Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) driver employs a current balance circuit coupled to a second terminal of each light bar to perform self-feedback control for a current flowing through each light bar, a voltage compensation circuit to fine-tune a light-bar voltage to ensure that the light bars with different forward-bias turn-on voltages are all fully activated, a short protection circuit to close the LED driver to protect the light bars from being damaged by over-current when some LED(s) of some light bar is short-circuited. Because the LED driver of the invention does not need to employ a specific LED controller and introduces a simple driving structure, it largely reduces the cost.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a light source driving technology, and more particularly to a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) driving circuit. [Prior Art] Ideally, the LED forward voltage rating is, for example, 3. 3V, but the component must have an error. For example, in the case of 5% error, the LE:D forward voltage will be recklessly " At 3.135V~3. 465V. Therefore, even if the same number and the same type of LEDs are connected in series, the light string (Hght bar) is actually the direct communication of each light string (which is the sum of the LEDs connected in series) ) will still be different from each other. If the same bias voltage is applied to each of the strings, the individual strings will be different when the actual axis conduction depends on the motor flowing through the strings. Of course, the brightness provided by each string will be different. In order to solve the problem of uneven brightness caused by uneven current of each string, the current balancing circuit becomes a very important component for driving the LED string. Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of an existing LED driver circuit. Referring to FIG. 1, each light string π in the light string u~lm is formed by the same number and the same type of LED serial connection, wherein m and η are positive integers, and i is any positive integer in h. The same DC voltage Vbus is applied to the first end of each string π. This is a direct voltage toe of a common specification such as a core (10) or a bump, which is stepped down or boosted by a DC-to-DC converter. Come here. At the second end of each string Η, a corresponding switch Mi and a resistor RSi are applied, and then the LED controller is used to balance the lamp string i~]m=current, and the control mode of the component is added outside the LED controller: It is suitable for applications where the string is a ten-long, still current (_like forward voltage is greater than, current is greater than 100mA). 201123974 For the light string π ,, the current flowing through the light string i will flow through the opening i and the resistance Rsi, so the current flowing through the string u (which is a voltage form) can be detected by the resistor Rsi. Then, the L£D controller receives the detected average value of the current flowing through the string h from the current detecting terminal iSi and compares it with the preset current ship record, and then compares the result from the channel end OT to send the money control touch-to-turn or It does not conduct, so that the average value of the current flowing through the lamp string n is equal to the f-flow impurity value or has a certain current sharing effect in the -set error range _ (in the range of ~ 〜 8% error). The LED controller also detects the electric dust on the second end of the lamp string η by the electric detector. When detecting that the second end of the lamp string η is too high, the LED string indicates that the light-emitting diode is short-circuited. The signal is sent from the channel terminal CHi to control the switch Mi to be non-conducting to protect the circuit. "But the city's special (four) LED control (four) can control the number of strings is fixed, with the increase of the string 11 lm number 'requires multiple (10) controllers in parallel to make two parallel use between the LED controllers Communication and control will increase the design cost and make the circuit complicated and not easy to control. Moreover, as the number of light strings ^ lm increases, the number of additional switches m to Mm and the number of resistors such as ~ _ is also increased (3). It will also increase the design cost and make the circuit more complicated. [Summary] There is a m-issue a (four) thief; ^ in the touch-type (four) diode (just drive. '' road does not need to use a dedicated LED controller The driving circuit structure is quite simple, and the cost can be greatly reduced. To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a light-emitting diode that drives a plurality of strings of wires, each of which includes a plurality of wires. The first end of each string receives the string voltage. The body drive circuit includes a plurality of current balancers, a short circuit protection circuit, a voltage compensation circuit, and a dimming circuit.

The voltage at the second end of the short-circuit protection output string is greater than the value of the thank-you value. _ Ren-light (4) The second lion is larger than the Lili No. - Electric _ shooting is used for inspection The voltage of a string of lights is expected to not affect the voltage of the string. Dimming = Road = When the signal is received, the output control signal controls all the regulators to move:: ί! (4) When the money is turned on, 'Deformation according to the pulse width _ The optical signal output control is less than the voltage period of the _high-light string secret, and in the absence of detection of all the ambiguous & alternate action and no action 'to achieve the light source pulse width m2 clear drive circuit in each The second end of the string is connected in series with the current balancer. The feedback control is used to adjust the current flowing through the string, and the voltage is added to the U to adjust the string to make each lamp with different forward voltages. Strings ^ Van Wang point 7C 'Add a short circuit protection circuit so that there is a light in the string The polar body two-way LED driver circuit protects the lamp material from being burnt due to overcurrent. The LED driver circuit of the present invention does not require a dedicated LED controller 9 and the drive circuit architecture is relatively simple, which can greatly reduce the cost. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and understood. It should be known that the switch or at the #编_^ terminal. The first type switch or the switch circuit terminal does not conduct when it receives the low level signal (ie, the first end and the second end break ^;) the second ^ switch or switch circuit When the (4) end receives the money, it conducts (ie, the first end and the second end conducts) and does not conduct when the control end receives the high level signal (ie, the first first type switch or the switch circuit can be NPN bipolar transistor) (or “extreme (or source extreme), the control terminal is the base terminal (or gate terminal); the second type _= off, the path can be realized by PNP bipolar transistor (or p-channel field effect transistor), the first = the emitter (or the second end of the source is the set extreme (or not End), a control terminal or gate terminal). In addition, the resistor (resistOT) and the capacitor-> have a first end and a second end, and the diode, the light-emitting diode, and the Zener diode each have an anode end and a cathode end, and the following are no longer Narration. 2 is a block diagram of a driving circuit of a light emitting diode (10) in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to U 2, LED driving circuit 2 secret driving light source Η ~ h composed of light source 'each string h is formed by the number of smoke, _ turn of the LEDs D1 ~ Dn series consumption, where m, n is a positive integer, and 丄 is any - positive integer in h. Those skilled in the art should know that in order to make the material work properly, in each light string π, the anode end of the light-emitting diode Di should be connected to the β-end end of the light string li. The cathode end of the polar body Dk should be connected to the anode of the light-emitting diode D(k+1) and the cathode end of the light-emitting diode Dn should be connected to the second end of the light string η Ph ' where ~(η_υ中Any positive integer. The light source consisting of a light string n~im can be made as a backlight of a liquid crystal display, such as a direct-lit or side-lit backlight. Μ drive circuit 2 includes DC to DC conversion (DC/DC) conversion _ 2 Current balance 201123974 Circuit 22, short circuit circuit 23, Lai Xianwei%, and dimming circuit π. ^ 21 is a buck or boost converter, which converts or boosts the 5V, 12V, and the DC voltage MC of the tear grid. For the DC lamp string ==. 1) (: The service converter 21 usually adopts a switching power converter, which at least includes a power transistor and a controller (not shown). The controller feedbacks at least one resistor, The string voltage output by the inspection/DC converter 21 is replaced by a resistor to a feedback signal FB of an appropriate level. When the controller receives the == less than the preset value from the feedback terminal, the controller adjusts the switching of the power transistor to adjust the string voltage Vbus. When the control ϋ is sent from the feedback terminal __ the signal FB is greater than the preset date, ' Adjust the switching of the god crystal to reduce the string voltage _. If you connect another __ resistor in parallel with the resistance of the control (four) _ terminal, the feedback resistor of the controller will be connected. The overall resistance value decreases, so that the received _ credit amount from the back end must be less than the preset value. At this time, the controller adjusts the switching of the power transistor to increase the string voltage Vbus. The first end of each string η The DC/DC converter 21 is multiplexed to receive the string voltage Vbus to obtain the bias voltage required for conduction. The current balancing circuit 22 includes a plurality of current balancers, each of which is balanced, and the third terminal Pli of the corresponding string h is Self-feedback control is performed to adjust the current flowing through the lamp h so that the current flowing through the material li has a better current sharing effect within a 2% to period error range. Each current balancer includes a transistor QH and a regulator. 22i: in each current balancer, the first end of the transistor QH is secreted to the corresponding lamp li The second end Pli, the second end of the transistor Qli is coupled to the ground through the regulator 22i. When the regulator 22i is not in operation, the transistor Qli operates in the cut-off area. In the switch 22i action, the transistor qH works. In the linear region and the regulator is used to measure the current of the corresponding material and to appreciate the electric axis, so that the operating point of the transistor Qli is close to the cut-off region and the lamp is made when the current of the corresponding string h is greater than the current expected value. The string li current becomes smaller 'and the current of the corresponding lamp string u is smaller than the current period 201123974. The operating point of the control transistor Qli is far from the cut-off area, so that the current of the lamp string 变 becomes larger. Therefore, the transistor Qli is equivalent. A voltage-adjustable component for adjusting the forward voltage of each string li to balance the current flowing through each string u. The transistor Qh can be a current-driven bipolar transistor or a voltage-driven field effect transistor, wherein a field effect transistor is preferred because the transistor QU is controlled by a current-driven bipolar transistor. The current level of the signal vc 〇 N must be large enough to drive the transistors QU Q Qlm at the same time, which is a great burden on the design of the drive circuit 25. The short circuit protection circuit 23 is configured to: when it is detected that the voltage of the second end of any of the light strings is greater than the expected value of the overvoltage, the light emitting diode of the light source is short-circuited and the light string is not shorted. Normal, the output close signal is OFF, and when no light string is detected = the voltage at the second end is greater than the expected value of the overvoltage, it means that all the light strings n~lm are normal, so the output open signal is 0N. The turn-off signal or the turn-on signal (10) can be supplied to the DC/DC converter. n DG/DC turn (4) 21 is turned off when the closed money QFF is closed and the string voltage Vbus' is no longer supplied; the turn-off signal 0FF or the turn-on signal (10) can also be supplied. A circuit, such as a microcontroller that controls the main board of the liquid crystal display, so that it closes other peripheral components in sequence when it receives the off signal off. The electric compensation circuit 24 is configured to increase the string voltage Vbus by lowering the feedback signal ρβ of the DC/DC converter 21 when detecting that the voltage of the second end of any of the strings is less than the voltage expected value, and detecting that the string voltage Vbus is not detected When the voltage at the second end of any lamp (4) is less than the expected voltage value, 'the string voltage Vbus is not affected. The dimming circuit 25 is configured to control all the regulators 221 to 22m not to operate when the shutdown signal 0FF (with lamp_not normal) is received, and to turn on the number 0N (all strings are normal) When the dimming signal DIM output control signal in the form of pulse width modulation (puise_Wid than Modulation, abbreviated as PWM) is used to control all the regulators 221~22m to alternately operate and not operate, to realize the 201123974 PWM dimming. Each period of the dimming signal DIM includes a coincidence period and an disable period, for example, the dimming signal is a high level signal during the enable period and the dimming signal DIM is a low level signal during the disable period. In addition, for the control signal VC0N, when the dimming circuit 25 receives the OFF signal OFF (the lamp string is abnormal) or the dimming circuit 25 receives the ON signal on (all the strings are normal) and the dimming signal When the DIM is in the disable period, the control signal VC0N is, for example, a low level signal to control the regulators 221 to 22m not to operate; and the dimming circuit 25 receives the ON signal 0N (all strings are normal) and the dimming signal DIM During the enablement period The control signal VC0N is, for example, a high-level signal to control the regulators 221 22 22 m.

The first end surface of the current limiting resistor Rbi is connected to the dimming circuit 25 to receive the control signal vc〇N, and the second end of the current limiting resistor rib is connected to the control end of the crystal Qli and the cathode end κ of the shunt regulator TLi.

The current also flows through the transistor QH and the sense resistor so that the current flowing through the string π (which is the voltage ^) can be detected by the sense resistor Rsi. Assume that the shunt regulator TLi uses the integrated circuit TU31, which compares the reference voltage _ of the reference terminal r ^. When the reference terminal R voltage is greater than the terminal A phase t voltage (four), the shunt regulator is turned on and the cathode terminal K and Anodized Α is quite a slit, in the phase R R less than 2 ^ shunt regulator melon is not turned on and cathode end K and anode end A phase ^ ^ in this 201123974 case 'current hard value is reference electric house Vref divided by The resistance of resistor (6) can be expressed as Vref/Rsi, where Vref is related to the shunt regulator used, so the current expectation can be changed by selecting different shunt regulators. When the control signal VC0N is a low level signal, the control regulator 22i does not operate. This is, for the control of the transistor Qli, the low level signal is received in the cutoff region, and at this time, a current flows again. Detecting the resistance Rsi, the voltage across the sense resistor Rsi (ie, the R voltage) is zero, and the shunt regulator $TLi is turned on, so the regulator can't measure the current flowing through the string li and then feedback the control transistor Qli. Current. = control b tiger VC0N is a high level signal when the 'control regulator 22i action, at this time the transistor Q1 i works in the linear region and the regulator 22 is used to detect the corresponding string 1 i and the axis value Comparing, so that when the current of the material is greater than the voltage across the electric axis detection resistance Rsi is greater than the reference voltage Vref), the control terminal of the transistor QH is grounded to the ground 1 = operating point_stop region due to the conduction of the shunt regulator And make the material _ _ smaller; and ^ ^ body ^ machine is less than the current expected value (ie, the detection resistance Rsi force across the voltage is less than the reference voltage (four) 'because the shunt regulator TLi is not conducting, so that the control terminal of the transistor Qli; The signal ·' further controls the operating point of the transistor Qli away from the wearing area to increase the current of the lamp string li. 3B is another circuit embodiment of the current balancer shown in Fig. 2.

When the regulator 22i is actuated, the transistor QH operates in the linear region and the regulator 22i detects the corresponding lamp string u current and compares it with the expected current value 'so that the current in the string li is greater than the expected value (ie, the crossover voltage of the sense resistor such as When the voltage is set to Vsetl), the output terminal of the operational amplifier 〇ρι outputs a low level. (4) The operating point of the control transistor Qh is close to the cut-off region to make the current of the string Η small; and the current in the string li is smaller than the current expected value ( That is, when the voltage of the detecting resistor is less than the set voltage Vset1), the output terminal of the operational amplifier 〇P1 outputs a high level to control the operating point of the transistor Qli away from the cut-off region to increase the current of the lamp string u. 4 is a circuit example 4 of the short circuit protection circuit 23 shown in FIG. 2. The short circuit protection circuit 23 includes a diode D11~_, a Zener diode zdi: a circle = 31: a circuit. The anode end of each diode DU is coupled to the second phase Ph of the string h; the cathode end of each diode Dli is switched to the cathode end of the Zener diode ZD1, Zener diode The anode end of the body ZD1 is lightly connected to 23i, the first end of the switch circuit 232 is lightly connected to the dimming circuit 25, and the second end of the = is connected to the forbidden money (in this case, the grounding is provided with a low level. The voltage circuit 231 includes electric mR1 to R4 and a capacitor C1, wherein R4 is used for voltage division, and capacitor C1 is used for voltage regulation chopping. Switching circuit = switch Q1', so switching circuit 232 is a first type switching circuit. The first name of a light string is called ... Wang Ba...When the value is present, the Zener II does not collapse ZD1'. The voltage divided by the voltage divider circuit 231 will fall to the appropriate level of the voltage of the resistors R1 to R4. The bit field is connected to the control terminal of the switch circuit 232 to control the switch circuit 232 to be turned on. At this time, the disable signal is transmitted to the dimming circuit 25, and the dimming circuit 25 receives the OFF signal OFF. The second end of the string is not detected. When the voltage is greater than the expected value of the overvoltage, the Zener diode ZD1 does not collapse, and no voltage falls on the resistors R1 to R4 to cause the voltage dividing circuit 231 to output. The control terminal 232 controls the switch circuit 232 to be non-conducting, and the disable signal is not transmitted to the dimming circuit & and the dimming circuit 25 receives the opening 彳 § on. Therefore, the selection can be different. The Zener-polar body ZD1 of the breakdown voltage is used to change the design of the overvoltage expectation value, which is equivalent to designing the shutdown signal 〇FF when there is a short circuit in the light string. Figure 5 is the voltage compensation shown in Figure 2. A circuit embodiment of the circuit 24. Referring to Figure 5, the voltage compensation circuit 24 includes diodes D21 to D2m, a constant voltage source 241, a voltage dividing circuit 242, a positive terminal resistor R8, a negative terminal resistor R7, and an operational amplifier 〇p2. a switching circuit 243 and a parallel resistor R12. The cathode end of each diode D2i is coupled to the second end 相应 of the corresponding string li, and the anode end of each diode D2i is coupled to the operation unit OP2 In the inverting input terminal, the constant voltage source 241 outputs a constant voltage v〇, and the constant voltage v〇 is divided by the voltage dividing circuit 242 to generate a set voltage Vset2. The first end surface of the positive terminal resistance is connected to the voltage circuit 242 for receiving. Setting the voltage Vset2, the first end of the positive terminal resistor is coupled to the operational amplifier The non-inverting input terminal of the transistor 0P2, the first end of the negative terminal resistor is coupled to the constant voltage source 241 to receive the constant voltage Vo, and the second end of the negative terminal resistor R7 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier OP2. The output terminal of the operational amplifier 〇P2 is coupled to the control end of the switch circuit 243, and the first end surface of the switch circuit 243 is connected to the feedback end of the dc/dc converter 21 to adjust the feedback signal FB, and the switch circuit 243 The second end is lightly connected to the first end of the shunt resistor R12, and the second end of the shunt resistor R12 is lightly connected to the ground. In this example, the voltage expectation value is the set voltage Vset2 minus the forward voltage of the diode D2i. In addition, the constant voltage source 241 includes resistors R1 R R4, a first type switch Q1, a parallel circuit 201123974, a device TL1, and capacitors C1 and C2, wherein the resistors are connected to a circuit wheel formed by a switch and a shunt regulator TL1. Vo=(l+R3/R4)xVref, Vref is the internal reference voltage (4) used by the shunt regulator TL1 for comparison with the reference terminal R voltage, and the capacitor CbC2 is used for voltage stabilization filtering. The voltage dividing circuit 242 includes resistors R5, R6 and a current C3' where the resistors R5, R6 are used to divide the voltage to generate a set voltage Vset2 = R6 / (R5 + R6) xVo, and the capacitor C3 is used for voltage stabilization filtering. The switch circuit 243 includes a diode body P^RIO, R^, a capacitor C4, and a first type switch Q2, wherein the diode (10) is used to enable the unidirectional transmission of the resistors R1G and R11. The A||() p2 output is divided into voltage signals to be converted to an appropriate level to control whether the first type switch Q2 is turned on or off, and the capacitor C4 is used for voltage stabilization filtering. The positive terminal resistor R8, the negative terminal resistor R7 and the operational amplifier 〇p2 form a general comparator. At this time, the operational amplifier 〇P2 can be replaced by a comparator. However, in this example, a feedback resistor R9 is added, and the first end of the feedback resistor 4 is secreted to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 〇p2, and the second end of the feedback resistor R9 is coupled to the operational amplifier 〇p2. The output terminal 'so positive-side resistor hin, negative-side resistor R7, operational amplifier 〇p2 and feedback resistor R9 form a hysteresis comparator, which can effectively avoid noise interference. • When it is detected that the voltage of the second end of any of the strings is less than the voltage expected value, the detection voltage Vdect is less than the set voltage vset2, and the operational amplifier 〇P2 outputs the high level signal to control the switch circuit 243 (or the first-type switch Q2) to be turned on. The parallel resistance of 2° will be connected in parallel with the resistance coupled to the feedback terminal of the controller of the DC/DC converter 21 to reduce the overall resistance value of the resistor coupled to the feedback terminal, so that the controller receives the feedback from the feedback terminal. The feedback signal FB to which it arrives must be less than the preset value, so the controller will increase the string voltage. When it is not detected that the voltage of the second end of any of the strings is less than the voltage expected value, the detection electric & Vdect is not less than the set voltage Vset2, and the operational amplifier 〇p2 outputs the low level signal switching circuit 243 (or the first type Q2) If the voltage is not turned on, the voltage compensation circuit 2 does not affect the feedback signal FB received by the controller of the DC/DC converter 21 from the feedback terminal. This does not affect the output of the DC/DC converter 21 due to 201123974. Voltage vbus. FIG. 6 is a circuit embodiment of the dimming circuit 25 of FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 6 , the dimming circuit 25 includes a first switch circuit 251 , a second switch circuit 252 , and a third switch circuit 253 . The first end 251 of the first switch circuit 251 receives the dimming signal surface, and the first switch circuit 251 The second terminal 2512 is coupled to the control terminal 2523 of the second switch circuit 252. The control terminal 2513 of the first switch circuit 251 is connected to the short circuit protection circuit 2 & 3 to receive the turn-off signal 〇FF or the turn-on signal 〇N, and second The first end 2521 of the switch circuit 252 is connected to the control terminal 2533 of the third switch circuit 253, and the second end 2522 of the second switch circuit 252 is activated to a low level signal (in this example, the ground is used to provide a low level signal). The first end 2531 of the third switch circuit 253 is connected to the high level signal (in this example, the DC level Vcc is used to provide a high level signal), and the second end 2532 of the third switch circuit 输出 outputs the control signal VC0N'. The control terminal 2523 of the switch circuit and the control terminal 2533 of the third switch circuit 253 are not turned on when no signal input is received, and the control signal is a low level signal when the third switch circuit 253 is not turned on. It should be noted that the first-type circuit 251 is a first-type switching circuit because the first-type switching circuit 252 includes a first-type switching circuit, and the third switching circuit 253 includes a second-type switching circuit. Type 2 switch circuit. * Jade switch (9). When the control terminal 2513 of the first switch circuit 251 receives the low level signal), the first switch circuit 251 is not turned on, because of the ^ input. The control terminal 2523 of the second switch circuit 252 receives the low-level signal through the internal suppression R5 (,, the cross-voltage is zero) due to the smashing of the rhyme Qiu Leiyang R to reduce the rabbit emperor. Two π is not conducting. The control terminal of the third switch circuit 253 also receives the high level signal through the internal resistor R6, so the third path 1^=passes the output end of the dimming circuit 25 at this time (ie, the third switch circuit 25 passes the internal resistance _ light Tree) field, 14 201123974 VC0N is a low level signal to control the regulator 22 〜 22m does not operate. When the control terminal 2513 of the first-switch circuit 251 receives the turn-on signal 〇N (which is the high-level signal), the first-off circuit 251 is turned on, so that there is a dimming signal. The control terminal 2523 of the first-switch circuit 252 receives the dimming signal.
