Description

[0001] FEEDBACK CONTROL DEVICE, FEEDBACK CONTROL METHOD AND POWER SUPPLY [0002]

The present invention relates to a feedback control device, a feedback control method, and a power supply device.

Recently, various types of electronic devices such as a computer, a display device, a lighting device, and various control devices are used in various spaces of a home, an office, a factory, etc. in accordance with various needs of users.

These electronic devices are essentially employed with a power supply device that supplies driving power required internally or externally to perform various operations in accordance with various needs of the user.

Particularly, when the above-described power supply device is used in a lighting device utilizing a light emitting diode (LED), it is necessary for the user to adjust the brightness of the LED according to conditions.

However, due to inherent tolerances inherent in internal and external components of the power supply, such as transformers, control ICs, sensing resistors, error amplifiers, etc., used in the circuit, An output current amount may be generated, thereby causing a deviation of brightness among a plurality of LEDs. In particular, at low light output, this brightness variation can be more easily perceived by the user.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a feedback control device, a feedback control method, and a power supply device capable of minimizing a variation in output current amount between power supply devices.

The above object of the present invention can be achieved by providing a feedback circuit for compensating a voltage according to an external input signal based on a compensation signal for compensating for a difference between an output current value corresponding to an external input signal and a detected load output current value, A control device, a feedback control method, and a power supply device.

According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to compensate for variations in the amount of output current caused by internal and external components of the power supply device, environmental factors, and the like.

In addition, according to the present invention as described above, it is possible to minimize the deviation of the amount of output current between power supply devices.

Also, according to the present invention as described above, the driving currents can be outputted at the same amount of current as the load connected to each power source device.

In addition, according to the present invention as described above, it is possible to minimize a brightness deviation of a lighting apparatus connected to each power supply apparatus.

However, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the above-mentioned effects.

In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. Additionally, elements of the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. For example, to facilitate understanding of embodiments of the present invention, the dimensions of some of the elements in the figures may be exaggerated relative to other elements. In addition, like reference numerals in different drawings denote like elements, and like reference numerals can indicate similar elements, although not necessarily.

In this specification, the terms first, second, etc. are used to distinguish one element from another element, and the element is not limited by these terms.

Need to compensate output current deviation according to internal and external components of power supply

1 is a circuit block diagram for explaining the cause of the output current amount deviation generated in the power supply apparatus.

Generally, the power supply unit has its tolerance, as shown in FIG. 1, with each of its internal and external components.

For example, (1) represents the error of the input power of the power supply unit.

Also, (2) represents the time constant error of a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, and a transformer used in a circuit. In this case, although the degree varies depending on the type of circuit used, the difference between the winding ratio, inductance, leakage inductance, and capacitance and series equivalent resistance of the transformer, in particular, can greatly affect the transient and steady state output characteristics.

(3) corresponds to the time constant error of the current detecting element, and is a value obtained by subtracting a tolerance of the sensing resistor for detecting the output current and an amplifier stage for attenuating / amplifying a signal input from the outside (for example, Is due to the tolerance of the device used.

④ shows the time constant error of passive elements, amplifiers, control ICs, etc. used in the control section for controlling the output current according to the external input signal.

In addition, there is also a change in device characteristics with respect to an environmental change (for example, temperature) depending on each installation place, and a physical error due to influence of parasitic components due to component mounting state, assembling state, and the like.

As described above, errors due to the internal and external components cause a variation in the amount of output current, which causes different amounts of output currents even with power supplies of the same design specifications.

Assuming that there is no external input noise, the error of ③ described above can be most intuitively confirmed as a measurement error of a simple signal and the deviation between power supply devices of the same design specification.

However, the errors of ①, ②, and ④ are not intuitively identifiable, although they are factors that can change the control system characteristics of the power supply, and the above-mentioned physical errors are not intuitively confirmed.

FIGS. 2A and 2B are diagrams for explaining the output current amount deviation caused by the error shown in FIG.

For example, when the power supply unit drives the LED module, if it is desired to control the LED current to the size of 1A, the dimming signal voltage Vdimmmer corresponding to 1A is provided as shown in FIG. 2A, You can do it.

However, in the case of a general power supply device, although the dimming signal voltage Vdimmer corresponding to 1A is provided, the desired output value can not be controlled due to the errors described in FIG. In other words, although the deviation of the output current due to the errors in FIG. 1 occurs, the control loop does not recognize such an error.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the error of 5% of the power supply unit, the error of the current control unit 5%, the error of the error amplifier 5%, and the error of the sensing resistance 1 are accumulated, In this case, even if the dimming signal voltage (Vdimmer) corresponding to 1A is provided, the output current flows 0.84A due to the accumulated error of 16%, and this part is not detected as an error in the control loop at all will be.

3 schematically shows a configuration diagram of a power supply apparatus 10 which is currently adopted.

As shown in FIG. 3, the currently used power supply device 10 is a control structure that detects the current output from the power supply unit and makes the detected output current follow the external input signal.

In such a structure, for example, when a plurality of lighting LED modules are driven, the same signal is inputted from the outside (for example, a signal output section such as a dimmer) for brightness control, Not only the error but also errors due to the internal and external components described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the currents of different sizes are output between the power supply units having the same design specification.

Therefore, despite the space in which a plurality of lighting power supply units having the same design specifications are installed, the respective lighting apparatuses output light of different brightness due to the output current deviation between the power supply units. Such a deviation may be larger especially at low light output.

Thus, in this embodiment, a configuration example of a power source device capable of minimizing a deviation in output current amount between each power source device by compensating an output current amount deviation according to internal and external components of the power source device, environmental factors, and the like will be adopted. Hereinafter, this will be described in detail.

The invention Example

4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a power supply apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the power supply 100 of the present embodiment may include a power supply unit 110, a current detection unit 120, a current control unit 130, and a feedback circuit unit 140.

First, the power supply unit 110 provides an output voltage Vo for driving the load 150, and in this embodiment, a transformer may be employed.

Therefore, in this embodiment, power can be supplied at a power transfer ratio between the primary and secondary windings of the transformer to provide an output voltage Vo for driving the load 150. [

That is, in the primary winding, a power switching device is connected, and the power switching device is controlled by a PWM signal. When the width of the PWM signal is varied, the power transfer ratio between the primary and secondary windings can be controlled.

In this case, the LED 150 is used as the load 150 in the present embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Anything that can be driven by the output voltage Vo provided through the power supply unit 110 can be used Do.

Meanwhile, the power supply unit 110 of the present embodiment may further include a filter or a rectifying circuit for stabilizing the output voltage Vo.

The current detection unit 120 of the present embodiment detects the output current value flowing in the load 150 (the LED module in this embodiment), that is, the load output current value, and the sensing resistor can be adopted in this embodiment.

The current control unit 130 controls the power transfer ratio of the power supply unit 110 by the feedback signal provided from the feedback circuit unit 140 to be described later to the power supply unit 110 You can control the supply

For example, the current controller 130 may generate a PWM signal having a variable pulse width according to the magnitude of the feedback signal, and may control the power switch connected to the primary winding of the power supply unit 110 as a PWM signal.

The power supply device 100 of the present embodiment may further include a signal transfer unit for transferring a feedback signal output from the feedback circuit unit 140 to the current control unit 130. At this time, the signal transmission unit may be implemented by a photo coupler or the like that transmits the feedback signal through an optical coupling scheme.

On the other hand, the feedback circuit unit 140 outputs an output current value corresponding to a signal (for example, a variable resistor, a dimming signal output from a dimmer that can be implemented by a PWM generator or the like), and a detected load output current value (Hereinafter referred to as "compensation reference voltage ") compensating for a voltage (e.g., a dimming voltage according to a dimming signal) according to an external input signal based on a compensation signal that compensates for the difference between the reference voltage and the reference voltage.

The feedback circuit unit 140 may provide a feedback signal to the current control unit 130 to control the power supply of the power supply unit 110 by comparing the compensation reference voltage with the detected load output current value have.

At this time, the feedback circuit 140 compares the output current value (set by the user) corresponding to the external input signal with the detected load output current value, and based on the compensation signal according to the comparison result, Thereby generating a compensation reference voltage.

In this case, the compensation reference voltage is a compensation control value for minimizing the output current amount deviation of each power supply device due to internal and external components, environmental factors, and the like so that each power supply device outputs the driving current of LED or the like with the same amount of current .

Therefore, the power supply device 100 of the present embodiment can minimize the output current amount deviation between the power supply devices through the feedback circuit 140 as described above, and can output drive currents such as LEDs with the same amount of current through the feedback circuit 140 .

5 shows an exemplary configuration of the feedback control unit 140 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the feedback control unit 140 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

5, the feedback control unit 140 includes an external signal corresponding current value generation unit 141, an error amplification unit 142, a reference voltage compensation unit 143, and a feedback signal generation unit 144 ).

The external signal corresponding current value generation section 141 outputs an output current value (set by the user) corresponding to a signal input from the outside (for example, a signal output section such as a dimmer) to a look- And generates an output current value (hereinafter referred to as "external signal corresponding current value") corresponding to the voltage Vdimmer according to the external input signal.

6 is a diagram for explaining an external signal corresponding current value Icmd set by the user, and particularly shows a case of a source dimmer for outputting a voltage.

If the signal input from the outside is a dimming signal, the external signal corresponding current value Icmd can be changed according to the brightness change request (dimming voltage Vdimmer according to the dimming signal) of the user, The external signal corresponding current value Icmd can be set in advance in the form of a lookup table as shown in Table 1 below. At this time, the lookup table can be implemented in both analog and digital form.

5, the signal input to the external signal corresponding current value generation unit 141 may be a signal amplified by the first amplifier 160 through a signal output from a signal output unit such as an external dimmer . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be input to the external signal corresponding current value generation unit 141 directly from an external dimmer or the like.

5, the error amplifier 142 receives the load output current value VI_sensing detected from the current detector 120 and the external signal corresponding current output from the external signal corresponding current value generator 141 Value is input.

In this case, the load output current value VI_sensing input to the error amplifier 142 may be a signal amplified through the second amplifier 170 by the signal detected by the current detector 120. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a signal detected from the current detector 120 may be directly input to the error amplifier 142.

The error amplifier 142 having the above configuration compares and amplifies the detected load output current value VI_sensing with the external signal corresponding current value and outputs an error signal to the reference voltage compensator 143.

5, the error amplifier 142 may include a non-inverting input terminal to which the external signal corresponding current value is input, an inverting input terminal to which the detected load output current value VI_sensing is input, And an operational amplifier OP1 having an output terminal for providing an error signal.

As a result, the error amplifier 142 having such a configuration outputs an error signal indicating the difference between the external signal corresponding current value generated from the external signal corresponding current value generator 141 and the detected load output current value VI_sensing, And outputs it to the compensation unit 143.

The reference voltage compensating section 143 includes an error compensating section 143-1 and a compensation reference voltage generating section 143-2 as shown in FIG.

When an error signal is outputted from the error amplifier 142, that is, when an error occurs between the external signal corresponding current value set by the user and the detected load output current value VI_sensing , And outputs a compensation signal Verr for compensating the error.

For example, the error compensating section 143-1 may add the error signal output from the error amplifier 142 in the current control loop and the error signal outputted from the error amplifier 142 in the previous control loop It is possible to output a compensation signal Verr for compensating for an error between the external signal corresponding current value set by the user and the detected load output current value VI_sensing.

As a result, the error compensator 143-1 compares the current error signal indicating the difference between the external signal corresponding current value set by the user and the currently detected load output current value, and the external signal corresponding current value set by the user And a method of adding a previous error signal indicating the difference between the output current values of the load and the load current.

The error compensation unit 143-1 may be implemented as a PI, ground, or terrestrial compensator. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the error compensation unit 143-1 may be configured to detect the load output current value VI_sensing, It is needless to say that the present invention can be implemented in any form as long as it is a controller for compensating an error of a value.

5, the compensation reference voltage generating section 143-2 supplies the voltage (Vdimmmer) corresponding to a signal (for example, a dimming signal inputted from an external dimmer or the like) inputted from the outside to the voltage And the compensation signal Verr output from the comparator 143-1 to generate the compensation reference voltage Vref.

That is, the compensation reference voltage generating section 143-2 generates a compensated reference voltage Vout based on the compensation signal Verr that compensates for the difference between the external signal corresponding current value set by the user and the detected load output current value VI_sensing, The compensated reference voltage Vref is compensated for the compensated reference voltage Vdimmer and the generated compensated reference voltage Vref is supplied to the feedback signal generator 144 to be used as a reference voltage for the current control loop.

In the case of the conventional power supply apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 3, the voltage according to the dimming signal or the like is directly inputted as the reference voltage of the current control loop without any compensation process. In the case of the power supply apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, Compensates the voltage Vdimmer corresponding to the dimming signal or the like based on the compensating signal Verr for compensating for the difference between the external signal corresponding current value set by the load current detecting unit 18 and the detected load output current value VI_sensing, And is input as a reference voltage.

7 is a diagram for explaining the compensation reference voltage Vref generated by the reference voltage compensating unit 143 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the compensation reference voltage Vref of the present embodiment is a compensation reference voltage Vref, (I.e., the difference between the detected load output current value and the user-set external signal corresponding current value) generated by internal and external components, environmental factors, and the like in the voltage Vdimmer corresponding to the dimming signal, ) Of the current control loop.

Therefore, the compensation reference voltage Vref provided through the reference voltage compensation unit 143 functions as a compensation control value that can compensate for the output current amount deviation of each power supply device generated by internal and external components, environmental factors, and the like The power supply device 100 of the present embodiment can minimize the output current amount deviation between the power supply devices and output drive currents such as LEDs with the same amount of current as possible.

5, the feedback signal generator 144 generates the feedback output voltage VI_sensing detected from the current detector 120 and the compensation reference voltage Vref generated from the reference voltage compensator 143, It is possible to provide the current control unit 130 with a feedback signal corresponding to the error voltage between the two currents.

That is, the feedback signal generator 144 compares the compensation reference voltage Vref generated by the reference voltage compensator 143 with the load output current VI_sensing detected by the current detector 120 to generate a feedback signal .

5, the feedback signal generator 144 may include a non-inverting input terminal to which the compensation reference voltage Vref is input, an inverting input terminal to which the detected load output current value VI_sensing is input, And an operational amplifier OP2 having an output terminal for providing the feedback signal.
