Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a driving device and related lighting device for a light emitting diode circuit, and more particularly to a light dimming function and a power storage through a capacitor The driving device and related lighting device for the operation of the dimming function. Φ [Prior Art] In daily life, people often need to change the brightness of the light depending on the environment. When using conventional lighting devices such as light bulbs or fluorescent lamps, the user usually switches the number of xenon lamps by a multi-stage switch to adjust the appropriate brightness, such as softer light for dining or brighter light when reading. Light Emitting Diode has the advantages of power saving, long life and high brightness. It has become popular in many lighting applications in recent years, such as indicator lamps or flashlights. Please refer to Figure 1, the first! The figure shows a schematic diagram of a lighting device 1〇 of a conventional light-emitting diode. The illuminating device 1 is a multi-stage brightness illuminating device comprising a illuminating diode circuit 1GG, a micro control ϋ 102 and a Pulse Width Modulation control unit 〇4. The power required for the lighting unit 1 is supplied by an input power source VCC. The micro-control n丨〇2 is generated from the - specific brightness - the signal side to the pulse width modulation control unit 1〇4. The pulse width modulation control unit 1〇4 generates a pulse width modulation signal Vpwm according to the control signal Vctrl for controlling the current of the light emitting diode circuit 100 to adjust the brightness of the illumination device 1〇. 201029521 It is known from the above that the brightness adjustment of the illumination device 10 is controlled by the microcontroller 102. When using a conventional lighting device such as a fluorescent lamp, the user switches the light brightness through the switch. In contrast, the lighting device of the light-emitting diode is easier to switch brightness than the fluorescent lamp, and the cost of the microcontroller 102 is relatively high. . Therefore, the light-emitting diode cannot completely replace the traditional light bulb or fluorescent lamp. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a driving device and associated lighting device for a light emitting diode circuit. The invention discloses a driving device for a light-emitting diode circuit, comprising a power receiving end coupled to a switch for receiving a DC power through the switch, the DC power source for providing the LED circuit And a power source required for the operation of the driving device; a capacitor coupled to the power receiving end for storing power; and a dimming sheet® coupled to the power receiving end and the capacitor for the capacitor When the voltage drop does not reach a first threshold, a control signal is generated to adjust the brightness state of the LED circuit according to the off condition of the switch. The invention further discloses a lighting device comprising a light emitting diode circuit, a switch and a driving device. The LED circuit includes at least one light emitting diode. The switch is coupled to an AC power source for controlling the output of the AC power source, wherein the AC power source is used to provide the power required for the operation of the lighting device. The drive device includes = 201029521 ❿ connected to the off! 1 'is used to receive the AC power supply, the "丨l power supply, a capacitor, and lightly connected to the power receiving end 'use' to store the amount; Controlling the fresh element, the light-emitting diode circuit, according to the control signal, adjusting the rotating current of the light-emitting diode circuit to drive the light-emitting diode circuit to generate a light source, and a dimming unit The receiving end, the capacitor and the control unit are configured to generate the control signal according to the closing condition of the switch when the falling of the capacitor does not reach the “first threshold” to adjust the brightness state of the illuminating circuit. [Embodiment] Please refer to the 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, and 2nd. The illumination device 20 is powered by a light-emitting diode, and the power required for its operation is provided by an AC power source VCC. The illumination device 2 includes a light-emitting diode circuit 200, a switch 202, a driving device 2〇4, and a power converter. The circuit and operation principle of the power converter are known in the art, and are in the present invention and the drawings. The description is omitted. The AC φ power supply vcc is connected to the power converter via the switch 202, and the power required by the driving device 204 is obtained by the conversion circuit. The power converter also supplies the energy required for the LED circuit 2 . The light emitting diode circuit 200 is composed of a plurality of light emitting diodes connected in series and in parallel. The switch 202 is coupled to the AC power source VCC for controlling the output of the AC power source VCC to the illumination device 20. The user controls the LED circuit 200 to generate a light source by turning on and off the switch 202. The driving device 204 is used to drive the LED circuit 200' and adjust the brightness state of the light source generated by the LED circuit 200, as described in detail below. 201029521 * The driving device 204 includes a power receiving end, a capacitor 21 (), a dimming unit 212, and a control unit 216. The Wei receiver is connected to the power converter. When the switch 202 is turned on, the power converter will supply the DC power required by the driver 2〇4. The capacitor 210 is coupled to the power receiving end vm for storing power. The dimming unit 耗 is consumed by the power receiving terminal VIN and the capacitor 210, and is used to reduce the voltage of the capacitor 21〇 to a threshold value VTH1 (ie, the lower limit of the power required for the dimming unit 212 to maintain operation), according to In the closed condition of the switch 202, a control signal sc is generated to the control unit 216. The control unit 216 is coupled to the dimming unit 212 and the LED circuit 2 〇〇 for adjusting the operating current of the LED circuit 200 or adjusting the number of lighting of the LED according to the control signal SC ' The light-emitting diode circuit 2 is driven to generate light sources of different brightness states, such as full brightness, semi-brightness, and lightness. The control unit 216 can be designed to adjust the operating current of the LED circuit 200 or to adjust the amount of illumination of the LED, the implementation of which is not limited to the scope of the invention. It should be noted that the driving device 204 of the embodiment of the present invention is a driving device having a multi-stage dimming function. The user can control the dimming unit 212 to implement a multi-segment dimming function through the opening and closing of the switch 202. The dimming unit 212 includes a detecting unit 220 and a counting unit 222. The detecting unit 220 is coupled to the power receiving end VIN and the capacitor 210 for generating a detecting signal SD according to the closing condition of the switch 2〇2 when the voltage drop of the capacitor 210 does not reach the threshold value of ¥1111. When the switch 202 is turned off, the voltage detected by the detecting unit 220 is decreased; when the voltage detected by the detecting unit 220 drops to a threshold value VTH2, the detecting signal SD 钧 voltage level changes, such as by a high potential. Switch to low potential. The counting unit 222 is coupled to the detecting unit 220, the capacitor 210, and the control unit 201029521 216' for maintaining the switch 202 closed but the voltage of the capacitor 21〇 is not lower than the threshold value VTH1. The detection signal SD is switched from a high potential to a low: a negative number, and the domain corresponds to a suitable brightness control SC. For example, before the voltage of the capacitor 21〇 has not fallen below the threshold vTm, the switch 202 is subjected to The user control is switched three times. At this time, the counting unit 222 accumulates the debt signal SD from high potential to low potential for three times. The control signal SC generated by the counting unit 222 controls the LED circuit to operate in the night light mode. . In practice, the _ unit 22G can be a voltage regulator (the threshold Detector) threshold value VTH2, that is, the reference voltage of the voltage detector. When the detecting unit 22 detects that the voltage is higher than the threshold VTH2, the detecting unit 22G outputs a high potential signal; when the detected voltage of the detecting unit 22G is lower than the threshold value VTH2, the side unit 22 outputs an output low. Potential signal. In addition, the operating voltage of the detecting unit 22G and the operating voltage of the counting unit 222 are different voltages to prevent the detection signal SD from being misjudged by the voltage of the capacitor training when the switch is turned off. When the switch 202 is turned off, the DC power is not output to the dimming unit 212, and the illumination device 20 does not generate the light source. At this time, the capacitor 21 is supplied with power to the detecting unit 22 and the count 222. When the voltage of the capacitor 210 starts to drop but has not reached the threshold VTm, the switch unit 202 outputs a low potential detection signal SD to the count sheet A 222 every time the switch 202 is turned off. The counting unit η2 accumulates the number of times the detection signal 沁 is switched from the high potential to the low potential to generate the control signal SC corresponding to the brightness state of the SC. The stomach switch 202 is turned on again. The control unit 216 adjusts the illumination signal according to the control signal sc. The operating current of the polar body circuit 200 is used to drive the light emitting diode circuit to produce a light source of appropriate brightness. Please refer to Figures 3 and 4, which show the relationship between the voltage measured by the detection unit 220 and the detection signal in different situations in different situations. The voltage detection point of the lying unit 220 is the end point of the capacitor 2ι〇; the threshold value ντΗ1 is the lower voltage limit required for the dimming unit 212 to maintain operation, that is, the voltage at which the counting unit milk is reset; the threshold value VTH2 is the detecting unit. 22 () reference voltage. It can be seen from Fig. 3 that when the voltage measured by the detecting unit 220 drops to the critical value ^VTH2 but does not reach the threshold value VTH1, the manufacturing unit % 220 generates the standby signal SD according to the closing condition of the switch 202. In addition, as can be seen from Fig. 4, if the switch 2〇2 is not turned on after a period of time after the turn-off, and the voltage of the capacitor 210 falls below the threshold value VTH1, the counting unit 222 is reset, and the brightness state returns to a predetermined value. The illumination device of the conventional light-emitting body controls the multi-segment brightness state of the illumination device through the microcontroller, but the cost of the microcontroller is expensive. In contrast, the embodiment of the present invention achieves the same multi-segment switching effect through simple and low-cost components such as the detecting unit 220 and the counting unit 222, which greatly reduces the cost of the lighting device 20. At the same time, when the switch 202 of the illumination device 20 is turned off, the amount of charge stored by the capacitor 210 is sufficient to maintain the operation of the counting unit 222. In effect, drive 204 is an LED driven wafer. In order to reduce the size of the chip, the capacitor 210 is usually disposed outside the wafer; at the same time, in order to reduce the component cost, the detection point of the detecting unit 220 is designed as the end point of the capacitor 210, so the driving device 204 only needs to provide a pin connection capacitor 21 Hey, detect the voltage at the same time. It is worth noting that the amount of power stored in the capacitor 210 is actually limited; in addition, the voltage of the DC power source generated by the power supply 201029521 converter may exceed the operating voltage range of the dimming unit 212. Therefore, the present invention further proposes a lighting device 5G. Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of the illumination device 50. The illumination device 5 is similar to the illumination device 20 of Fig. 2, and includes voltage regulators 500 and 502 in addition to the LED circuit 200, the switch 202, and the drive device 2〇4. The voltage regulator 500 is coupled between the power receiving terminal VIN and the dimming unit 212, and more precisely, between the power receiving end _ and the counting unit 222. Here, the voltage regulator 5 is used as a one-way conduction component for Φ to enable the power stored in the capacitor to be used more economically when the switch 2〇2 is turned off, so that the counting unit 222 is prevented from being reset too quickly. . The regulator 500 can also be replaced with a one-way element such as a diode or a transistor. The regulator 502 is coupled between the DC power source and the power receiving terminal generated by the power converter to generate an operating voltage suitable for the dimming unit 212. Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , which show the relationship between the voltage measured by the detecting unit 220 and the detection signal SD in FIG. 5 in different situations. Please note that the voltage detection point of the detecting unit 220 in FIG. 2 is the end point of the capacitor 210, and the voltage detecting point of the thin unit 220 in the fifth figure is the power receiving end, so the detecting unit 22 The measured voltage is different from the voltage of the capacitor 21〇. The changes of the voltages and signals in Figures 6 and 7 are similar to those in Figures 3 and 4, and will not be described here. In Fig. 2, the embodiment of the present invention assumes that the operating voltages of the counting unit 222 and the control unit 21' are the same'. Therefore, the voltage output by the detecting unit 22() is supplied to the control unit 216 in addition to the supply counting unit 222'. Please refer to Fig. 8, which is a schematic view of a lighting device 80 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illuminating device 80 is similar to the illuminating device 2 of FIG. 2, and further includes a voltage regulator 800 and a voltage detector 802. The power of the voltage regulator 800 201029521 is the same as that of the steady state of Figure 5; In FIG. 6, the embodiment of the present invention assumes that the operating voltage of the voltage detector 802 is higher than the operating voltage of the detecting unit 22 and the counting unit 222; when the switch 2〇2 is turned on, the DC power generated by the power converter The operating state and voltage required by the control unit 216 are provided by the voltage detector 802, and the detecting unit 22 does not provide the operating state and voltage to the control unit 216. As a result, when the switch 2〇2 is turned off, the voltage of the power receiving terminal VIN drops, and the voltage detector 8〇2 is turned off first. At this time, the amount of power stored in the capacitor 210 is only supplied to the counting unit 222, so the lighting device ❹80 towel You don't need to use a single-way tree to save 21 watts of capacitance. Illuminating device 5G and lang device 8G are embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications as appropriate. Components such as single-pass components, voltage regulators, and electrical waste detectors can be used as needed. In the lighting devices 2, 5, and 80 t, the counting unit 222 is coupled to the detecting unit 220 ′ to receive the detecting signal SD. The detecting unit 220 receives the power through the power receiving end and the switch 2 〇 2 Open and close. In other embodiments of the present invention, the AC power supply at the rear end of the switch 2〇2 can also be directly taken, and the detection signal is generated after being processed. In addition, the detection signal of the side unit 22() can be used in the circuit between the switch 2〇2 and the power receiving terminal to detect the switch 2, except that it is lightly connected to the power receiving terminal VIN.启 2 opening and closing. In summary, the embodiment of the present invention implements dimming by using a simple and low-cost circuit such as a detecting unit and a counting unit. Preferably, the present invention stores the amount of power through the capacitor to maintain the operation of the counting unit when the switch of the lighting device is turned off. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention applies components such as a single-pass component, a voltage regulator, and a dust detector to extend the usage time of the power of the long capacitor of 201029521, thereby preventing the brightness state of the lighting device from being reset prematurely, and improving the use.
