Description

直接式發光二極體驅動裝置 Direct light emitting diode driving device

本發明係關於一種驅動LED驅動器的裝置,特別係關於一種 直接式LED驅動裝置。 The present invention relates to a device for driving an LED driver, and more particularly to a device Direct LED drive unit.

一般常見的發光二極體(light emitting diode,LED)驅動電路有兩種,一種是切換式驅動電路(switch drive),另一種則是直接式驅動電路(direct driver)。切換式驅動電路會使用一磁性元件(例如:誘發器)來儲存來自一電源供應器的電能,並且直接將此電能直接傳送給一LEC燈串。切換式區動電路的缺點是需要另外安裝一電磁濾波器(EMI Filter)、需要安裝較多的元件,以及會有明顯的輸出電流漣波(Output Current Ripple),但是並沒有較大的電容。 There are two common types of light emitting diode (LED) driving circuits, one is a switch drive and the other is a direct driver. The switched drive circuit uses a magnetic component (eg, an inducer) to store power from a power supply and directly transfer this electrical energy directly to an LEC string. The disadvantage of the switched zone circuit is that it requires an additional EMI filter, requires more components to be installed, and has an obvious Output Current Ripple, but does not have a large capacitance.

直接式驅動電路則可發揮高達99%的作用效率,僅需較少的元件,並且成本較為低廉。但是直接式驅動電路的輸出電流漣波則與功率因素有明顯的關聯性。簡單來說,若是有效的校正功率因素,便可以設計出幾乎不產生輸出電流漣波的直接式驅動電路。 The direct drive circuit can achieve up to 99% efficiency, requires fewer components, and is less expensive. However, the output current chopping of the direct drive circuit is significantly related to the power factor. In simple terms, if the power factor is effectively corrected, a direct drive circuit that produces almost no output current ripple can be designed.

因此,開發出一種可以在各種不同輸入電壓下仍可以高度有效的驅動燈具、具有低諧波失真(harmonic distortion,HD)特性、又具有高功濾因素及低量輸出電流漣波的LED驅動裝置是十分重要的事。 Therefore, an LED driving device capable of driving a lamp which can be highly effective under various input voltages, having harmonic distortion (HD) characteristics, high power filter factor and low output current ripple is developed.

請參見圖1所示,圖1係說明本發明一實施例之一直接式LED驅動裝置結構示意圖。在本實施例中直接式LED驅動裝置係包括有一主要LED燈串10、一次要LED燈串組20、一預調元件30和一直接式驅動器40。其中,主要LED燈串10包括有複數相互串聯的LED單元,並具有一第一端和一第二端。次要LED燈串組20具有一第一端和一第二端,並包括有複數相互串聯的次要LED燈串200組成,次要LED燈串組20的第一端係連接於主要LED燈串10的第二端,每一次要LED燈串200皆包括有至少一LED單元。 Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of a direct LED driving device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the direct LED driving device includes a main LED string 10, a primary LED string unit 20, a presetting element 30, and a direct driver 40. The main LED string 10 includes a plurality of LED units connected in series with each other and has a first end and a second end. The secondary LED string set 20 has a first end and a second end, and includes a plurality of secondary LED strings 200 connected in series with each other. The first end of the secondary LED string 20 is connected to the main LED. At the second end of the string 10, each time the LED string 200 is to include at least one LED unit.

預調元件30包括有一二極體整流器301和一功率因素校正模 組302。其中,二極體整流器301係連接於一電源,並且會將來自電源的交流輸入電壓轉換成一脈衝直流電壓。功率因素校正模組302係設置於二極體整流器301和主要LED燈串10的第一端之間,並且將脈衝直流電壓調整為一穩定之調控輸出電壓(regulated output voltage)。且預調元件30可供應多種範圍,且具有高功率因素和低低諧波失真特性的輸入電壓。需要注意的是,預調元件301並不需要提供調控過的輸入電流,只要提供一穩定且經調控的輸出電壓,此輸出電壓會存在有少量但合理的電流漣波。 The presetting element 30 includes a diode rectifier 301 and a power factor correction mode Group 302. The diode rectifier 301 is connected to a power source and converts the AC input voltage from the power source into a pulsed DC voltage. The power factor correction module 302 is disposed between the diode rectifier 301 and the first end of the main LED string 10, and adjusts the pulsed DC voltage to a stable regulated output voltage. And the pre-adjustment element 30 can supply a wide range of input voltages with high power factor and low harmonic distortion characteristics. It should be noted that the pre-conditioning component 301 does not need to provide a regulated input current. As long as a stable and regulated output voltage is provided, there is a small but reasonable current chopping of the output voltage.

在本發明的一實施例中,預調元件30可以具有一升壓式準諧振(boost-mode quasi-resonant)架構。此具有升壓式準諧振架構的預調元件301可應用於一邊界模式(boundary mode)的情的境下,也是一種最簡單的應用方式。經過預調元件30調控過的輸出電壓波鋒應落於電源的交流輸入電壓的最大波鋒位置。所屬技術領域熟悉該項技藝人士皆可輕易知曉的是,具有升壓模式的組件只能提供與交流輸入電壓相同或更高的輸出電壓。 In an embodiment of the invention, the preconditioning component 30 can have a boost-mode quasi-resonant architecture. The pre-adjusting component 301 with a boosted quasi-resonant architecture can be applied to a boundary mode and is the simplest application. The output voltage peak regulated by the pre-adjustment component 30 should fall at the maximum wave front position of the AC input voltage of the power supply. It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that a component having a boost mode can only provide an output voltage that is the same or higher than the AC input voltage.

請參考圖2所示,圖2係說明圖1中直接式LED驅動裝置的電路架構。預調元件30中的二極體整流器301係由四個二極體而形成。功率因素校正模組302包括有一第一電容器3021、一電感器3022、一控制器3023、一切換式電晶體(transistor)3024、一二極體3025、和一第二電容器3026。其中,第一電容器3021係並聯連接於二極體整流器301,並且具有一第一端和一第二端。電感器3022具有一第一端和一第二端。切換式電晶體3024的第一端係連接於電感器的第二端,而切換式電晶體3024的第二端則連接於控制器3023。第二電容器3026具有一第一端和一第二端。二極體3025係設置於切換式電晶體3024的第一端和第二電容器3026的第一端之間。第一電容 器3021和第二電容器3026的第二端,以及切換式電晶體3024的第三端則連接至一接地(common ground)。 Please refer to FIG. 2, which illustrates the circuit architecture of the direct LED driving device of FIG. The diode rectifier 301 in the presetting element 30 is formed by four diodes. The power factor correction module 302 includes a first capacitor 3021, an inductor 3022, a controller 3023, a switching transistor 3024, a diode 3025, and a second capacitor 3026. The first capacitor 3021 is connected in parallel to the diode rectifier 301 and has a first end and a second end. The inductor 3022 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the switching transistor 3024 is coupled to the second end of the inductor, and the second end of the switching transistor 3024 is coupled to the controller 3023. The second capacitor 3026 has a first end and a second end. The diode 3025 is disposed between the first end of the switching transistor 3024 and the first end of the second capacitor 3026. First capacitor The second end of the 3021 and the second capacitor 3026, and the third end of the switching transistor 3024 are connected to a common ground.

直接式驅動器40包括有一電流源401,並連接至每一次要LED燈串200。直接式驅動器40會選擇性的關閉選定的次要LED燈串200,以確保最大的LED驅動效率。電流源401係設置於次要LED燈串組20的第二端和預調元件30的功率因素校正模組302之間。直接式驅動器40(和所伴隨的主要LED燈串10及次要LED燈串組20)具有一預設的操作電壓範圍,此預設範圍涵蓋了預調元件30的預期最大輸出電壓和預期最小輸出電壓,也應該涵蓋預調元件30調控的輸出電壓範圍,以及因為溫度、二極體壽命和操作變數引發的LED電壓變化。 The direct drive 40 includes a current source 401 and is coupled to the LED string 200 each time. The direct drive 40 selectively turns off the selected secondary LED string 200 to ensure maximum LED drive efficiency. The current source 401 is disposed between the second end of the secondary LED string unit 20 and the power factor correction module 302 of the presetting element 30. The direct drive 40 (and the accompanying primary LED string 10 and secondary LED string 20) has a predetermined operating voltage range that encompasses the expected maximum output voltage and expected minimum of the preconditioning element 30. The output voltage should also cover the range of output voltages regulated by the preconditioning element 30, as well as the LED voltage variations due to temperature, diode lifetime, and operational variables.

直接式驅動器40會監測橫跨整主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20的電壓,並據以調整電流,使得主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20的整體輸出電力維持為一常數。 The direct drive 40 monitors the voltage across the entire primary LED string 10 and the secondary LED string 20 and adjusts the current so that the overall output power of the primary LED string 10 and the secondary LED string 20 are maintained. Is a constant.

如同圖2所示,本發明之直接式LED驅動裝置更包括有一連通路徑(communicating path)50,係設置於預調元件30和直接式驅動器40之間。當直接式驅動器40的有效動力範圍增加時,便可以減少次要LED燈串200的數量。舉例來說,當溫度上升使得流向主要LED燈串10的電壓變得十分微小時,便可以將次要LED燈串組20串聯連接於主要LED燈串10。如果次要LED燈串組20缺少足夠的次要LED燈串200來因應抵銷流向LED的電壓時,那麼流經直接式驅動器40之電流源401的電壓變會增加,使得整體供電效率降低。因此,一旦預調元件30中的控制器3023可以透過連通路徑50來感測流經主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20的電壓時,預調元件30便可以 減少輸出的調控電壓,並使得直接式驅動器40可以發揮最大的工作效益。此外,為了要透過連通路徑50感測流經主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20的電壓,並調控主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20的整體亮度,預調元件30會控制直接式驅動器40之電流源401維持穩定的光輸出。 As shown in FIG. 2, the direct LED driving device of the present invention further includes a communication path 50 disposed between the presetting element 30 and the direct driver 40. As the effective power range of the direct drive 40 increases, the number of secondary LED strings 200 can be reduced. For example, when the temperature rises such that the voltage flowing to the main LED string 10 becomes very small, the secondary LED string 20 can be connected in series to the main LED string 10. If the secondary LED string set 20 lacks sufficient secondary LED string 200 to counteract the voltage flowing to the LED, then the voltage flowing through the current source 401 of the direct driver 40 will increase, resulting in reduced overall power efficiency. Therefore, once the controller 3023 in the presetting element 30 can sense the voltage flowing through the main LED string 10 and the secondary LED string 20 through the communication path 50, the presetting element 30 can The regulated regulation voltage is reduced and the direct drive 40 is maximized. In addition, in order to sense the voltage flowing through the main LED string 10 and the secondary LED string group 20 through the communication path 50, and to adjust the overall brightness of the main LED string 10 and the secondary LED string group 20, the pre-adjusting components 30 will control the current source 401 of the direct driver 40 to maintain a steady light output.

反之,假設主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20的溫度降低時,供給主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20的電壓變需要比一般時更多。直接式驅動器40可以自主要LED燈串10逐步移除供給次要LED燈串組20的電壓,至所有的次要LED燈串組20都被關閉為止。直接式驅動器40會使預調元件30減少調控電壓的輸出,並使裝置可以維持最佳的運作效率。 On the other hand, assuming that the temperatures of the main LED string 10 and the secondary LED string group 20 are lowered, the voltage supply to the main LED string 10 and the secondary LED string group 20 needs to be more variable than usual. The direct drive 40 can gradually remove the voltage supplied to the secondary LED string set 20 from the primary LED string 10 until all of the secondary LED string sets 20 are turned off. The direct driver 40 causes the pre-conditioning component 30 to reduce the output of the regulated voltage and allows the device to maintain optimum operational efficiency.

預調元件30和直接式驅動器40之間可以數位化、類比電壓或電流的形式進行聯繫。為了避免當次要LED燈串200的數量已經接近臨界值時(也就是說,已達預調元件30的最大預期電壓或最小預期電壓),會就兩個數值不停的往返”交談”,因此有必要在預調元件30其控制器3023的一控制方法中加入一磁滯(hysteresis)。 The pre-adjustment element 30 and the direct drive 40 can be in a form of digitization, analog voltage or current. In order to avoid that when the number of secondary LED strings 200 has approached a critical value (that is, the maximum expected voltage or the minimum expected voltage of the pre-adjusted component 30 has been reached), the two values will be continuously "talked" back and forth. It is therefore necessary to add a hysteresis to a control method of the pre-tuning component 30 of its controller 3023.

因為預調元件30的動作只有一單一步驟,所以整體工作效率可以超過97%。如果連接預調元件30的直接式驅動器40可以達到98%以上,則根據本發明所接露之預調元件30和直接式驅動器40組合,其有效供電效率可以達到95%(97%×98%),這樣的供電效率極佳,且對於那些降低10%效率便會造成許多電量浪費或是產生熱散失的高供電系統(high power system)來說,顯得十分重要。 Because the action of the pre-adjustment element 30 is only a single step, the overall operating efficiency can exceed 97%. If the direct driver 40 connected to the presetting element 30 can reach 98% or more, the combination of the presetting element 30 and the direct driver 40 according to the present invention can achieve an effective power supply efficiency of 95% (97%×98%). This kind of power supply is very efficient, and it is very important for those high power systems that reduce the 10% efficiency and cause a lot of power waste or heat loss.

請參考圖3所示,圖3係本發明另一實施例的架構圖?因為高供電系統的效率降低會產生電量浪費或是產生熱散失的問題,所以更凸顯 本發明所揭示的驅動裝置之功效。在本實施例中,一個單一預調元件30係與複數個直接式驅動器40相連接,由於直接式驅動器40的費用相對來說十分便宜,因此並不會過度增加裝置成本。當供電增加時,可能會有必要增加預調元件30的體積,然而即使供電量變為原來的兩倍,預調元件30的體積和費用也不會高於原先的兩倍,所以,產生輸出電壓的成本仍然可以維持在低價的狀態。 Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is an architectural diagram of another embodiment of the present invention? Because the efficiency of the high power supply system is reduced, it will cause waste of power or heat loss, so it is more prominent. The efficacy of the driving device disclosed by the present invention. In the present embodiment, a single pre-adjustment element 30 is coupled to a plurality of direct drives 40. Since the cost of the direct drive 40 is relatively inexpensive, it does not excessively increase the cost of the device. When the power supply is increased, it may be necessary to increase the volume of the presetting element 30. However, even if the amount of power supply is doubled, the volume and cost of the presetting element 30 will not be twice as high as the original, so the output voltage is generated. The cost can still be maintained at a low price.

請參考圖4所示,圖4係說明本發明又一實施例的架構圖。本實施例與圖3的不同在於,本實施例的預調元件30其控制器3023並未使用磁滯控制方法。在本實施例中,LED直接式驅動裝置更包括有一電流回饋模組60和一連接於預調元件30其控制器3023內之一內部比較器30231的電流回饋路徑63。內部比較器30231具有一內部參考電壓(Vrc)。電流回饋模組60係用於調整控制器3023改變其所調控的輸出電壓(Vout),並包括有一積分電路(integrator)61和一電流通道(current passenger)62。電流回饋路徑63包括有一第一電阻R1、一第二電阻R2、以及一第三電阻R3。積分電路61係連接次要LED燈串組20和電流源401之間。電流通道62係連接於積分電路61和第三電阻R3之間,並依據一間接二極體D所產生的一控制電壓(Vadj)數值來選擇性增加或減少電流供給。而第一電阻R1和第二電阻R2係相互串聯連接後,再並聯連接於第二電容器3026。第三電阻R3的第一端係連皆於第一電阻R1和第二電阻R2的一接點(junction)。在這樣的連接方式下,可將一額外電流透過第三電阻R3注入第一電阻R1和第二電阻R2間的接點,而調控後之輸出電壓(Vout)和控制電壓(Vadj)之間的關係可以以下方程式表示:Vout=[(Vrc×R2×R3/R1)+(R3×Vrc)+(R2×Vrc)-(R2×Vadj)]/R3。 Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and FIG. 3 is that the pre-adjustment element 30 of the present embodiment does not use the hysteresis control method by the controller 3023. In the present embodiment, the LED direct drive device further includes a current feedback module 60 and a current feedback path 63 connected to the pre-tuning component 30 and an internal comparator 30231 in the controller 3023. The internal comparator 30231 has an internal reference voltage (Vrc). The current feedback module 60 is used to adjust the controller 3023 to change its regulated output voltage (Vout), and includes an integrating circuit 61 and a current passenger 62. The current feedback path 63 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a third resistor R3. The integrating circuit 61 is connected between the secondary LED string unit 20 and the current source 401. The current channel 62 is connected between the integrating circuit 61 and the third resistor R3, and selectively increases or decreases the current supply according to a control voltage (Vadj) value generated by the indirect diode D. The first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are connected in series to each other, and then connected in parallel to the second capacitor 3026. The first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to a junction of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. In such a connection mode, an additional current can be injected through the third resistor R3 into the junction between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and between the regulated output voltage (Vout) and the control voltage (Vadj). The relationship can be expressed by the following equation: Vout = [(Vrc × R2 × R3 / R1) + (R3 × Vrc) + (R2 × Vrc) - (R2 × Vadj)] / R3.

在圖4所揭示的實施例中,積分電路61係嵌設於於一運算放大器(Operational Amplifier,op-Amp)中,並具有一比較電壓(Vr)。電流通道62則為一單向的反向器(inverter),因為電流通道62僅容許將電流導入第三電阻R3以調控輸出電壓(Vout)降低,且考量到R1/R2之關係,經調控的輸出電壓不能高於其內部電壓值。 In the embodiment disclosed in FIG. 4, the integrating circuit 61 is embedded in an operational amplifier (op-Amp) and has a comparison voltage (Vr). The current channel 62 is a unidirectional inverter because the current channel 62 only allows current to be introduced into the third resistor R3 to regulate the output voltage (Vout) to decrease, and the relationship to R1/R2 is considered, and the regulated The output voltage cannot be higher than its internal voltage value.

在進行操作的過程中,如果通過電流源401的平均電壓值低於比較電壓(Vr),便調整提升積分電路61的輸出,而調整降低具有單向反向器結構的電流通道62的輸出,且電流通道62會被鎖住而無法運作。一旦通過電流源401的平均電壓值增加並高於比較電壓(Vr)時,則開始增加電流通道62的輸出。在進行操作的過程中,如果通過電流源401的平均電壓值低于比較電壓(Vr),便調整提升積分電路61的輸出,而調整降低具有單向反向器結構的電流通道62的輸出,且電流通道62會被鎖住而無法運作。一旦通過電流源401的平均電壓值增加幷高于比較電壓(Vr)時,便開始減少電流通道62的輸出。當電源流401的電壓低於一中間電阻值時,電流通道62會開始供應電流使得預調元件30的調控輸出電壓(Vout)降低,中間電阻值定義為第一電阻R1和第二電阻R2間的電阻值,並受到控制器3023中內部比較器30231的比較電壓(Vrc)所影響。在許多商用的控制器中,比較電壓(Vrc)的內部參數大概為2.5伏特。 During the operation, if the average voltage value through the current source 401 is lower than the comparison voltage (Vr), the output of the boost integration circuit 61 is adjusted, and the output of the current channel 62 having the unidirectional inverter structure is adjusted to be lowered. And the current channel 62 will be locked and will not work. Once the average voltage value through current source 401 increases and is higher than the comparison voltage (Vr), then the output of current channel 62 begins to increase. During the operation, if the average voltage value through the current source 401 is lower than the comparison voltage (Vr), the output of the boost integration circuit 61 is adjusted, and the output of the current channel 62 having the unidirectional inverter structure is adjusted to be lowered. And the current channel 62 will be locked and will not work. Once the average voltage value through current source 401 increases 幷 above the comparison voltage (Vr), the output of current channel 62 begins to decrease. When the voltage of the power supply stream 401 is lower than an intermediate resistance value, the current channel 62 begins to supply current such that the regulated output voltage (Vout) of the preconditioning element 30 is lowered, and the intermediate resistance value is defined as between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. The resistance value is affected by the comparison voltage (Vrc) of the internal comparator 30231 in the controller 3023. In many commercial controllers, the internal voltage of the comparison voltage (Vrc) is approximately 2.5 volts.

請參考圖5所示,圖5係說明本發明再一實施例的架構圖。本實施例中,積分電路61係嵌設於一跨導(transconductance)結構中,亦即由一驅動一比較器的轉移電導所組成,而電流通道62則具有緩衝的功能。本實施例和圖4的實施例相同之處在於,電流通道62不管是反向器的結構或是緩 衝結構,都只能依據第一電阻R1和第二電阻R2之電阻值比值來供給電流,以使得輸出電壓由最大值逐漸降低。 Please refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a structural diagram illustrating still another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the integrating circuit 61 is embedded in a transconductance structure, that is, a transfer conductance that drives a comparator, and the current channel 62 has a buffering function. This embodiment is identical to the embodiment of FIG. 4 in that the current channel 62 is either slow or slow. For the punch structure, the current can only be supplied according to the ratio of the resistance values of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, so that the output voltage is gradually decreased from the maximum value.

通常在一般的操作中,LED單元會升溫且流經LED單元的電壓會減少,並導致通過電流源的電壓增加,而造成供電效率的下降以及燈管產生廢熱的增加,因此,透過本發明圖4或圖5實施例中電流回饋模組60可以感測通過電流源401的電壓增加狀況,來響應降低輸出電壓(Vout)。如同調控輸出電壓,通過電流源401的電壓也會減少,以達到增加供電效率以及減少廢熱產生的效果。 Generally, in a general operation, the LED unit will heat up and the voltage flowing through the LED unit will decrease, and the voltage passing through the current source will increase, resulting in a decrease in power supply efficiency and an increase in waste heat generated by the lamp. 4 or the current feedback module 60 of the embodiment of FIG. 5 can sense the voltage increase condition of the current source 401 in response to lowering the output voltage (Vout). As with the regulation of the output voltage, the voltage through the current source 401 is also reduced to achieve an increase in power supply efficiency and a reduction in waste heat generation.

圖4或圖5實施例展現了本發明的卓越功效,特別是對於一應用類比調光的燈管來說更為明顯。在進行類比調光的過程中,當調光到最亮的時候,通過LED的電流會降低到相對很小的數值,因此流經LED燈串中每一個LED單元的電壓會比通過LED電流滿載時還要更低的多,所以,可以在進行類比調光時可以產生較高的操作效率。 The embodiment of Figure 4 or Figure 5 demonstrates the superior efficacy of the present invention, particularly for an application similar to dimming lamps. In the process of analog dimming, when dimming to the brightest, the current through the LED will be reduced to a relatively small value, so the voltage flowing through each LED unit in the LED string will be full than the current through the LED. It is much lower, so it can produce higher operational efficiency when performing analog dimming.

在另一個類似的狀態中,如果將一過熱保護機制應用於一LED模組以便在一過熱狀態下減少流經LED的電流,而經預調元件30調控的輸出電壓也會隨著流經LED的電壓下降而減少。如此便可以確保(LED?)裝置可以不用在過熱操作的期間對抗操作電壓的上升。 In another similar state, if an overheat protection mechanism is applied to an LED module to reduce the current flowing through the LED in a superheated state, the output voltage regulated by the preconditioning component 30 will also flow through the LED. The voltage drops and decreases. This ensures that the (LED?) device does not have to counteract the rise in operating voltage during the overheating operation.

此外,當利用單一預調元件30來驅動複數相互為並聯排列的直接式LED驅動裝置時,則需要將圖4或圖5進行一些修飾。因為在這樣的情形下,所需的控制電壓(Vadj)應該是保持在最低的電壓狀態下,而非前段所述的最高電壓狀態下。 Further, when a single pre-adjusting element 30 is used to drive a plurality of direct-type LED driving devices arranged in parallel with each other, it is necessary to modify some of FIG. 4 or FIG. Because in such a situation, the required control voltage (Vadj) should be kept at the lowest voltage state, not the highest voltage state described in the previous paragraph.

為了要解決這個問題,並且在安全性的考量下維持一絕對最 大輸出電壓,請參見圖6所示,圖6係說明將本發明之利用單一預調元件驅動複數相互為並聯排列的直接式LED驅動裝置之實施方式。每一個直接式LED驅動裝置(圖中未示)係連接於一電流回饋模組70,此電流回饋模組70十分類似圖4或圖5所描述的電流回饋模組60。每一電流回饋模組70包括有一積分電路71和一與積分電路71串聯連接的電流通道72,圖6和圖4或圖5的差異在於,電流通道72中間接二極體D的方向是相反的,在這樣的狀態下,電流通道72中反向的間接二極體D只能將電流導出。亦即,圖4或圖5中電流通道62是用來增加電流,本實施例的電流通道72是用來減少電流。 In order to solve this problem, and to maintain an absolute maximum in the consideration of security For a large output voltage, please refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the direct LED driving device of the present invention which uses a single pre-adjusting element to drive a plurality of parallel-connected LEDs. Each of the direct LED driving devices (not shown) is connected to a current feedback module 70, which is very similar to the current feedback module 60 described in FIG. 4 or FIG. Each current feedback module 70 includes an integrating circuit 71 and a current path 72 connected in series with the integrating circuit 71. The difference between FIG. 6 and FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 is that the direction of the indirect diode D in the current channel 72 is opposite. In such a state, the inverted indirect diode D in the current path 72 can only derive current. That is, the current path 62 in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 is used to increase the current, and the current path 72 of the present embodiment is used to reduce the current.

當所有的電流通道72都相互連接在一起時,電流通道72中的最低輸出電壓即被決定為一控制電壓(Vadj)。因為電流通道72的輸出電壓為最小,當電流流回預調元件30時,會使得預調元件30調控的輸出電壓足以供給主要LED燈串10和次要LED燈串組20足夠的電壓來維持所需的電流。 When all of the current paths 72 are connected to each other, the lowest output voltage in the current path 72 is determined as a control voltage (Vadj). Because the output voltage of the current path 72 is minimal, when the current flows back to the preconditioning element 30, the output voltage regulated by the preconditioning element 30 is sufficient to supply sufficient voltage to the main LED string 10 and the secondary LED string group 20 to maintain The current required.

在本實施例中,電流回饋路徑73(沒有先行詞)更包括有一保護二極體(securing diode)D1。保護二極體D1係設置於第三電阻R3和電流通道72之間,並且具有一陽極和一陰極。保護二極體D1的陽極係與第三電阻R3相連,陰極則與電流通道72相連。保護二極體D1僅容於電流由第一電阻R1和第二電阻R2的接點向預調元件30移動,以確保經調控的輸出電壓不會超過R1/R2之比值。 In the present embodiment, the current feedback path 73 (with no antecedent) further includes a securing diode D1. The protection diode D1 is disposed between the third resistor R3 and the current channel 72 and has an anode and a cathode. The anode of the protection diode D1 is connected to the third resistor R3, and the cathode is connected to the current channel 72. The protection diode D1 is only allowed to move current from the junction of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 to the preconditioning element 30 to ensure that the regulated output voltage does not exceed the ratio of R1/R2.

請參考圖7,圖7係說明直接式LED驅動電路的一實施方式。如同許多自適應直接式LED驅動裝置(adaptive LED direct driver)一樣,本實施例需要修飾LED電流以提供穩定適當的輸出電壓,以增加或移除附加於主要LED燈串10的次要LED燈串20數量。 Please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of a direct LED driving circuit. As with many adaptive LED direct drivers, this embodiment requires modifying the LED current to provide a stable and appropriate output voltage to add or remove secondary LED strings that are attached to the primary LED string 10. 20 quantities.

在這個實施例中,直接式LED驅動裝置包括有一電流感應電阻80、一第一電晶體81、一內部電流源82、一導流二極體(exceeding diode)83、一錯誤放大器84、一MONS電晶體85、一偏移電阻86以及一REST電阻87。 In this embodiment, the direct LED driving device includes a current sensing resistor 80, a first transistor 81, an internal current source 82, an conducting diode 83, an error amplifier 84, and a MONS. A transistor 85, an offset resistor 86, and a REST resistor 87 are provided.

其中,電流感應電阻80係連接主要LED燈串10的第一端和預調元件30。第一電晶體81具有三端,其中第一端連接於電流感應電阻80,而第二端連接於次要LED燈串組20的第二端。電流感應電阻80和第一電晶體81的連接可以感測流經主要LED燈串10以及附加次要LED燈串200的完整電壓(流經電流感應電阻80的電流有一部分轉化為供應主要LED燈串10以及附加次要LED燈串200的電壓)。內部電流源82則是連接於第一電晶體的第三端,且電流源82的電流值被預設為與達到最小輸出電壓時(也就是說,直接式LED驅動裝置的最小預測電壓),電流感應電阻80所感測到的電流值相同。 The current sensing resistor 80 is connected to the first end of the main LED string 10 and the presetting element 30. The first transistor 81 has three ends, wherein the first end is connected to the current sensing resistor 80 and the second end is connected to the second end of the secondary LED string unit 20. The connection of the current sensing resistor 80 and the first transistor 81 can sense the complete voltage flowing through the primary LED string 10 and the additional secondary LED string 200 (a portion of the current flowing through the current sensing resistor 80 is converted to supply the primary LED lamp) The string 10 and the voltage of the secondary LED string 200 are added). The internal current source 82 is connected to the third end of the first transistor, and the current value of the current source 82 is preset to be the minimum output voltage (that is, the minimum predicted voltage of the direct LED driver). The current sensed resistor 80 senses the same current value.

導流二極體83具有一陽極和一陰極,其中陽極係連接於第一電晶體81的第三端。錯誤放大器84具有一正向輸入端、一負向輸入端和一輸出端,其中錯誤放大器84的正向輸入端係連接於一參考電壓源(reference volatge source,Vrs),錯誤放大器84的負向輸入端係連接於導流二極體83的陰極。MONS電晶體85具有三端,其中第一端係連接於次要LED燈串組20的第二端,第二端係連接於錯誤放大器84的輸出端,第三端則連接於REST電阻87。偏移電阻86係連接於錯誤放大器84的負向輸入端和REST電阻87之間。錯誤放大器84和MONS電晶體85會形成一基礎電流源,如同前段所述之電流源401。 The diversion diode 83 has an anode and a cathode, wherein the anode is connected to the third end of the first transistor 81. The error amplifier 84 has a forward input terminal, a negative input terminal and an output terminal, wherein the forward input terminal of the error amplifier 84 is connected to a reference voltage source (Vrs), and the negative direction of the error amplifier 84 The input terminal is connected to the cathode of the diversion diode 83. The MONS transistor 85 has three ends, wherein the first end is connected to the second end of the secondary LED string unit 20, the second end is connected to the output of the error amplifier 84, and the third end is connected to the REST resistor 87. The offset resistor 86 is coupled between the negative input of the error amplifier 84 and the REST resistor 87. The error amplifier 84 and the MONS transistor 85 form a base current source, such as the current source 401 described in the previous paragraph.

當流經電流感應電阻80的電流值大於內部電流源82的預設 值時,過多的電流便會流向導流二極體83,此時,便會產生經過偏移電阻86的壓降,進而產生參考電壓源Vrs和REST電阻87之間的一偏移電壓,並使得流經LED的電流減少。減少的電流值可以下列方程式表示:ILED=(Vrs-R86×((VLED/R80)-I82))/R87When the current value flowing through the current sensing resistor 80 is greater than the preset value of the internal current source 82, excessive current will flow to the diode 83, and at this time, a voltage drop across the offset resistor 86 is generated, and further An offset voltage between the reference voltage source Vrs and the REST resistor 87 is generated and the current flowing through the LED is reduced. The reduced current value can be expressed by the following equation: I LED = (Vrs - R 86 × ((V LED / R 80 ) - I 82 )) / R 87 .

其中,Vrs是參考電壓源的電壓值、R86是偏移電阻86的電阻值、R80是電流感應電阻80的電阻值、I82是內部電流源的電流值、R87是REST電阻87的電阻值。 Wherein, Vrs is the voltage value of the reference voltage source, R 86 is the resistance value of the offset resistor 86, R 80 is the resistance value of the current sense resistor 80, I 82 is the current value of the internal current source, and R 87 is the REST resistor 87. resistance.
