in FIG. 13. Below the block, as in FIG. 13, the average current is again normalized PWM cycle shown.
- the switching-on load jump as occurs in FIG. 13, by the control according to FIG. 14, that is to say a sequential connection of Light emitting diodes, can be reduced.
- the load ie the current, changes its value stepwise from 0 to the value in the switched-on state, in accordance with the light-emitting diodes connected in each subsequent cycle.
- the switch-on of the light emitting diode ⁇ are thus shifted in time, in this embodiment each by a PWM cycle.
- the sequenced ⁇ tielle displacement of the switch-on times of the Leuchtdi ⁇ oden is also present alintestin re- by the clock 22nd
- FIGS. 15 and 16 relate to the dimming of light-emitting diodes of the luminous means 12 likewise on the basis of three selected light-emitting diodes.
- FIG. 15 shows a conventional switch-on process, schematically illustrated in logical block representation of eight PWM cycles which follow one another directly. Below the respective blocks per a ⁇ stays awhile normalized current sum is again shown, wherein the normalized sum current cycle referred to herein is based on the respective clock cycle. It can be seen that, as in FIG. 13, the first left block at the top of FIG. 15 is zeroed so that the light emitting diodes are turned off in this PWM cycle.
- FIG. 16 now shows a switch-on process as in FIG. 15, in which case the three light-emitting diodes are dimmed accordingly.
- the left upper block is again a switched PWM cycle in which all three LEDs are oriented ⁇ on. It is adjoined on the right by a block in which a switch-on process is initiated. It can be seen that the three LEDs are first jointly turned stale ⁇ tet for a first cycle of the PWM cycle, whereby a first intermediate image is given. In the remaining seven clocks of the PWM cycle, the LEDs are switched off.
- a white ⁇ more excellent block includes right adjacent to, wherein said light emitting diodes are turned on already at two successive clock periods, thereby generating a second intermediate image is ge ⁇ give.
- the remaining clocks of this PWM cycle are switched off again for all three diodes.
- It follows right adjacent a fourth PWM cycle which begins with the three LEDs are turned on with the first three cycles of the PWM cycle, whereby a third interim ⁇ is given rule image.
- four further PWM cycles follow immediately thereafter in a lower block diagram, in which the switched-on state with a consecutive number of PWM cycles is lengthened by one clock and the corresponding intermediate images are formed .
- the switching state is reached as in FIG. 13 in the right block.
- An extreme load jump can also be avoided if the brightness values of the LEDs can be interpolated or dimmed.
- the dimming of the Light-emitting diodes can likewise be realized by the clock generator 22.
- An advantage of the described technical features is that a reduction of requirements for the buck converter 14 can be achieved.
- the Dyna ⁇ dynamics are reduced.
- shifting the PWM cycles of the individual light-emitting diodes relative to one another a reduction of the maximum sum current to be provided over the entire light-emitting diode structure of the light-emitting means 12 results.
