Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an LED driving circuit. [Prior Art] U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2011/0025216 proposes a wide input LED driving circuit </ RTI> to allow a string of LEDs to simultaneously illuminate during the variation of the input voltage Vin. Referring to FIG. 1 'This driving circuit uses the bridge rectifier 10 to rectify the AC power supply Vac to generate an input voltage to the first power connection terminal Vin and the second power connection terminal GND, and the current unit 12 is a current source or a current limiter' connection. A fixed current Is is supplied between the first power input terminal Vin and a string of LEDs to the LED string, and the diodes D1, D2 and D3 divide the LED string into a plurality of LED groups G1, G2, G3 and G4. , multiple pairs of switches [SW1A, SW1B], [SW2A, SW2B] and [SW3A, SW3B] connect the cathode and anode of the poles D1, D2 and D3 and the input terminal G1I of the LED group G, G2, G3 and G4, G2I, G3I, and G4I and output terminals G10, G20, G30, and G40' controller 14 detects the input voltage Vs of the LED string. The control signals SW1, SW2, and SW3 are generated according to their sizes, and the switches SW1A, SW1B, SW2A, and SW2B are controlled. SW3A and SW3B to switch the configuration of the LED string. When Vs &lt; Vrl, the switches SWIA, SW1B, SW2A, SW2B, SW3A and SW3B are all turned on 'so the LED groups G1, G2, G3 and G4 are all connected in parallel; when Vrl &lt; Vs &lt; Vr2, the switches SW1A, SW1B, SW3A and SW3B is cut off, switches SW2A and SW2B are turned on, so LED groups G1 and G2 are connected in series 'LED group G3 and G4 are connected in series; when Vs>Vr2, switches SW1A, SWIB, SW2A, SW2B, SW3A and SW3B are all cut off, so The LED groups G, G2, G3 and G4 are all connected in series. The driving circuit of Figure 1 uses a single current unit 12. When multiple current paths are connected in parallel in the LED configuration, each current path cannot be driven separately, and each current path affects each other, so that a certain current path cannot be arbitrarily increased or decreased. The number of LEDs in series. In order to share the current is, each current path must have a 201247011 series number of LEDs, resulting in a lack of flexibility in the application. The number of LED groups used to limit the number of LED groups using a single electric H70 i2 must be ^. In addition, the current unit 12 is connected to the high voltage terminal Vin, which is complicated if it is implemented using a motor source. However, this kind of _ circuit wants to improve the LED output by switching the LED configuration. However, it is impossible to achieve the goal. When there is only one current in the LED configuration, the driving current of each LED is Is; when there are two current paths in the ED configuration, the driving current of each LED is reduced to half s/2, when the LED configuration In the case of four current paths, the current of each LED is as low as only Is/4. The brightness of the LED is proportional to its current, so different LED configurations can have very different LED output power. And to ensure that 1s is still enough to light the LEO after being shunted, Is must be large. These conditions are more severe in the number of LED groups. In some applications, it is even possible to make the current after shunting low enough to illuminate the LED. In addition, the driving circuit of Fig. 1 assumes that all the LEDs have the same electrical characteristics, but in fact, the LEDs are different from each other, even if the same batch of LEDs have different cut-in voltages (cut_in v〇 Kage) and current _ voltage characteristic curve (IV curve). When multiple current paths are connected in parallel, variations in the LEDs may cause uneven current distribution across the current paths. Furthermore, there are multiple LEDs connected in series in one current path, and the sum of the combined cut-voltages may be significantly different from other current paths. For example, the total cut-in voltage of a current path is lower than that of other current paths by one LED. The voltage is cut, causing the current path to conduct first, and the voltage Vs is low enough to illuminate the LEDs of other current paths. Because of the variation of LEDs, the driving circuit of Fig. 1 has application inconvenience. When the number of LED strings is increased or decreased or the LEDs therein are replaced, the reference voltages Vrl and Vr2 must be set to ensure that the drive circuit can operate normally. For example, if the number of LED strings is increased or the converted lED has a higher cut-in voltage, if the appropriate reference voltages Vri and Vr2 are not reset, in the future, when switching the LED configuration, the voltage Vs is too small to overcome 201247011. The sum of the cut-in voltages accumulated on one current path causes the LED string to fail to illuminate. According to the present invention, a wide input LED driving circuit divides a LED string into a plurality of LED groups, and organizes LED groups such as channels into a plurality of LED configurations. Each LED configuration contains one or more current paths, and the drive current of the LED string is adjusted with the number of current paths to maintain the current of each of the LED groups, thereby obtaining a stable LED output power. In one embodiment, the wide input LED drive circuit has a variable current unit to supply the drive current. In one embodiment, the wide input LED drive circuit has a plurality of current cells, the current being connected in series with a current path of the LED configuration to drive the current path separately.

Configurator 1 (苎LED, configured control can also cut off a * group to enable parallel porter 18 to provide drive current 11 to drive the LED string, which is adjusted by the number of current paths, for example, The lED group G thus 3ft is two: 彳σ, in order to maintain the current level of each LED group, thus obtaining the LED output power of the bribe. If necessary, the configurator κ 5 201247011 also provides the signal ISW control driver 18, the signal The ISW contains a single signal or a combination of the ##. In the same embodiment, the driver 18. is connected between the first power connection Vin and the configurator 16. The driver 18 contains the electricity unit, as in the present technology. The field is well known to those skilled in the art, the current unit is implemented as a current source or a current limiter, and the current limiter can be implemented with a resistor. In the circuit of Figure 2, the driver 18 is connected to the low voltage terminal Vin if it contains The current unit is realized by a current source, and the circuit thereof is simpler than the circuit of 1. Fig. 3 is a first embodiment of Fig. 2, taking n=4 as an example. The configurator 16 includes separators 20, 22 and 24 Each connection is between two adjacent LED groups, the road The diameter module 26 is connected to the first power connection terminal Vin and the LED connection terminals G1I, G10, G2I, G20, G3I, G30, G4I and G40, and the controller 28 is connected to the first power connection terminal vin. The drive 丨$ contains one The variable current unit 30 is connected to the path module 26 in a single current path, and is controlled by the signal ISW provided by the controller 28 to adjust the drive current ^, the size of which varies with the number of current paths in the LED configuration. 2, 22, and 24 use diodes, switches, or other components that can be connected and disconnected. Path module 26 is a circuit that uses switches, diodes, resistors, capacitors, transistors, or other components. One or more current paths are established between the first power connection terminal Vin and the variable current unit 30 together with the splitters 2, 22 and 24 and the LED groups G1 to G4. If the path module 26 includes a switch or other If the component needs to be controlled, the controller will provide the control signal PSW, which contains a combination of single-money or multiple money. If the switches 20, 22 and 24 use switches, the control signals are also supplied by the controller 28f.

Taking n=2 as an example, the resistor R1 is connected between the LED terminals G1I and G2I, and the resistor R2 is connected between the LED terminals G10 and G20. This embodiment uses a diode D1 as a separator. When the input voltage vin is not enough to turn on the six serially connected LEDs, two current paths are established, one containing the resistor R1 and the LED group G2' and the other comprising the LED group G1 and the resistor R2. When the input voltage Vin rises sufficiently large, a current path is established from the ^ED group G1 via the diode D1 to the LED group G2. The signal ISW is also controlled according to the magnitude of the voltage Vin. The magnitude of the current II of the variable current unit 30 is, for example, the driving current in the two current paths is n(2), and the driving current in one current path 彳f is 11 (1), 11 (2 it 11 (1).

For example, referring to FIG. The number of LEDs connected in series of LED groups can be different, and the user can increase or decrease the number of LEDs connected in series in any one of the LED groups. This embodiment can also eliminate SW1, SW2, SW3 or SW4 to exclude certain LED groups. Does not light because there is one for each current path ^ Zhuo Yuan 12 is uniquely driven, so it is not obvious that some LED groups do not affect other LED groups. In this embodiment, not only the variation of LEDs is eliminated, but also the current paths do not have to contain the same number. The LED group 'so the LED string can be divided into an odd number of LED groups. In some configurations, one current path contains more LED groups than the other current paths 201247011 group, after the *_*» group is turned on, The voltage at the output terminal will reflect the electric power W at the wheel input end. As shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, the voltage VI at the output terminal of the led ϋ / / t can be changed according to the input voltage change = the electric Vs The detection voltage = Η can be further improved to an adaptive reference voltage. For example, when the 3 heart test reaches ij voltage V1 to know that the LED starts to conduct, at this time, the voltage of the moon is enough to drive the voltage across a group of LEDs, and the voltage Vs ”V at this time can be used to dynamically set the reference power. If _ ^ ^, the number of LEDs is increased or decreased 'the drive circuit can automatically adjust the parameters of the J-Electronics' to maintain the best performance. The way to measure the voltage V1 can also be changed to ^ ^. Voltage or current _ It is already a well-known technique.
