Definitions
- the invention relates to a control and / or regulating means for controlling and / or regulating a light-emitting diode field, with outputs at which control and / or regulating signals for controlling and / or regulating controllable switching elements can be tapped, with switch-on times and / or switch-off times of Pulses by which control signals and / or regulating signals can be defined and one and / or more controllable switching elements can be activated during the determined pulses for closing or opening.
- a circuit arrangement and a method for operating the circuit arrangement are examples of a controllable switching elements.
- the procedure is such that the light-emitting diodes are switched on at the beginning of a clock period of the PWM cycle and switched off after the switch-on period selected to achieve the desired brightness. Switching on takes place simultaneously for all LEDs, switching off can take place for each LED at a different switch-off time, depending on the pulse width of the pulse.
- Such a light emitting diode field is, for example, in newly developed LED headlights with tens of thousands of light emitting diodes within a light diode field.
- the invention was based on the problem of improving a control and / or regulating means of the type mentioned in such a way that a desired light distribution is achieved and at the same time a reduced dynamic in the total current and peak current is achieved.
- the switch-on times and the switch-off times of the LEDs are selected so that not all LEDs are switched on at the same time at the beginning of the clock period.
- a brightness of each light emitting diode rri j of one of the k groups can be controlled by setting a pulse width of the pulse from 0 ... 100% of a clock period and / or setting an amplitude of the pulse.
- the switch-on time and / or switch-off time of the pulse can be determined for each light-emitting diode rrt j of a group as a function of the pulse width and / or the amplitude of the pulse.
- the determined switch-on times and / o the switch-off times of the pulses lie within a predetermined clock period.
- pulse width 100%
- the switch-on time and the switch-off time for each of these pulses can be set to the beginning or the end of a clock period
- the switch-on time and / or switch-off time of the pulse for each light-emitting diode in each Group can be defined or determined in such a way that the total pulse is in the middle within a clock period.
- the sequential arrangement of the impulses makes it possible to generate a more even demand for electricity.
- the sum pulse is also placed in the middle of a clock period.
- a maximum of the current requirement which cannot always be avoided, is also shifted to the middle of a clock period.
- the resulting waveform of the current means that the high peak currents at the beginning of a clock period, as well as steep current increases in a short time, which can lead to EMC problems, can be avoided. It is possible that the number of groups is 2 ⁇ k ⁇ n and the start of a clock period for each group is offset by a time span
- At k is controllable.
- the time period D ⁇ according to the formula At be determinable.
- the start of the clock period is set for all groups offset by ⁇ clock periods. This means that the power consumption of the entire light-emitting diode field is more uniform. As a result, it may be possible that lower requirements can be placed on the supply of the light-emitting diode field.

- the current source can be regulated by the control and / or regulating means, so that the current corresponds to the current requirement of the light-emitting diodes, whose associated controllable switching elements are closed.
- the light-emitting diode field is divided into 2 ⁇ k ⁇ n groups.
- the division into at least 2 groups makes it possible to offset the beginning of a clock period for each group by a period of time D ⁇ and to use the advantages already described.
- the method for operating a circuit arrangement according to the invention has at least the following steps:
- the switch-on time and the switch-off time for each of these pulses is set to the beginning or the end of a clock period
- control and / or regulating means checks which pulses have a pulse width ⁇ 100%
- control and / or regulating means determines the switch-on time and / or switch-off time of the pulse for each light-emitting diode in each group in such a way that the sum pulse lies centrally within a clock period
- the control and / or regulating means controls the controllable switching elements for the determined switch-on time and / or switch-off time of the pulses for closing or opening.
- the method for operating a circuit arrangement according to the invention which is particularly suitable for performing before performing the method described above, has at least the following steps:
- control or regulating means determines the pulse widths for each light emitting diode in a group or the pulse widths are transferred to the control and / or regulating means
- control and / or regulating means determines the largest pulse width
- the brightness distribution which is usually determined in advance, remains the same with this approach.
- the total current required by the light-emitting diode field can become more uniform over a clock period. It is also possible to reduce the maximum current.

- a second output 10 is connected to the controllable current source 8. Via this second output 10, the control and / or regulating means 9 can send a signal to the controllable current source 8 in order to set the current to be supplied by the current source 8.
- the control and / or regulating means 9 is set up in such a way that the light-emitting diodes 3 have a desired brightness.
- controllable switching element 5 assigned to a light-emitting diode 3 is controlled to close within a clock period until the light-emitting diode 3 has produced the desired brightness.
