- FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 illustrate schematic diagrams of a stabilization system for a controllable dimmer according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

- the stabilization system aims at neutralizing the compatibility issue between the LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs for small scale of power and the conventional TRAIC dimmer that is designed for large scale of power.
- the disclosed current controller acts as the core of fulfilling the stabilization system's functions.
- FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 illustrate schematic diagrams of a stabilization system 100 for a controllable dimmer according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the stabilization system 100 includes an AC (Alternating Current) power supply 10, a TRIAC dimmer circuit 20, a load conversion circuit 30 and a current controller CP.
- AC Alternating Current
- the AC power supply 10 provides an AC voltage.
- the stabilization system 100 also includes a rectifier 11 that is electrically coupled to the TRAIC dimmer circuit 20.
- the rectifier 11 rectifies a drive power associated by the AC voltage.
- the rectifier 11 rectifies the drive power via half-bridge rectification or full-bridge rectification. In this way, the AC voltage's negative voltage levels are transformed into positive voltage levels that have same absolute amplitudes in voltage level.
- the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 is electrically coupled to the AC power supply 10. Also, the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 dynamically generates a drive power, e.g., by filtering, for aiding the load conversion circuit 30 in driving an external illuminating unit 60.
- the TRAIC dimmer circuit 20 includes a variable resistor 21, a constant resistor 22, a DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current) switch 24, a capacitor 23 and a TRIAC element 25.
- the variable resistor 21's first terminal is electrically coupled to the AC power supply 10.
- the constant resistor 22's first terminal is electrically coupled to a second terminal of the variable resistor 21.
- the DIAC switch 24's first terminal is electrically coupled to a second terminal of the constant resistor 22.
- the capacitor 23's first terminal is electrically coupled to a second terminal of the DIAC switch 24.
- the capacitor 23's second terminal is electrically coupled to the load conversion circuit 30.
- the TRIAC element 25's trigger terminal is electrically coupled to a switch terminal of the DIAC switch 24.
- the TRIAC element 25's input terminal is electrically coupled to the AC power supply 10 and the first terminal of the variable resistor 21.
- the TRIAC element 25's output terminal is electrically coupled to the load conversion circuit 30 and a second terminal of the capacitor 23.
- the DIAC switch 24 triggers the TRIAC element 25 when a cross voltage of the capacitor 23 exceeds an activating threshold of the DIAC switch 24. Additionally, the TRIAC element 25 powers up the load conversion circuit 30 while being triggered by the DIAC switch 24.
- variable resistor 21 As the variable resistor 21's resistance increases, a current flowing through the capacitor 23 decreases, such that the capacitor 23's cross voltage reaches the DIAC switch 24's trigger voltage in a slower manner. In turn, the TRIAC element 25 is corresponding conducted in a slower manner. As a result, the AC voltage from the AC power supply 10 will not be fully used in each of its duration (i.e., has some phase loss). Moreover, the drive power relayed to the load conversion circuit 30 decreases. And the illuminating unit 60's luminance decreases in response. In this way, the illuminating unit 60 can be substantially prevented from undesired power consumption.
- the TRAIC dimmer circuit 25 is implemented using a forward phase controller or a reverse phase controller.
- the load conversion circuit 30 is electrically coupled to the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20. In addition, the load conversion circuit 30 filters noises off the drive power and drives the external LED unit 60 using the filtered drive power.
- the current controller CP is electrically coupled to the AC power supply 10, the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 and the load conversion circuit 30. Besides, the current controller CP detects an activating phase of the AC voltage from the drive power. Specifically, during the activating phase, the TRAIC dimmer circuit 20 receives power from the AC power supply 10. Moreover, the current controller CP keeps a sum of a buffer current Itc of the current controller CP and a load current load of the load conversion circuit 30 to (1) approximate a predetermined critical current value and to (2) exceed an operating current loop of the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 in response to the detected activating phase of the AC voltage. Additionally, the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 dynamically generates the drive power using the AC voltage and the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20's operating current loop in response to the activating phase of the AC voltage.
- the current controller CP includes a buffer current source TC, a buffer switch SW, a test resistor RT, a phase detection module 40 and a current compensation module 50.
- the current controller CP can be exemplarily implemented using a programmable processor, such as at least one or a combination of a microprocessor, a digital signal processor (DSP), a programmable controller, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and a RF (Radio-Frequency) SOC (System-On-Chip) system.
- the current controller CP may equip with a storage unit for storing parameters or failure records.
- the storage unit can be exemplarily implemented using an EEPROM (Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory).
- the buffer current source TC is electrically coupled to the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 and the load conversion circuit 30.
- the buffer switch SW's drain terminal is electrically coupled to the buffer current source TC for conducting a buffer current Itc or not.
- the test resistor RT's first terminal is electrically coupled to the load conversion circuit 30.
- the test resistor RT's second terminal is electrically coupled to the AC power supply 10.
- the phase detection module 50's first terminal is electrically coupled to the TRAIC dimmer circuit 20.
- the phase detection module 50's second terminal is electrically coupled to a control terminal of the buffer switch SW.
- the current compensation module 50's sample terminal is electrically coupled to the load conversion circuit 30 and the first terminal of the test resistor RT.
- the current compensation module 50's compensation terminal is electrically coupled to a control terminal of the buffer current source TC.
- the phase detection module 40 detects the activating phase of the AC voltage. Therefore, the phase detection module 40 is capable of controlling the current compensation module 50's output period to limit its current consumption to a duration during which the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 receives a current from the AC power supply 10. For such purpose, the phase detection module 40 activates the buffer switch SW in response to the activating phase of the AC voltage.
- the current compensation module 50 receives the load current load from the load conversion circuit 30. Moreover, the current compensation module 50 generates a compensation control signal CC to the control terminal of the buffer current source TC, such that the current compensation module 50 activates or deactivates the buffer current source TC in a manner that keeps the sum of the buffer current Itc and the load current load to approximate the predetermined critical current value and to exceed the operating current loop.
- the current compensation module 50 also renders the compensation control signal CC to deactivate the buffer current source TC when the load current load is larger than the predetermined critical current value. That is, when the current compensation module 50 confirms that the sum of the buffer current Itc and the load current load is sufficient to activate the TRIAC element 25, the current compensation module 50 switches off the buffer current source TC's output current for efficient current/power consumption of both the AC power supply 10 and the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20.
- the current compensation module 50 includes a voltage follower 51, an error amplifier 52, and a voltage divider 511.
- the voltage follower 51's first input terminal is electrically coupled to its output terminal.
- the error amplifier 52's first input terminal is electrically coupled to the output terminal of the voltage follower 51.
- the error amplifier 52's second input terminal is electrically coupled to the load conversion circuit 30 and the first terminal of the test resistor RT.
- the error amplifier 52's output terminal is electrically coupled to the control terminal of the buffer current source TC.
- the voltage divider 511's voltage dividing terminal is electrically coupled to a second input terminal of the voltage follower 51.
- the voltage divider 511's ground terminal is electrically coupled to ground.
- the voltage divider 511's power terminal is electrically coupled to a direct-current (DC) voltage source VD
- the voltage divider 511 includes two resistors 5111 and 5112 connected in series for generating a divided constant voltage VDS based on the DC voltage source VD
- the voltage divider 511's voltage dividing terminal is located at the intersection of the resistors 5111 and 5112 for relaying the divided voltage VDS to the voltage follower 51's second input terminal. It is noted that the divided voltage VDS corresponds to the predetermined critical value that a sum of the currents load and Itc should not exceed.
- the current compensation module 50 further includes a capacitor 512.
- the capacitor 512's first terminal is electrically coupled to the first input terminal of the error amplifier 52.
- the capacitor 512's second terminal is electrically coupled to the ground terminal of the voltage divider 511.
- the combination of the capacitor 512, the error amplifier 52 and the voltage divider 511 forms a stable voltage source that has a high input impedance and a low output impedance, such that the current compensation module 50 can operate in a more stable manner.
- the error amplifier 52 continuously and substantially compares the divided voltage VDS and the test resistor RT's cross voltage VRT for dynamically determining the compensation control signal CC and in turn for activating or deactivating the buffer switch SW. In this way, by appropriately setting the divided voltage VDS (e.g., by adjusting the resistor 5111 and 5112's resistances), the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20's operating current loop can be steadily controlled and maintained.
- the stabilization system 100 additionally includes another voltage divider RS.
- the voltage divider RS's first terminal is electrically coupled to the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20 and the load conversion circuit 30.
- the voltage divider RS's second terminal is electrically coupled to the AC power supply 10 and the second terminal of the test resistor RT.
- the voltage divider RS' voltage dividing terminal is electrically coupled to the first terminal of the phase detection module 40.
- the voltage divider RS has two resistors RS1 and RS2 connected in series.
- the resistors RS1 and RS2's intersection generates a corresponding divided voltage VRS that is then relayed to the phase detection module 40 for detecting the activating phase of the AC voltage.
- the illuminating unit 60 that is driven by the load conversion circuit 30 (via the drive power/operating current from the TRIAC dimmer circuit 20) will not have flickers in its luminance and can be efficient in its consumed current/power.
