發光二極體係較傳統的鎢絲燈泡具有四倍的效能。並且在經濟效益上,發光二極體與具有有毒水銀的日光燈相較之下,亦能維持更長的工作時間。因此,發光二極體將成為照明技術的主流。 The light-emitting diode system is four times more efficient than a conventional tungsten light bulb. And in terms of economic efficiency, the light-emitting diode can maintain a longer working time than a fluorescent lamp with toxic mercury. Therefore, the light-emitting diode will become the mainstream of lighting technology.
發光二極體電路中的開關電路部份,係用以對發光二極體進行充電以及放電。而發光二極體電路中的脈衝寬度調變模組,須要具有大阻容常數(RC constant)的阻容電路來進行補償。然而,傳統的設計中,具有大阻容常數的阻容電路雖然可以提供大量的充電電流,卻在放電過程時較緩慢,而具有較差的表現。因此,發光二極體電路的開關過程,將因上述阻容電路的影響而失去了線性度。 The switching circuit portion of the LED circuit is used to charge and discharge the LED. The pulse width modulation module in the LED circuit needs to have a large RC constant resistance circuit to compensate. However, in the conventional design, the RC circuit with a large RC constant can provide a large amount of charging current, but it is slower in the discharge process and has poor performance. Therefore, the switching process of the LED circuit will lose linearity due to the influence of the above-mentioned resistor-capacitor circuit.

The light-emitting diode circuit 1 includes an inductor 10, a set of light-emitting diodes 12, a power MOS transistor 14, a switching circuit 16, and a load 18. The inductor 10 is electrically connected to the power supply Vss and the first node 11. One end of the LED 12 is electrically connected to the first node 11 , and the other end is electrically connected to the load 18 . The load 18 is used to receive the output voltage 13 from the LED 12, and is further substantially connected to the ground potential GND. The power MOS transistor 14 is electrically connected to the first node 11 and the ground potential GND. The switching circuit 16 is operative to generate a switching signal 15 for controlling the gate of the power MOS transistor 14. The LED circuit 1 further includes a capacitor 120.

請參照第2圖,係為本發明之一實施例中,開關電路16之示意圖。開關電路16包含:誤差放大器20、脈衝寬度調變模組22、振盪器24、阻容電路26以及控制裝置28。誤差放大器20包含非反相輸入端(+)以及反相輸入端(-),其中非反相輸入端係用以接收參考電壓Vr,而反相輸入端係用以接收發光二極體12之輸出電壓13。參考電壓Vr係根據調光電壓Vd產生。調光電壓Vd具有活動週期及非活動週期,其中活動週期及非活動週期間的切換決定了發光二極體12的運作模式。誤差輸出21係根據參考電壓Vr及輸出電壓13產生。振盪器24用以產生振盪訊號23。脈 衝寬度調變模組22係實質上根據誤差輸出21以及振盪訊號23產生開關訊號15以控制功率金氧半電晶體14之閘極,進一步對發光二極體12進行充電或放電。阻容電路26包含:一開關262、第一電容260、第二電容264以及阻抗元件266。阻抗元件266則串聯於誤差輸出21與開關262及第二電容264之間。須注意的是,於其他實施例中,第一及第二電容之數目係可隨情況進行調整,而不限於本實施例中之數目。脈衝寬度調變模組22須要具有大阻容常數之阻容電路26以進行補償作用。然而傳統的設計中,具有大阻容常數的阻容電路雖然可以提供大量的充電電流,卻在放電過程時較緩慢,而具有較差的表現。因此,發光二極體電路的開關過程,將因上述阻容電路的影響而失去了線性度。本發明之控制裝置28以及阻容電路26係同時可提供大量的充電電流以及快速的放電機制。於本實施例中,控制裝置28包含比較器280以及及閘282。比較器280用以根據參考電壓Vr以及臨界電壓Vt產生比較結果281。當調光電壓Vd係位於活動週期,於本實施例中係為一高態電壓,則根據調光電壓Vd所產生的參考電壓Vr將大於臨界電壓Vt,以使比較結果281為高電位。而當調光電壓Vd係位於非活動週期,參考電壓Vr係小於臨界電壓Vt,以使比較結果281為低電位。然而,僅靠比較結果281,將無法分辨調光電壓Vd係位於正緣(rising edge)或是負緣(falling edge)狀況。換句話說,比較結果281無法保證在上述兩個邊緣狀況時,參考電壓Vr是正要變為大於臨界電壓Vt之值或是正要變為小於臨界電壓Vt之值。因此,及閘282用以接收比較結果281以及調光電壓Vd,以判斷 邊緣狀況,而產生準確之控制訊號283。 Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of the switch circuit 16 in an embodiment of the present invention. The switch circuit 16 includes an error amplifier 20, a pulse width modulation module 22, an oscillator 24, a RC circuit 26, and a control device 28. The error amplifier 20 includes a non-inverting input terminal (+) and an inverting input terminal (-), wherein the non-inverting input terminal is configured to receive the reference voltage Vr, and the inverting input terminal is configured to receive the light-emitting diode 12 Output voltage 13. The reference voltage Vr is generated in accordance with the dimming voltage Vd. The dimming voltage Vd has an active period and an inactive period, wherein switching between the active period and the inactive period determines the operating mode of the LED 12 . The error output 21 is generated based on the reference voltage Vr and the output voltage 13. The oscillator 24 is used to generate the oscillation signal 23. pulse The punch width modulation module 22 substantially generates the switching signal 15 according to the error output 21 and the oscillation signal 23 to control the gate of the power MOS transistor 14, and further charges or discharges the LED 12 . The RC circuit 26 includes a switch 262, a first capacitor 260, a second capacitor 264, and an impedance element 266. The impedance element 266 is connected in series between the error output 21 and the switch 262 and the second capacitor 264. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of the first and second capacitors may be adjusted as the case may be, and is not limited to the number in the embodiment. The pulse width modulation module 22 needs to have a large RC capacitance resistance circuit 26 for compensation. However, in the conventional design, the RC circuit with a large RC constant can provide a large amount of charging current, but it is slower in the discharge process and has poor performance. Therefore, the switching process of the LED circuit will lose linearity due to the influence of the above-mentioned resistor-capacitor circuit. The control device 28 and the RC circuit 26 of the present invention simultaneously provide a large amount of charging current and a fast discharge mechanism. In the present embodiment, control device 28 includes comparator 280 and AND gate 282. The comparator 280 is configured to generate a comparison result 281 according to the reference voltage Vr and the threshold voltage Vt. When the dimming voltage Vd is in the active period, which is a high voltage in this embodiment, the reference voltage Vr generated according to the dimming voltage Vd will be greater than the threshold voltage Vt, so that the comparison result 281 is high. When the dimming voltage Vd is in the inactive period, the reference voltage Vr is less than the threshold voltage Vt, so that the comparison result 281 is low. However, by merely comparing the result 281, it will be impossible to distinguish whether the dimming voltage Vd is located at a rising edge or a falling edge. In other words, the comparison result 281 cannot guarantee that the reference voltage Vr is becoming a value larger than the threshold voltage Vt or is becoming smaller than the threshold voltage Vt in the above two edge conditions. Therefore, the gate 282 is configured to receive the comparison result 281 and the dimming voltage Vd to determine The edge condition produces an accurate control signal 283.
以及控制裝置係用以根據調光電壓產生控制訊號,其中當調光電壓位於活動週期,控制訊號係打開第一電容之開關以使第一電容運作,俾使阻容電路進行充電,當調光電壓位於非活動週期,控制訊號係關閉第一電容之開關,俾使阻容電路進行放電。 And the control device is configured to generate a control signal according to the dimming voltage, wherein when the dimming voltage is in the active period, the control signal turns on the switch of the first capacitor to operate the first capacitor, so that the resistive capacitor is charged, when dimming The voltage is in the inactive period, and the control signal turns off the switch of the first capacitor, so that the resistor-capacitor circuit discharges.
因此,於調光電壓Vd在活動週期時,控制訊號283將開啟開關262以啟動第一電容260,使阻容電路26以較大的阻容常數執行充電,以對脈衝寬度調變模組22進行補償。而另一方面,於調光電壓Vd在非活動週期時,控制訊號283將關閉開關262以進一步關閉第一電容260,使阻容電路26以較小的阻容常數執行放電。因此,藉由控制訊號283,本發明之阻容電路26係可提供於充電時提供大量的充電電流,且能同時提供快速的放電機制。 Therefore, when the dimming voltage Vd is in the active period, the control signal 283 will turn on the switch 262 to activate the first capacitor 260, so that the resistive capacitor circuit 26 performs charging with a larger RC constant to the pulse width modulation module 22 Make compensation. On the other hand, when the dimming voltage Vd is in an inactive period, the control signal 283 will turn off the switch 262 to further turn off the first capacitor 260, so that the resistor-capacitor circuit 26 performs discharging with a small RC constant. Therefore, by controlling the signal 283, the RC circuit 26 of the present invention can provide a large amount of charging current when charging, and can simultaneously provide a fast discharge mechanism.
