Description

使用高電壓驅動多個發光二極體的裝置Device for driving a plurality of light-emitting diodes using a high voltage

本發明係有關基於發光二極體(LED)的照明裝置,尤其是一種使用高輸入電壓驅動基於發光二極體的照明設備之裝置。The present invention relates to a lighting device based on a light emitting diode (LED), and more particularly to a device for driving a lighting device based on a light emitting diode using a high input voltage.

發光二極體(LED)是一種基於半導體的光源,經常被應用在低耗電儀表和家電的指示器,應用發光二極體在各種照明裝置也已越來越普遍。例如,高明亮度的發光二極體已被廣泛用於交通信號燈,車輛指示燈,以及剎車燈。近年來,使用高電壓之發光二極體串的照明設備也被開發來取代傳統的白熱燈泡和螢光燈泡。Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor-based light sources that are often used in low-power meters and appliances, and the use of light-emitting diodes has become more common in a variety of lighting devices. For example, high-brightness LEDs have been widely used in traffic lights, vehicle lights, and brake lights. In recent years, lighting devices using high voltage LED strings have also been developed to replace conventional incandescent bulbs and fluorescent bulbs.

發光二極體之電流對電壓 (IV) 特性曲線類似於一般的普通二極體,當加於發光二極體的電壓小於二極體的正向電壓時,只有非常小的電流通過發光二極體。 當電壓超過正向電壓時,通過發光二極體的電流則大幅增加。一般來說,在大多數操作範圍,基於發光二極體的照明裝置之發光強度是和通過的電流成正比,但操作在高電流時則不如此。通常為基於發光二極體的照明裝置設計之驅動裝置,都是以提供一個恆定的電流為主,以便能發出穩定的光和延長發光二極體的壽命。The current-to-voltage (IV) characteristic curve of the light-emitting diode is similar to that of a general ordinary diode. When the voltage applied to the light-emitting diode is less than the forward voltage of the diode, only a very small current flows through the light-emitting diode. body. When the voltage exceeds the forward voltage, the current through the light-emitting diode is greatly increased. In general, in most operating ranges, the illumination intensity of a lighting device based on a light-emitting diode is proportional to the current passed, but not at high currents. The driving devices, which are usually designed for lighting devices based on light-emitting diodes, are mainly designed to provide a constant current in order to emit stable light and extend the life of the light-emitting diode.

為了提高基於發光二極體的照明裝置之亮度,通常是將複數個發光二極體串聯在一起,形成一個基於發光二極體的照明單元,而且複數個基於發光二極體的照明單元可以更進一步串聯在一起,形成一個照明裝置。每個照明裝置所需要的工作電壓,通常是取決於照明單元裡的發光二極體之正向電壓,每個照明單元裡有多少個發光二極體,每個照明單元是如何相互連接的,以及每個照明單元在照明裝置裡,是如何接收來自電源的電壓。In order to improve the brightness of the illumination device based on the light-emitting diode, a plurality of light-emitting diodes are usually connected in series to form a lighting unit based on the light-emitting diode, and a plurality of lighting units based on the light-emitting diode can be further Further connected in series to form a lighting device. The operating voltage required for each illuminating device is usually determined by the forward voltage of the illuminating diode in the lighting unit, how many LEDs are in each lighting unit, and how each lighting unit is connected to each other. And how each lighting unit receives the voltage from the power source in the lighting device.

因此,在大多數的應用中,都需要某種類型的電源電壓轉換裝置,來將一般較普遍的電源之高電壓,轉換成較低的電壓,以提供給一個或多數個基於發光二極體的照明單元。因為需要這樣的一個電壓轉換裝置,造成基於發光二極體的照明設備效率減低,成本增高,也難以減小其體積。Therefore, in most applications, some type of power supply voltage conversion device is required to convert the high voltage of a generally common power supply to a lower voltage to provide one or more light-emitting diodes. Lighting unit. Since such a voltage conversion device is required, the efficiency of the illumination device based on the light-emitting diode is reduced, the cost is increased, and it is difficult to reduce the volume.

為了提高基於發光二極體的照明裝置之效率和缩小其體積,許多技術已經被開發出來使這些裝置能夠使用諸如110伏交流電壓或220伏交流電壓的工作電壓,而不需要使用電壓轉換裝置。通常,照明裝置中的發光二極體被劃分為多個發光二極體段,每個發光二極體段可以通過相關的開關或電流源,選擇性地導通或切斷,並且隨著操作的交流電壓增加或減少,以控制器來控制開關或電流源。In order to increase the efficiency and reduce the volume of light-emitting diode-based lighting devices, many techniques have been developed to enable these devices to use operating voltages such as 110 volts AC or 220 volts AC without the need for voltage conversion devices. Typically, the light-emitting diode in the illumination device is divided into a plurality of light-emitting diode segments, each of which can be selectively turned on or off by an associated switch or current source, and with operation The AC voltage is increased or decreased to control the switch or current source with the controller.

隨著越來越多基於發光二極體的照明設備被應用於以高輸入電壓為電源的高亮度照明設備中,設計一種驅動裝置,以來自牆上的電源之交流高電壓為輸入電壓,而可以巧妙及有效地連接基於發光二極體的照明燈串,已經形成非常必要的強烈需求。As more and more light-emitting diode-based lighting devices are used in high-intensity lighting devices with high input voltage power, a driving device is designed to use an AC high voltage from a power source on the wall as an input voltage. The ingenious and efficient connection of lighting strings based on light-emitting diodes has created a very strong need.

本發明是為了提供一種可以在不同的高電壓範圍,例如從90伏至140伏或從180伏至265伏的交流電壓提供的輸入電壓範圍內,有效地驅動發光二極體串的裝置而設計。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to providing a device that can efficiently drive a light emitting diode string over an input voltage range provided by different high voltage ranges, such as from 90 volts to 140 volts or from 180 volts to 265 volts AC voltage. .

根據本發明的一個優選實施例,發光二極體照明裝置包括由一通用控制器控制的兩個發光二極體驅動電路。通用控制器是用來控制可以打開或關閉的兩個開關,以便以兩種不同的配置方式來連接兩個發光二極體驅動電路。此外,通用控制器並根據輸入電壓的變化,來控制流經其中一個發光二極體驅動電路的電流。In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a light emitting diode illumination device includes two light emitting diode drive circuits controlled by a universal controller. The universal controller is used to control two switches that can be turned on or off to connect the two LED driver circuits in two different configurations. In addition, the universal controller controls the current flowing through one of the LED driving circuits in accordance with changes in the input voltage.

每個發光二極體驅動電路包括一發光二極體單元,其中有被劃分為多個發光二極體段的多個發光二極體,每個發光二極體段具有一個與其相關聯的旁路開關。除了第一個和最後一個發光二極體段之外,每個發光二極體段有一個正端和一個負端分別連接到其前面的發光二極體段的負端和其隨後的發光二極體段的正端。還有一發光二極體控制器控制每個旁路開關,以旁路繞接或連接發光二極體單元中的相關發光二極體段。發光二極體單元又連接到一電流源。Each of the LED driving circuits includes a light emitting diode unit having a plurality of light emitting diodes divided into a plurality of light emitting diode segments, each of the light emitting diode segments having a side associated therewith Road switch. In addition to the first and last LED segments, each of the LED segments has a positive terminal and a negative terminal respectively connected to the negative terminal of the LED segment in front of it and its subsequent illumination The positive end of the polar body segment. A light emitting diode controller controls each of the bypass switches to bypass or connect the associated light emitting diode segments in the light emitting diode unit. The light emitting diode unit is in turn connected to a current source.

在本發明中,與每個發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關可以以兩種不同的方式連接。在第一方式中,旁路開關的一端連接到相關聯的發光二極體段的負端,而旁路開關的另一端連接到發光二極體驅動電路中的一公共節點。在另一方式中,旁路開關的兩端分別連接到相關聯的發光二極體段的正端和負端。In the present invention, the bypass switches associated with each of the light emitting diode segments can be connected in two different ways. In the first mode, one end of the bypass switch is connected to the negative terminal of the associated light-emitting diode segment, and the other end of the bypass switch is connected to a common node in the light-emitting diode drive circuit. In another mode, the two ends of the bypass switch are respectively connected to the positive and negative ends of the associated light-emitting diode segment.

在第一方式中,發光二極體驅動電路的電流源將公共節點連接到地,並且隨著施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓的增加,相關聯的旁路開關可以依次一個一個導通和斷開,然後隨著施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓的減小,相關聯的旁路開關再以相反的順序依次一個一個導通和斷開。相關聯的旁路開關也可以一開始時全部導通,再隨著施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓的增加,依次一個一個斷開,然後隨著施加到發光二極體的輸入電壓的減小,以相反的順序依次一個一個導通。在此方式裡,與最後一個發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關則是一直導通著。In the first mode, the current source of the light emitting diode driving circuit connects the common node to the ground, and as the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode unit increases, the associated bypass switch can be turned on one by one. Disconnected, and then as the input voltage applied to the light-emitting diode unit decreases, the associated bypass switches are turned on and off one by one in the reverse order. The associated bypass switch can also be fully turned on at the beginning, and then turned off one by one as the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode unit increases, and then decreases with the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode. Small, turned on one by one in the reverse order. In this manner, the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment is always on.

在第二方式中,發光二極體驅動電路的電流源將最後一個發光二極體段的負端連接到地。相關聯的旁路開關可以一開始時全部導通,再隨著施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓的增加,依次一個一個斷開,然後隨著施加到發光二極體的輸入電壓的減小,以相反的順序依次一個一個導通。在第二方式中,每個相關聯的旁路開關也可以被選擇性的而不是依順序的導通或斷開,如此可以根據施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓之電壓值,而導通適當數量的發光二極體。In the second mode, the current source of the LED driver circuit connects the negative terminal of the last LED segment to ground. The associated bypass switch can be fully turned on at the beginning, and then turned off one by one as the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode unit increases, and then decreases with the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode. , in turn, one by one in the reverse order. In the second mode, each associated bypass switch can also be turned on or off selectively, rather than sequentially, so that the voltage value of the input voltage applied to the LED unit can be properly turned on.

當輸入電壓VIN 在整流的90伏交流電壓至整流的140伏交流電壓的範圍內時,通用控制器將第一開關導通,第二開關斷開,使得兩個發光二極體驅動電路並聯連接。當輸入電壓VIN 在整流的180伏交流電壓至整流的265伏交流電壓的範圍內時,通用控制器將第一開關斷開,第二開關導通,使得第一發光二極體驅動電路中的發光二極體單元之發光二極體段與第二發光二極體驅動電路串聯。When the input voltage V IN is in the range of the rectified 90 volt ac voltage to the rectified 140 volt ac voltage, the universal controller turns on the first switch and the second switch turns off, so that the two illuminating diode driving circuits are connected in parallel . When the input voltage V IN is within a range of the rectified 180 volt ac voltage to the rectified 265 volt ac voltage, the universal controller turns off the first switch, and the second switch is turned on, so that the first illuminating diode drive circuit The light emitting diode segment of the light emitting diode unit is connected in series with the second light emitting diode driving circuit.

在第一優選實施例中,通用控制器發送一電流設定信號,根據輸入電壓的變化來控制流過第一發光二極體驅動電路的電流源之電流。在此一優選實施例的修改版本中,有一電流感測信號從第二發光二極體驅動電路的電流源反饋到通用控制器,因此通用控制器可以根據流經第二發光二極體驅動電路的電流源的電流,來控制流過第一發光二極體驅動電路的電流源之電流。In a first preferred embodiment, the universal controller sends a current setting signal to control the current flowing through the current source of the first LED driver circuit in response to changes in the input voltage. In a modified version of this preferred embodiment, a current sensing signal is fed back from the current source of the second LED driving circuit to the universal controller, so that the universal controller can flow through the second LED driving circuit. The current of the current source controls the current flowing through the current source of the first LED driving circuit.

根據本發明的第二優選實施例,兩個發光二極體驅動電路共用一個公共電流源,而不是各自具有其自己的電流源。兩個發光二極體驅動電路的發光二極體單元和兩個開關與上述第一優選實施例相同的方式連接。然而,在每個發光二極體驅動電路中,最後的一個發光二極體段的負端,與一連接到一個共用的公共電流源的電壓控制限流元件相串聯。According to a second preferred embodiment of the invention, the two LED driving circuits share a common current source instead of each having its own current source.

In the present embodiment, the apparatus includes two light emitting diode drive circuits and two switches SW1 and SW2 controlled by the universal controller 100.

As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of light emitting diodes in each of the light emitting diode units are divided into a plurality of light emitting diode segments, each light emitting diode segment having a bypass switch associated therewith. In addition to the first and last LED segments, each of the LED segments has a positive terminal and a negative terminal respectively connected to the negative terminal of the LED segment in front of it and its subsequent illumination The positive end of the polar body segment. In the first preferred embodiment, the current Ia of the current source 103a in the light-emitting diode driving circuit shown on the left side is also controlled by the general-purpose controller 100.

如圖1所示,旁路開關的一端連接到與其相關聯的發光二極體段的負端,另一端則連接到在其所屬的發光二極體驅動電路中的公共節點,該公共節點再連接到電流源103a或103b。 發光二極體控制器102a或102b通過檢測發光二極體驅動電路的一個或多個節點電壓或分支電流,也就是等同於根據施加到相對應的發光二極體單元的輸入電壓的變化,來控制相對應的發光二極體驅動電路中的旁路開關以旁路繞過相對應的發光二極體單元中的一個或多個發光二極體段。As shown in FIG. 1, one end of the bypass switch is connected to the negative terminal of the associated light-emitting diode segment, and the other end is connected to a common node in the light-emitting diode driving circuit to which it belongs, and the common node is again Connected to current source 103a or 103b. The light emitting diode controller 102a or 102b detects one or more node voltages or branch currents of the light emitting diode driving circuit, that is, equivalent to changes according to an input voltage applied to the corresponding light emitting diode unit. A bypass switch in the corresponding LED driving circuit is controlled to bypass one or more of the corresponding LED segments in the corresponding LED unit.

在本發明中,兩個驅動電路可以包括不同或相同的電路。例如發光二極體單元101a可以與發光二極體單元101b相同或不同,發光二極體單元101a裡的發光二極體段的數量可以與發光二極體單元101b裡的發光二極體段的數量相同或不同。在發光二極體段裡的發光二極體的數量,也可以與其他的發光二極體段裡的發光二極體的數量相同或不同。In the present invention, the two drive circuits may include different or identical circuits.

The number of light-emitting diodes in the light-emitting diode segment may be the same as or different from the number of light-emitting diodes in other light-emitting diode segments.

根據本發明,當輸入電壓VIN 在整流的90伏交流電壓至整流的140伏交流電壓的範圍內時,例如整流的110伏交流電壓,開關SW1導通,開關SW2斷開,同時電流源103a也被接通,結果將兩個發光二極體驅動電路並聯連接。According to the present invention, when the input voltage V IN is in the range of the rectified 90 volt ac voltage to the rectified 140 volt ac voltage, such as a rectified 110 volt ac voltage, the switch SW1 is turned on, the switch SW2 is turned off, and the current source 103a is also When it is turned on, the two LED driving circuits are connected in parallel.

當輸入電壓VIN 處於從整流的180伏交流電壓至整流的265伏交流電壓的範圍內時,例如整流的220伏交流電壓,開關SW1斷開,開關SW2導通,使發光二極體單元101a的發光二極體段與圖1右側所示的發光二極體驅動電路串聯連接。同時,通用控制器100根據輸入電壓VIN 的電壓變化控制流過電流源103a的電流Ia。When the input voltage V IN is in a range from the rectified 180 volt ac voltage to the rectified 265 volt ac voltage, such as a rectified 220 volt ac voltage, the switch SW1 is turned off, and the switch SW2 is turned on, so that the illuminating diode unit 101a The light emitting diode segment is connected in series with the light emitting diode driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG. At the same time, the general controller 100 controls the current Ia flowing through the current source 103a in accordance with the voltage change of the input voltage V IN .

經由直接感測輸入電壓VIN ,或檢測相關節點電壓,例如開關SW2一端的電壓,或發光二極體驅動電路的分支電流,例如電流源103b的電流Ib,可以偵測輸入電壓VIN 的電壓變化。開關SW2也可以是諸如二極體的被動開關。Via direct sensing input voltage V IN, or node voltage detecting the correlation, for example, a voltage at one end of the switch SW2, or a light emitting diode drive circuit branch current, such as current source Ib and 103b, can detect the input voltage V IN voltage Variety. The switch SW2 can also be a passive switch such as a diode.

根據本發明,當輸入電壓VIN 沒有高到足以使圖1右側所示的發光二極體驅動電路導通時,電流源103a會被導通。然而當輸入電壓VIN 高到足夠使圖1右側所示的發光二極體驅動電路導通時,電流源103a會被關閉。According to the present invention, when the input voltage V IN is not high enough to turn on the light emitting diode driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 1, the current source 103a is turned on. However, when the input voltage V IN is high enough to turn on the light emitting diode driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 1, the current source 103a is turned off.

通用控制器100和電流源103a或103b的操作原理和示例已經在相關的美國專利申請案No. 15/496,029中詳細公開,該專利申請案通過引用併入本文,並且將不再重複詳細說明。The principles of operation and examples of the general purpose controller 100 and the current source 103a or 103b are disclosed in detail in the related U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 15/496,029, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

圖2示出了發光二極體控制器102a或102b,如何根據施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓,而控制旁路開關的示例。 VLED_IN 表示施加到被控制的旁路開關的發光二極體單元的輸入電壓。該示例顯示有N個旁路開關分別連接在發光二極體單元中的N個相關聯的發光二極體段。當VLED_IN 增高時,旁路開關按照從與第一發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關,到與最後一個發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關的順序,一個一個依次導通和斷開,以增加串聯連接在發光二極體單元內的發光二極體段的數量。當VLED_IN 降低時,旁路開關也以相反順序一個一個依次導通和斷開,以減少在發光二極體單元中串聯連接的發光二極體段的數量。2 shows an example of how the light-emitting diode controller 102a or 102b controls the bypass switch in accordance with the input voltage applied to the light-emitting diode unit. V LED_IN represents the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode unit of the controlled bypass switch. This example shows that N bypass switches are respectively connected to N associated LED segments in a light emitting diode unit. When V LED_IN is increased, the bypass switch is sequentially turned on and off in sequence from the bypass switch associated with the first LED segment to the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment. Turn on to increase the number of light-emitting diode segments connected in series in the light-emitting diode unit. When V LED_IN is lowered, the bypass switches are also turned on and off one by one in reverse order to reduce the number of light-emitting diode segments connected in series in the light-emitting diode unit.

圖3示出了發光二極體控制器102a或102b,如何根據施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓VLED_IN ,而控制旁路開關的另一示例。在這個例子中,所有的旁路開關最初時全被導通,然後隨著VLED_IN 上升,從與第一發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關到與最後一個發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關的順序,一個一個依次斷開,以增加在發光二極體單元中串聯的發光二極體段的數量。當VLED_IN 下降時,旁路開關則以相反的順序,一個一個依次導通,以減少在發光二極體單元中串聯連接的發光二極體段的數量。應該注意的是,在這個例子中,與最後一個發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關應該一直是導通著。FIG. 3 shows another example of how the light-emitting diode controller 102a or 102b controls the bypass switch in accordance with the input voltage V LED — IN applied to the light-emitting diode unit. In this example, all of the bypass switches are initially turned on and then rise from the bypass switch associated with the first LED segment to the last LED segment as V LED_IN rises. The sequence of the bypass switches are sequentially turned off one by one to increase the number of light-emitting diode segments connected in series in the light-emitting diode unit. When V LED_IN falls, the bypass switches are sequentially turned on one after the other in reverse order to reduce the number of light-emitting diode segments connected in series in the light-emitting diode unit. It should be noted that in this example, the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment should always be conductive.

根據本發明如圖4所示,每個旁路開關的兩端也可以分別與其相關聯的發光二極體段的正端和負端連接。從圖4中可以看出,發光二極體單元201a或201b中的每個發光二極體段,都有從發光二極體段的正端連接到負端的相關聯的旁路開關。因此,每個發光二極體段可以由發光二極體控制器202a或202b獨立而且選擇性地控制。According to the invention, as shown in Figure 4, both ends of each bypass switch can also be connected to the positive and negative ends of their associated light-emitting diode segments, respectively. As can be seen in Figure 4, each of the light-emitting diode segments 201a or 201b has an associated bypass switch connected from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the light-emitting diode segment. Thus, each of the light emitting diode segments can be independently and selectively controlled by the light emitting diode controller 202a or 202b.

圖5示出了發光二極體控制器202a或202b,如何根據施加到圖4所示的發光二極體驅動電路的發光二極體單元的輸入電壓VLED_IN ,而控制旁路開關的示例。在該示例中,所有的旁路開關最初時全被導通,然後隨著VLED_IN 上升,從與第一發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關到與最後一個發光二極體段相關聯的旁路開關的順序,一個一個依次斷開,以增加在發光二極體單元中串聯的發光二極體段的數量。當VLED_IN 下降時,旁路開關則以相反的順序,一個一個依次導通,以減少在發光二極體單元中串聯連接的發光二極體段的數量。FIG. 5 shows an example of how the light-emitting diode controller 202a or 202b controls the bypass switch in accordance with the input voltage V LED — IN applied to the light-emitting diode unit of the light-emitting diode driving circuit shown in FIG. 4 . In this example, all of the bypass switches are initially turned on and then, as V LED_IN rises, from the bypass switch associated with the first LED segment to the last LED segment associated with the last LED segment The sequence of the bypass switches are sequentially turned off one by one to increase the number of light-emitting diode segments connected in series in the light-emitting diode unit. When V LED_IN falls, the bypass switches are sequentially turned on one after the other in reverse order to reduce the number of light-emitting diode segments connected in series in the light-emitting diode unit.

圖6示出了發光二極體控制器202a或202b,如何根據施加到圖4所示的發光二極體驅動電路的發光二極體單元的輸入電壓VLED_IN ,而控制旁路開關的另一示例。在本示例中,發光二極體單元中有15個發光二極體,而且15個發光二極體被分為4個發光二極體段。 4個發光二極體段中的發光二極體數量分別配置為1,2,4和8,使得發光二極體控制器可以控制相關聯的旁路開關而導通從1到15的任意數量個發光二極體,使其串聯連接在發光二極體單元中。6 shows the LED controller 202a or 202b, how to control another bypass switch according to the input voltage V LED_IN applied to the LED unit of the LED driving circuit shown in FIG. 4 . Example. In this example, there are 15 light-emitting diodes in the light-emitting diode unit, and 15 light-emitting diodes are divided into four light-emitting diode segments. The number of light-emitting diodes in the four light-emitting diode segments is configured as 1, 2, 4 and 8, respectively, so that the light-emitting diode controller can control the associated bypass switch and turn on any number from 1 to 15. The light-emitting diode is connected in series to the light-emitting diode unit.

如前所述,每個發光二極體段可以在圖4所示的發光二極體驅動電路中選擇性和獨立的被控制。在圖6所示的例子中,旁路開關不是依順序地導通或斷開。而是根據施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓VLED_IN 的電壓值下,可以導通發光二極體的適當數量,而導通或斷開相關聯的旁路開關。As previously mentioned, each of the light emitting diode segments can be selectively and independently controlled in the light emitting diode drive circuit shown in FIG. In the example shown in Figure 6, the bypass switches are not turned on or off sequentially. Rather, depending on the voltage value applied to the input voltage V LED — IN of the light-emitting diode unit, the appropriate number of light-emitting diodes can be turned on to turn the associated bypass switch on or off.

圖6中的表格顯示如何根據施加到發光二極體單元的輸入電壓值導通或斷開4個相關聯的旁路開關。從表中可以看出,當發光二極體輸入電壓VLED_IN 為第1電壓位階時,只有與發光二極體段-1相關聯的旁路開關斷開。因此,在發光二極體單元中只有一個發光二極體是導電的。當發光二極體輸入電壓VLED_IN 處於為第2電壓位階時,只有與發光二極體段-2相關聯的旁路開關斷開,並且因為發光二極體段-2只具有兩個發光二極體,發光二極體單元中有兩個發光二極體導通。The table in Figure 6 shows how the four associated bypass switches are turned on or off depending on the input voltage value applied to the LED unit. As can be seen from the table, when the light-emitting diode input voltage V LED — IN is the first voltage level, only the bypass switch associated with the light-emitting diode segment-1 is turned off. Therefore, only one of the light emitting diodes in the light emitting diode unit is electrically conductive. When the LED input voltage V LED_IN is at the second voltage level, only the bypass switch associated with the LED segment-2 is turned off, and because the LED segment-2 has only two illuminations In the polar body, two light emitting diodes are turned on in the light emitting diode unit.

如圖6的表所示,,可以看出隨著VLED_IN 在15個不同的電壓位階逐漸增高輸入電壓值,由於發光二極體控制器選擇性的導通或斷開旁路開關的組合,結果發光二極體單元中導通的發光二極體為1,2,3,···,或15。同樣的,隨著VLED_IN 在15個不同的電壓位階逐漸減小輸入電壓值,由於發光二極體控制器選擇性的導通或斷開旁路開關的組合,結果使得發光二極體單元中有15,14,13,···,或1個發光二極體導通。As shown in the table of Figure 6, it can be seen that as V LED_IN gradually increases the input voltage value at 15 different voltage levels, the combination of the on or off bypass switch is selectively turned on by the LED controller. The light-emitting diode that is turned on in the light-emitting diode unit is 1, 2, 3, . . . , or 15. Similarly, as V LED_IN gradually reduces the input voltage value at 15 different voltage levels, the LED diode controller selectively turns on or off the combination of the bypass switches, resulting in a light-emitting diode unit. 15,14,13,···, or one light-emitting diode is turned on.

如圖7所示,除了控制電流源103a之外,本實施例中的通用控制器700接收來自電流源703b的電流感測信號,使得可以通過感測流過電流源703b的電流Ib來決定電流源103a的電流Ia。還可以看出,每個發光二極體段還有相關聯的旁路開關從發光二極體段的負端連接到公共節點,公共節點再連接到電流源103a 或703b。As shown in FIG. 7, in addition to the control current source 103a, the universal controller 700 in this embodiment receives the current sensing signal from the current source 703b so that the current can be determined by sensing the current Ib flowing through the current source 703b. Current Ia of source 103a. It can also be seen that each of the light-emitting diode segments also has an associated bypass switch connected from the negative terminal of the light-emitting diode segment to the common node, which is in turn connected to the current source 103a or 703b.

As a result, two light emitting diode driving circuits are connected in parallel.

當輸入電壓VIN 處於從整流的180伏交流電壓至整流的265伏交流電壓的範圍內時,例如整流的220伏交流電壓,開關SW1斷開,開關SW2導通,使發光二極體單元101a的發光二極體段與圖7右側所示的發光二極體驅動電路串聯連接。同時,通用控制器700根據來自電流源703b的電流感測信號,控制流過電流源103a的電流Ia。When the input voltage V IN is in a range from the rectified 180 volt ac voltage to the rectified 265 volt ac voltage, such as a rectified 220 volt ac voltage, the switch SW1 is turned off, and the switch SW2 is turned on, so that the illuminating diode unit 101a The light emitting diode segment is connected in series with the light emitting diode driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG.
