Specifically, the current regulating circuit 24 has an electric m early το and n weeks of the military unit. The system determines a reference current Iref.

Therefore, in the case where the reference current source is applied to the transistor (1), if the size of the transistor Q2 (that is, the width-to-length ratio of the current channel) is doubling the size of the transistor Q2, the drain of the transistor Q2 flows. The drive current will be the reference current source, U. In this case, the transistor Q2 is not used as a current regulating end, and is integrated with the cathode (n-pole) of the LED of the LED to make the adjusted driving current I-effectively drive the LED. The degree of the first current U and the reference current source Ir 2 is generated. In order to make the proportional relationship between the driving electric power and the ref 3 more precise, the zeta potential of the transistor is preferably adjusted to be equal to each other with the zeta potential of the plug of m ιμ φ ώ Q.

However, the charge pump drive circuit 1G# which is not known in Fig. Ua) is driven by a fixed voltage, as described above, so that the intensity of the LED of the light-emitting diode cannot be effectively controlled. In the fixed current driving method according to the present invention, in order to ensure that the current regulating circuit 24 can perform the current regulating function, the drain of the transistor ... and the electrode of the transistor Q Q2 must maintain a high operating voltage to ensure the transistor. Both Q1 and Q2 operate in a saturation region (referred to as (10) R. Therefore, the charge pump driving circuit 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention employs an operational amplifier, an inverting input terminal (0) of 0P as a feedback (four) terminal: As mentioned above, the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier OP is integrated with the drain of the 2 crystal Q1, and the drain potential of the transistor Q1 is followed by the non-inverting input terminal (1) of the differential amplifier 11 〇P ( That is, the drain potential of the transistor Q2 varies. Therefore, the feedback signal provided from the feedback detection terminal represents the radian potential of the electric Japanese and Japanese bodies Q1 and Q2. Based on the feedback signal and the reference voltage The difference between the sources vref, the error amplifier 25 generates an error signal Verr' for controlling the variable resistance unit VAR. Since the variable resistance value of the variable resistance unit var is connected in series between the input voltage source Vin and the pump capacitor Cp, Can be adjusted during the charging phase The charging current of the capacitor Cp adjusts the charging current of the pumping valley Cp in the discharging phase, thereby changing the driving voltage VQut provided by the pump capacitor Cp. After the possible filter 26 removes the possible chopping, the driving voltage 10out The anode of the LED is supplied to the anode of the LED, and the variation of the driving voltage V." causes a change in the potential of the gate Q1 of the electric body Q1. Therefore, the transmission error is caused by the change of the driving voltage V. The signal verr and the variable resistance unit VAR can effectively adjust the feedback signal Vfb to be equal to the reference voltage source vref. Therefore, if the reference voltage source Vref is set high enough to allow the transistors Q1 and Q2 to operate in the saturation region, then The driving voltage Vcut can be adjusted to ensure that the current regulating circuit 24 can perform a current regulating operation to provide a driving current having a predetermined value. - The first is to source the source of k唬Vfb, according to the first aspect of the present invention. The charge pump driving power 4 20 of the embodiment is obviously different from the conventional electric pump driving circuit 1 Q shown in FIG. 1(4), and the m, _ port is directly adopted by the charge pump driving circuit 10 which is not known in FIG. 1(a). drive The dynamic voltage Vaut (or its divided voltage) is used as the feedback signal vfb 'only to maintain the driving voltage Vcut at a predetermined regulated voltage.

Specifically, the drain-source current path coupling 11 1294256 of the MOS transistor is coupled between the input voltage source Vin and the charge pump 22, while the gate of the M〇s body is controlled by the error signal Verr. By the error signal ν. The equivalent on-resistance of the drain current source channel of Zhou Chu MOS transistor IsUiO, whether in the charging phase or the discharging phase, the input voltage is in / /, the current flowing between the charge pump 22 can be effectively controlled. 3 shows a detailed circuit diagram of a book pump circuit 30 for a light-emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the charge pump drive of the second embodiment. The circuit 3Q employs a multimode charge pump 32. Specifically, the multimode charge pump 32 has seven switches S1 to S7 and two pump capacitors Cpl and Cp2 coupled to each other to form a configuration as shown in Fig. 3. The multi-mode charge pump 32 can be operated in 1x, 1⁄5x mode, or 2x mode, in the 1x mode, in the control mode switch s丨 to S7 (ON) and non-conduction (〇FF). The switches 81 and S7 are maintained in a non-conducting (〇FF) state, and the switches are maintained in the V-on state by % and J, so the generated driving voltage v〇ut is equivalent to the input voltage source Vin. ^ at 1 · 5 In the double-twist type, the multi-mode charge pump 32 alternately performs the charging and discharging phases according to the switching control signal (6) generated by the switching control circuit 33, so that the generated driving voltage is 5 彳" Input voltage source Vin. When performing the charging phase, switch S 1. S3, S4, ite c (: |: 卜 " ” 6 white is maintained in the non-conducting (OFF) state, while the switches * S5 and S7 are maintained in the conducting (〇N) state. When the discharge phase is performed, the switch S2, S5, and 盥S7 are maintained in a non-conducting (OFF) state, while switches S1, S3, S4, and gold C / Γ α * ” S6 are maintained in a conducting (〇Ν) state. 12 1294256 In the double pull type, the multi-mode charge pump 32 alternately performs a charging slave slave and a discharge phase according to the switching control signals sC1 and SC2 generated by the switching control packet ^3, thereby causing the generated driving voltage. It is equivalent to twice the input voltage source Vin. When the charging phase is performed, the switches SI S2, S3, and S6 are maintained in a non-conducting (〇FF) state, and the switches S4 S5 and S7 are maintained in an ON state. When the discharge phase is performed, the two switches S2, S3, S4, S5, and S7 are maintained in a non-conducting (〇FF) state, and the switches S1 and S6 are maintained in an ON state. The operation mode of 32, the charge pump driving circuit 3 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a mode The selection circuit 37 is configured to apply the _ mode selection signal (10) to the multi-mode charge fruit 32. The pull selection circuit 37 should detect any of the input voltage source Vin, the driving voltage, or the feedback (4)~ or a combination thereof. The multi-mode charge fruit 32 is set to the ι mode, the 15 mode, or the double mode. Since the input source is usually time-dependent, for example, when the input voltage source 4 is implemented, When entering the Gongyi, Tower λ, + inter-gas battery, multiple... At first, at a relatively high potential', the pump 32 is set to the lower rate mode, and the input voltage source is then at a relatively low potential, and ' The input is changed to set to the higher magnification mode.弋 & Ho pump 32 Another method is to determine how to determine the source V- and assist the mode selection I..., the operation mode of the loose charge pump 32 via the detection drive circuit 37. In the case of a multi-mode charge pump, it is still unable to provide a sufficiently large driving voltage W, that is, the mode is not multi-mode 13 1294256. The charge mill 32 may have to enter a mode higher than the currently set. The driving voltage V is provided when the multi-mode charge pump 32 operates in the higher rate mode. When an excessive phenomenon occurs, it means that the multi-turn charge pump 32 may have to enter a mode lower than the currently set one. In order to save unnecessary power consumption and improve driving efficiency. In still another method, the mode selection circuit 37 determines how to set the operation mode of the multi-mode charge pump 32 according to the feedback signal Vfb. Specifically, when multiple When the mode charge pump 32 operates in the lower rate mode, it is observed that the feedback signal vfb is lower than the reference voltage source Vref, and the current regulating circuit 34 cannot provide the required driving current W, that is, the multiple:: 32 may have to enter a higher rate than the currently set. Conversely, the Tianzhong heavy mode charge pump 3 2 operates at a higher rate mode: when 'observed feedback No. Vfb is higher than the reference voltage source~ too much, that is, the multi-mode charge 纟32 may have to enter a mode more than the current set to save unnecessary power consumption and improve the driving efficiency.

Specifically, the first variable resistance unit VAR1 is connected in series with the switch. S1, the second variable resistance unit VAR2 is connected in series S3, and the third variable resistance unit VAR3 is connected in series to the switch S5. Like the single variable resistance unit VAR of the second embodiment, each of the variable resistance units VAR1, VAR3, and VAR5 of the third embodiment is also At the same time, it is controlled by the error signal Verr generated by the error amplifier 45. When the switch S1 is in the ON state, the first variable resistance unit VAR1 can adjust to flow into/out the first pump capacitor Cpl via the switch S1. When the switch S3 is in the ON state, the second variable resistor unit VAR2 can adjust the current flowing into/out of the second pump capacitor Cp2 via the switch S3. When the switch S5 is in the ON state, the third variable resistance unit VAR3 can adjust the current flowing into/out of the first or second pump capacitor Cpl or Cp2 via the switch S5. Fig. 5 is a detailed circuit diagram showing a charge pump driving circuit 50 for a light emitting diode according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that the fourth embodiment employs three P-type MOS transistors ST1, ST3, and ST5 in place of the switch S1 of the third embodiment and the variable resistor unit VAR1, respectively. S3 and variable resistance unit VAR2, and switch S5 and variable resistance unit VAR3. In addition to the simple switching characteristics of ON and OFF, the MOS transistor can control and adjust the current path between the drain and the source by the gate potential while operating in the ON state. Since the equivalent on-resistance Rds(()n) is equivalent, the MOS transistor can implement the circuit function of both the simple switch and the variable resistor unit. Therefore, the 15 1294256 P-type MOS transistors ST1, ST3, and ST5 are controlled to be turned "ON" and "OFF" by the switching control signals SCI and SC2 generated by the switching control circuit 53, but are generated by the error amplifier 55. The error signal Verr determines the equivalent on-resistance Rds(on) of its current source between the sources. Specifically, the source of the P-type MOS transistor ST1 is coupled to the input voltage source Vin, and the drain is coupled to the first electrode of the first pump capacitor Cpl and the switch S7. When the P-type MOS transistor ST1 is in an ON state, the error signal Verr generated by the error amplifier 55 passes through the gate of the P-type MOS transistor ST1 to adjust the current flowing through its current path. The source of the P-type MOS transistor ST3 is coupled to the first electrode of the second pump capacitor Cp2 and the switch S2, and the drain is coupled to the switch S6 and the driving voltage VQut. When the P-type MOS transistor ST3 is in an ON state, the error signal Verr generated by the error amplifier 55 passes through the gate of the P-type MOS transistor ST3 to adjust the current flowing through its current path. The source of the P-type MOS transistor ST5 is coupled to the second electrode of the second pump capacitor Cp2 and the switch S4, and the drain is coupled to the second electrode of the first pump capacitor Cpl and the switch S6. When the P-type MOS transistor ST5 is in an ON state, the error signal Verr generated by the error amplifier 55 passes through the gate of the P-type MOS transistor ST5 to adjust the current flowing through its current path.

On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover various modifications and modifications of the embodiments of the invention.
