Description
本発明は、LED調光回路に関し、特に、LEDが受信する電流と調光信号に放物線状の非線形曲線を呈させるLED調光回路に関する。 The present invention relates to an LED dimming circuit, and more particularly to an LED dimming circuit that exhibits a parabolic nonlinear curve in the current and dimming signal received by the LED.
発光ダイオード(Light Emitting Diode:LED)は、体積が小さく、消費電力が低く、発光効率が高く、寿命が長い等の利点を有するため、様々な電子製品の表示装置に広く応用されている。一般的に、LEDは、LED調光回路により調光をする必要があり、LED調光回路に様々な調光方式があり、そのうち、PWM調光方式が最も常用されている調光方式の1つである。 Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have advantages such as small volume, low power consumption, high luminous efficiency, and long lifetime, and thus are widely applied to display devices of various electronic products. In general, LEDs need to be dimmed by an LED dimming circuit, and there are various dimming methods in the LED dimming circuit. Among them, the PWM dimming method is one of the most commonly used dimming methods. One.
PWM調光方式では、従来のLED調光回路内に単一のスイッチモジュールを有し、PWM調光はLED調光回路が受信するPWM調光信号のデューティ比を変化することで、該スイッチモジュールの動作を制御し、LED調光回路が出力したLED電流基準信号を調整することにより、LED駆動回路に、LED電流基準信号に基づいて、対応する出力電流を出力させ、LED輝度を調整する目的を達成する。つまり、LED駆動回路が出力する出力電流がLED電流基準信号と対応関係にある。 In the PWM dimming method, the conventional LED dimming circuit has a single switch module, and the PWM dimming is performed by changing the duty ratio of the PWM dimming signal received by the LED dimming circuit. By adjusting the LED current reference signal output by the LED dimming circuit by controlling the operation of the LED, the LED drive circuit outputs the corresponding output current based on the LED current reference signal, and the LED brightness is adjusted To achieve. That is, the output current output from the LED drive circuit has a corresponding relationship with the LED current reference signal.
図1は、従来のLED調光回路がPWM調光方式にて調光する際に、従来のLED調光回路が受信するPWM調光信号とLEDに提供される出力電流の調光曲線図である。図1に示すように、従来のLED調光回路が受信するPWM調光信号とLEDに提供される出力電流の理想的な調光曲線は逆線形関係にある。つまり、従来のLED調光回路は、比較器によりPWM調光信号を逆方向にした後スイッチモジュールに供給することにより、PWM調光信号のデューティ比が0%となった場合に、LEDは、LED駆動回路が出力した100%の出力電流を対応して受信する一方、PWM調光信号が90%である場合に、LEDは、10%の出力電流を対応して受信する。しかし、実際的には、図1に示すように、従来のLED調光回路が受信するPWM調光信号のデューティ比が0%〜5%で変化する場合に、他の回路機能が追加されたため、実際の出力電流は100%であり、PWM調光信号が5%〜100%で変化する場合に、出力電流は100%〜0%で変化し、こういう段階は、逆線形関係である。 Fig. 1 is a dimming curve diagram of the PWM dimming signal received by the conventional LED dimming circuit and the output current provided to the LED when the conventional LED dimming circuit dimmes using the PWM dimming method. is there. As shown in FIG. 1, the ideal dimming curve of the PWM dimming signal received by the conventional LED dimming circuit and the output current provided to the LED has an inverse linear relationship. In other words, the conventional LED dimming circuit, when the PWM dimming signal is reversed by the comparator and then supplied to the switch module, when the duty ratio of the PWM dimming signal becomes 0%, the LED While the 100% output current output by the LED driving circuit is received correspondingly, when the PWM dimming signal is 90%, the LED receives 10% output current correspondingly. However, in practice, as shown in Figure 1, when the duty ratio of the PWM dimming signal received by the conventional LED dimming circuit varies between 0% and 5%, other circuit functions have been added. The actual output current is 100%, and when the PWM dimming signal changes from 5% to 100%, the output current changes from 100% to 0%, and these stages have an inverse linear relationship.
しかし、図1から分かるように、従来のLED調光回路が受信するPWM調光信号とLEDに提供される出力電流の調光曲線が逆線形関係の曲線であるため、ユーザがノブ式調光器等のデバイスによりLED輝度を調整する必要がある際に、調光器が送信したPWM調光信号のデューティが比較的小さく、出力電流が比較的大きい場合に、LEDの輝度変化は遅すぎる一方、PWM調光信号のデューティが比較的大きく、出力電流が比較的小さい場合に、LEDの輝度変化は早すぎる。それにより、調光効果が不良となる。 However, as can be seen from Fig. 1, the PWM dimming signal received by the conventional LED dimming circuit and the dimming curve of the output current provided to the LED are curves with an inverse linear relationship, so the user can do knob type dimming When it is necessary to adjust the LED brightness by a device such as a lighting device, if the duty of the PWM dimming signal transmitted by the dimmer is relatively small and the output current is relatively large, the LED brightness change is too slow. When the duty of the PWM dimming signal is relatively large and the output current is relatively small, the brightness change of the LED is too early. Thereby, the dimming effect becomes poor.
さらに、従来のLED調光回路が受信する調光信号のデューティ比は、実際には、最大90%のみであるため、出力電流を10%にしか調整できず、つまり、従来のLED調光回路の出力電流の調整範囲は10%〜100%だけである。科学技術の発展に伴い、LEDの発光効率がますます向上してきており、同様の輝度では、より小さい出力電流であればよいため、LED調光回路について、調光器が送信する調光信号のデューティ比の変化範囲が変化しない場合に、LED電流基準信号によりLED駆動回路が出力する出力電流の調整範囲を10%-100%から、例えば1%-100%に広げることが期待されている。しかし、従来のLED調光回路は、需要を満たすことができない。 Furthermore, the duty ratio of the dimming signal received by the conventional LED dimming circuit is actually only 90% at maximum, so the output current can only be adjusted to 10%, that is, the conventional LED dimming circuit The output current adjustment range is only 10% ~ 100%. With the development of science and technology, the luminous efficiency of LEDs has been further improved. For similar brightness, a smaller output current is sufficient. When the change range of the duty ratio does not change, it is expected that the adjustment range of the output current output from the LED drive circuit by the LED current reference signal is expanded from 10% -100% to, for example, 1% -100%. However, conventional LED dimming circuits cannot meet the demand.
以上の事情を鑑みて、上記の従来技術を改良することができるLED調光回路を開発することは、本発明の解決しようとする問題である。 In view of the above circumstances, it is a problem to be solved by the present invention to develop an LED dimming circuit that can improve the above-described conventional technology.
本発明は、LED調光回路を提供することにより、従来のLED調光回路の調光効果が不良で、LEDが受信する出力電流の調整範囲が狭すぎるため需要を満たすことができない等の問題を解決することを目的とする。 The present invention provides an LED dimming circuit, and the dimming effect of the conventional LED dimming circuit is poor, and the adjustment range of the output current received by the LED is too narrow to meet the demand.

Various modifications of the embodiments of the invention should be included within the scope of the invention. The description and drawings relating to the embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative of the present invention and do not limit the present invention.
図2は、本発明第1の好ましい実施例のLED調光回路の回路ブロック図である。図2に示すように、本発明のLED調光回路1は、調光回路への入力信号となる第1のPWM信号P1を受信し、第1のPWM信号Pに基づいて、LED調光回路1の信号出力端で対応するLED電流基準信号S1を出力することにより、LED調光回路1に電気的接続されているLED駆動回路(図示せず)は、LED電流基準信号S1に基づいて、対応する出力電流を出力して、LED(図示せず)を駆動し、LEDの輝度を調整する。ここで、LED電流基準信号S1とLED駆動回路が出力する出力電流とが比例してもよい。 FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram of the LED dimming circuit of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the LED dimming circuit 1 of the present invention receives the first PWM signal P1 as an input signal to the dimming circuit, and based on the first PWM signal P, the LED dimming circuit By outputting the corresponding LED current reference signal S1 at the signal output terminal of 1, the LED drive circuit (not shown) electrically connected to the LED dimming circuit 1 is based on the LED current reference signal S1, A corresponding output current is output to drive an LED (not shown) and adjust the brightness of the LED. Here, the LED current reference signal S1 and the output current output from the LED driving circuit may be proportional.
本実施例において、LED調光回路1は、第1の信号調整回路10、第1の分岐回路11、第2の分岐回路12、第3の抵抗R3、及び第1のキャパシタンスC1を含む。第1の信号調整回路10は、第1のPWM信号P1を受信し、第1のPWM信号P1を第2のPWM信号P2に変換し、ここで、第1のPWM信号P1は、第2のPWM信号P2と相補であり、つまり、第1のPWM信号P1がハイレベルである場合に、第2のPWM信号P2がローレベルであり、逆に、第1のPWM信号P1がローレベルである場合に、第2のPWM信号P2がハイレベルである。また、第1の信号調整回路10は、比較器をさらに含み、比較器は、第1のPWM信号P1を逆方向にする。なお、本発明はこの限りではない。 In the present embodiment, the LED dimming circuit 1 includes a first signal adjustment circuit 10, a first branch circuit 11, a second branch circuit 12, a third resistor R3, and a first capacitance C1. The first signal adjustment circuit 10 receives the first PWM signal P1 and converts the first PWM signal P1 into the second PWM signal P2, where the first PWM signal P1 is the second PWM signal P1 Complementary to the PWM signal P2, that is, when the first PWM signal P1 is high level, the second PWM signal P2 is low level, and conversely, the first PWM signal P1 is low level In this case, the second PWM signal P2 is at a high level. The first signal adjustment circuit 10 further includes a comparator, which makes the first PWM signal P1 in the reverse direction. The present invention is not limited to this.
第1の分岐回路11は、直列に接続されている第1のスイッチQ1と第1の抵抗R1を含み、第1の分岐回路11の一端が第1の基準信号源13(例えば、5V又は3.3V電圧源)に電気的接続され、第1の分岐回路11の他端がLED調光回路1の信号出力端に電気的接続され、該信号出力端がLED電流基準信号S1を出力し、第1のスイッチQ1が第2のPWM信号P2に基づいてオン・オフする。 The first branch circuit 11 includes a first switch Q1 and a first resistor R1 connected in series, and one end of the first branch circuit 11 is connected to the first reference signal source 13 (for example, 5V or 3.3 V voltage source), the other end of the first branch circuit 11 is electrically connected to the signal output terminal of the LED dimming circuit 1, the signal output terminal outputs the LED current reference signal S1, The 1 switch Q1 is turned on / off based on the second PWM signal P2.
第2の分岐回路12は、直列に接続されている第2の抵抗R2と第2のスイッチQ2を含み、第2の分岐回路12の一端がLED調光回路1の信号出力端に電気的接続され、第2の分岐回路12の他端が接地端Gに電気的接続され、第2のスイッチQ2が第1のPWM信号P1に基づいてオン・オフする。 The second branch circuit 12 includes a second resistor R2 and a second switch Q2 connected in series, and one end of the second branch circuit 12 is electrically connected to the signal output terminal of the LED dimming circuit 1 Then, the other end of the second branch circuit 12 is electrically connected to the ground terminal G, and the second switch Q2 is turned on / off based on the first PWM signal P1.
第3の抵抗R3は、LED調光回路1の信号出力端と接電端Gとの間に電気的接続され、且つ第2の分岐回路12に並列に接続されている。第1のキャパシタンスC1は、LED調光回路1の信号出力端と接電端Gとの間に電気的接続され、且つ第2の分岐回路12及第3の抵抗R3に並列に接続されている。 The third resistor R3 is electrically connected between the signal output terminal of the LED dimming circuit 1 and the contact terminal G, and is connected in parallel to the second branch circuit 12. The first capacitance C1 is electrically connected between the signal output end of the LED dimming circuit 1 and the contact end G, and is connected in parallel to the second branch circuit 12 and the third resistor R3. .
図3は、第1のPWM信号と、LED駆動回路が図1に示すLED調光回路に基づいて発生する出力電流との調光曲線図である。図3に示すように、本発明のLED調光回路1は、第1の分岐回路11の第1のスイッチQ1だけじゃなく、第2の分岐回路12の第2のスイッチQ2を含み、且つ第1のスイッチQ1及び第2のスイッチQ2が相補である第2のPWM信号と第1のPWM信号により制御されるため、第1のスイッチQ1がオフし、第2のスイッチQ2がオンする場合に、LED調光回路1が出力するLED電流基準信号S1の電圧レベルは、第2のスイッチQ2のオンによりプルダウンされるため、第1のPWM信号P1とLEDに提供される出力電流との間の調光曲線は、逆線形関係の曲線ではなく、放物線状の非線形曲線となる。第1のPWM信号P1のデューティが比較的小さく、出力電流が比較的大きい(例えば、図3の左に近い領域場合に、出力電流の変化の傾きが大きく、LEDの輝度が早くなるのに対し、第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比が比較的大きく、出力電流が比較的大きい場合に、出力電流の変化の傾きが小さく、LEDの輝度の変化が遅くなるため、本発明のLED調光回路1は、LEDの調光効果を良好にすることができ、人間の目の調光輝度の変化に対する感知により適する。 FIG. 3 is a dimming curve diagram of the first PWM signal and the output current generated by the LED drive circuit based on the LED dimming circuit shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the LED dimming circuit 1 of the present invention includes not only the first switch Q1 of the first branch circuit 11, but also the second switch Q2 of the second branch circuit 12, and When the first switch Q1 is turned off and the second switch Q2 is turned on because the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 are controlled by the complementary second PWM signal and the first PWM signal. Since the voltage level of the LED current reference signal S1 output from the LED dimming circuit 1 is pulled down by turning on the second switch Q2, the voltage level between the first PWM signal P1 and the output current provided to the LED is reduced. The dimming curve is not an inversely linear curve but a parabolic non-linear curve. The duty of the first PWM signal P1 is relatively small and the output current is relatively large (for example, in the region close to the left in FIG. 3, the slope of the change in the output current is large and the brightness of the LED becomes faster. When the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is relatively large and the output current is relatively large, the slope of the change in the output current is small and the change in the luminance of the LED is slow, so the LED dimming circuit of the present invention 1 can improve the dimming effect of the LED and is more suitable for sensing the dimming luminance change of the human eye.
いくつかの実施例において、図2に示すように、第1の抵抗R1は、第1の基準信号源13と第1のスイッチQ1との間に電気的接続されている。第1のスイッチQ1は、第1の抵抗R1とLED調光回路1の信号出力端との間に電気的接続されている。第2の抵抗R2は、LED調光回路1の信号出力端と第2のスイッチQ2との間に電気的接続されている。第2のスイッチQ2は、第2の抵抗R2と接地端Gとの間に電気的接続されている。なお、他の実施例において,第1の抵抗R1と第1のスイッチQ1の接続位置を互いに交換してもよく、第2の抵抗R2と第2のスイッチQ2の接続位置も互いに交換してもよい。 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the first resistor R1 is electrically connected between the first reference signal source 13 and the first switch Q1. The first switch Q1 is electrically connected between the first resistor R1 and the signal output terminal of the LED dimming circuit 1. The second resistor R2 is electrically connected between the signal output terminal of the LED dimming circuit 1 and the second switch Q2. The second switch Q2 is electrically connected between the second resistor R2 and the ground terminal G. In other embodiments, the connection position of the first resistor R1 and the first switch Q1 may be exchanged with each other, and the connection position of the second resistor R2 and the second switch Q2 may be exchanged with each other. Good.
また、図3に示すように、LED電流基準信号S1の第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比に対する変化は、実際に、非線形連続的な変化である。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the change of the LED current reference signal S1 with respect to the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is actually a non-linear continuous change.
他の実施例において、LED調光回路1は、ノブ式調光器3に連結されることができ、ノブ式調光器3は、第1のPWM信号P1を提供し、ノブ式調光器3を回すことにより、第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比を調整する。また、実施例において、調光器3はそれ自体の特性により、提供する第1のPWM信号P1の最大デューティ比が0.95より小さい。しかし、本発明において、第1のPWM信号の源は、ノブ式調光器に限られず、スライド式調光器等の他の調光器であってもよく、他の調光方式による変換であってもよい。例えば、0-10V調光方式、可変抵抗調光方式等の他の調光方式による出力信号をさらにPWM信号に変換するが、本発明はこの限りではない。 In another embodiment, the LED dimmer circuit 1 can be coupled to a knob dimmer 3, which provides the first PWM signal P1 and the knob dimmer By turning 3, the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is adjusted. Further, in the embodiment, the maximum duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 provided by the dimmer 3 is smaller than 0.95 due to its own characteristics. However, in the present invention, the source of the first PWM signal is not limited to the knob-type dimmer, and may be another dimmer such as a slide-type dimmer. There may be. For example, an output signal by another dimming method such as a 0-10V dimming method or a variable resistance dimming method is further converted into a PWM signal.
図4は、本発明第2の好ましい実施例のLED調光回路の回路ブロック図である。図4に示すように、本実施例のLED調光回路2の構造の一部は、図2に示すLED調光回路1に類似し、回路の構造と機能が類似する部分について、説明を省略する。図2に示すLED調光回路1に比べると、本実施例のLED調光回路2は、整流回路20及び分離回路21をさらに含む。整流回路20は、方形波信号P3を受信し、方形波信号P3を第1のPWM信号P1に整流する。分離回路21の入力側が整流回路20に電気的接続され、第1のPWM信号P1を受信し、分離回路21の出力側が第1の信号調整回路10に電気的接続され、分離回路21は、フォトカプラを含んでもよいが、この限りではない。分離回路21は分離方式により第1のPWM信号P1を第1の信号調整回路10に伝送する。 FIG. 4 is a circuit block diagram of the LED dimming circuit of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, a part of the structure of the LED dimming circuit 2 of the present embodiment is similar to the LED dimming circuit 1 shown in FIG. To do. Compared with the LED dimming circuit 1 shown in FIG. 2, the LED dimming circuit 2 of the present embodiment further includes a rectifier circuit 20 and a separation circuit 21. The rectifier circuit 20 receives the square wave signal P3 and rectifies the square wave signal P3 into the first PWM signal P1. The input side of the separation circuit 21 is electrically connected to the rectifier circuit 20, receives the first PWM signal P1, the output side of the separation circuit 21 is electrically connected to the first signal conditioning circuit 10, and the separation circuit 21 A coupler may be included, but is not limited to this. The separation circuit 21 transmits the first PWM signal P1 to the first signal adjustment circuit 10 by a separation method.
LED調光回路2は、第1の基準信号源13とLED調光回路2的信号出力端との間に電気的接続されている第4の抵抗R4をさらに含んでもよい。第4の抵抗R4は、可変抵抗で構成されてもよく、且つ(第4の抵抗R4/第3の抵抗R3):(第1の抵抗R1/第3の抵抗R3)の抵抗比が19:1より大きく、即ち、第4の抵抗R4:第1の抵抗R1の抵抗比が19:1より大きくてもよいが、本発明はこれに限られない。第4の抵抗R4の設置より分かるように、LED電流基準信号S1の最大値は、実際に、第1の抵抗R1、第3の抵抗R3及び第4の抵抗R4の分圧により生成される(第1のスイッチQ1がオンし、第2のスイッチQ2がオフする状態で生成される)一方、LED電流基準信号S1の最小値は、第2の抵抗R2、第3の抵抗R3、及び第4の抵抗R4の分圧により生成され(第1のスイッチQ1がオフし、第2のスイッチQ2がオンする状態で生成される)。 The LED dimming circuit 2 may further include a fourth resistor R4 electrically connected between the first reference signal source 13 and the LED dimming circuit two-signal output terminal. The fourth resistor R4 may be configured by a variable resistor, and the resistance ratio of (fourth resistor R4 / third resistor R3) :( first resistor R1 / third resistor R3) is 19: The resistance ratio of the fourth resistor R4: the first resistor R1 may be greater than 19: 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. As can be seen from the installation of the fourth resistor R4, the maximum value of the LED current reference signal S1 is actually generated by the divided voltage of the first resistor R1, the third resistor R3, and the fourth resistor R4 ( On the other hand, the minimum value of the LED current reference signal S1 is the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, and the fourth resistor Q1 is generated with the first switch Q1 turned on and the second switch Q2 turned off. Is generated by voltage division of the resistor R4 (generated in a state where the first switch Q1 is turned off and the second switch Q2 is turned on).
また、第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比が90%より大きい場合に、LEDが受信する出力電流を10%より小さく、例えば1%に調整することができるために、図4に示すように、LED調光回路2は、RC回路22をさらに含む。該RC回路22は、第1の信号調整回路10と第1のスイッチQ1の制御端との間に電気的接続され、RC時定数に基づいて、第2のPWM信号P2を変調して、RC三角波信号P4を生成することにより、第1のスイッチQ1がRC三角波信号P4に基づいてオン・オフする。RC回路22により第2のPWM信号P2をフィルタすることにより、電圧レベルが第2のPWM信号P2より低いRC三角波信号P4を生成することができ、このように、第1のPWM信号P1が徐々に大きくなり、例えば、90%より大きく、第2のPWM信号P2の電圧レベルを徐々に低くする場合に、第1のスイッチQ1はRC回路22により早めにオフする。この場合に、LED電流基準信号S1の最小値が第2の抵抗R2、第3の抵抗R3及び第4の抵抗R4の分圧により生成されるため、第3の抵抗R3及び第4の抵抗R4の抵抗値を調整することにより、LEDが受信する出力電流を10%より小さく、例えば1%に制御することができる。 Further, when the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is larger than 90%, the output current received by the LED can be adjusted to be smaller than 10%, for example, 1%. The LED dimming circuit 2 further includes an RC circuit 22. The RC circuit 22 is electrically connected between the first signal adjustment circuit 10 and the control end of the first switch Q1, and modulates the second PWM signal P2 based on the RC time constant to By generating the triangular wave signal P4, the first switch Q1 is turned on / off based on the RC triangular wave signal P4. By filtering the second PWM signal P2 by the RC circuit 22, an RC triangular wave signal P4 having a voltage level lower than that of the second PWM signal P2 can be generated, and thus the first PWM signal P1 is gradually increased. When the voltage level of the second PWM signal P2 is gradually lowered, for example, greater than 90%, the first switch Q1 is turned off early by the RC circuit 22. In this case, since the minimum value of the LED current reference signal S1 is generated by the voltage division of the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, and the fourth resistor R4, the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 By adjusting the resistance value, the output current received by the LED can be controlled to be smaller than 10%, for example, 1%.
図5は、図4に示すLED調光回路のRC回路が出力したRC三角波信号の波形模式図である。図5にしめすように、RC三角波信号P4は、実際に、曲線を有する近似三角形波形を含む。また、第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比が90%より大きい場合に、第1のスイッチQ1がRC回路22により早めにオフするように、RC時定数は、第1のPWM信号P1の周期の5%~20%であることが好ましい。以上より分かるように、第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比が90%より大きい場合に、第1のスイッチQ1がオフする限り、LEDが受信する出力電流を10%より小さく、例えば1%にすることができる。そのため、第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比が90%より大きい場合に、RC三角波信号P4のピーク電圧が第1のスイッチQ1のオン閾値より小さくなる。それにより、第1のPWM信号P1のデューティ比が90%より大きい場合に限り、第1のスイッチQ1をオフすることができる。 FIG. 5 is a schematic waveform diagram of an RC triangular wave signal output from the RC circuit of the LED dimming circuit shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the RC triangular wave signal P4 actually includes an approximate triangular waveform having a curve. Also, when the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is greater than 90%, the RC time constant is equal to the period of the first PWM signal P1 so that the first switch Q1 is turned off earlier by the RC circuit 22. It is preferably 5% to 20%. As can be seen from the above, when the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is larger than 90%, as long as the first switch Q1 is turned off, the output current received by the LED is smaller than 10%, for example, 1%. be able to. Therefore, when the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is larger than 90%, the peak voltage of the RC triangular wave signal P4 becomes smaller than the ON threshold value of the first switch Q1. Thereby, the first switch Q1 can be turned off only when the duty ratio of the first PWM signal P1 is larger than 90%.
図4に示すように、いくつかの実施例において、RC回路22は、第2のキャパシタンスC2及び第5の抵抗R5を含む。第5の抵抗R5の一端が第1の信号調整回路10に電気的接続され、第5の抵抗R5の他端が第1のスイッチQ1の制御端に電気的接続されている。第2のキャパシタンスC2の一端が第1のスイッチQ1の制御端及び第5の抵抗R5の他端に電気的接続され、第2のキャパシタンスC2の他端が接地端Gに電気的接続されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the RC circuit 22 includes a second capacitance C2 and a fifth resistor R5. One end of the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the first signal adjustment circuit 10, and the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the control end of the first switch Q1. One end of the second capacitance C2 is electrically connected to the control end of the first switch Q1 and the other end of the fifth resistor R5, and the other end of the second capacitance C2 is electrically connected to the ground end G. .
さらに、他の実施例において、LED調光回路2は、第2の信号調整回路23をさらに含み、該第2の信号調整回路23は、第1のPWM信号P1を受信し、第2のスイッチQ2の制御端に電気的接続され、第2の信号調整回路23は、比較器で構成され、且つ第2の信号調整回路23の比較器が第1のPWM信号P1を受信し、第2の信号調整回路23の実際に出力する信号が第1のPWM信号P1と一致するため、第2の信号調整回路23は、実際に第1のPWM信号P1の伝送精度を向上させるために用いられる。 Further, in another embodiment, the LED dimming circuit 2 further includes a second signal adjustment circuit 23, the second signal adjustment circuit 23 receives the first PWM signal P1, and the second switch Electrically connected to the control terminal of Q2, the second signal adjustment circuit 23 is configured by a comparator, and the comparator of the second signal adjustment circuit 23 receives the first PWM signal P1, Since the signal actually output from the signal adjustment circuit 23 matches the first PWM signal P1, the second signal adjustment circuit 23 is actually used to improve the transmission accuracy of the first PWM signal P1.
以上より、本発明は、LED調光回路を提供する。該LED調光回路は、第1の分岐回路の第1のスイッチだけではなく、第2の分岐回路の第2のスイッチを含み、且つ第1のスイッチ及び第2のスイッチは、それぞれ相補である第2のPWM信号と第1のPWM信号に制御されるため、第1のPWM信号とLEDに提供される出力電流との調光曲線は放物線状の非線形曲線となることで、本発明のLED調光回路はLEDの調光効果を向上させる。また、本発明のLED調光回路は、RC回路により第1のスイッチを早めにオフにするため、第1のPWM信号のデューティ比が90%より大きい場合に、 LEDが受信する出力電流を10%より小さく制御することができる。よって、本発明のLED調光回路は、現在のLED調光の需要を満たす。 As described above, the present invention provides an LED dimming circuit. The LED dimming circuit includes not only the first switch of the first branch circuit but also the second switch of the second branch circuit, and the first switch and the second switch are each complementary. Since it is controlled by the second PWM signal and the first PWM signal, the dimming curve between the first PWM signal and the output current provided to the LED becomes a parabolic non-linear curve. The dimming circuit improves the dimming effect of the LED. In addition, since the LED dimming circuit of the present invention turns off the first switch early by the RC circuit, when the duty ratio of the first PWM signal is larger than 90%, the output current received by the LED is 10 It can be controlled smaller than%. Thus, the LED dimming circuit of the present invention meets the current demand for LED dimming.
