Description
本發明係有關一種發光二極體(Light Emitting Diode;LED),特別是關於一種抗蟲的LED控制電路及方法。The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED), and more particularly to an insect resistant LED control circuit and method.
蒼蠅、蚊子等昆蟲對人類生活品質的危害極大,但最直接的殺蟲劑又對人體及環境有害,因此,捕蠅紙、捕蚊燈等各式各樣針對昆蟲對氣味、溼度、光亮等特性的除蟲產品不斷被研發。光線對於昆蟲的生態有極大的影響力,例如螢火蟲便是依賴其腹部螢光在黑暗中的閃光頻率做為吸引異性交配以及溝通的工具。很多昆蟲可以感知遠高於人眼的閃光頻率,而且某些閃光頻率中的擺動態樣(swing pattern)能夠讓昆蟲焦慮及不舒服。Insects such as flies and mosquitoes are extremely harmful to human quality of life, but the most direct insecticides are harmful to the human body and the environment. Therefore, fly paper, mosquito traps, etc. are all kinds of insects for odor, humidity, light, etc. Characteristic de-worm products are constantly being developed. Light has a great influence on the ecology of insects. For example, fireflies rely on the flash frequency of their abdominal fluorescence in the dark as a tool to attract heterosexual mating and communication. Many insects can perceive the flash frequency much higher than the human eye, and the swing pattern in some flash frequencies can make the insects anxious and uncomfortable.
LED是一種讓電流順向流過半導體p-n接面而發光的器件,通常採用雙異質接面和量子井結構。在1962年時,奇異(General Electric;GE)公司利用GaAsP首次將紅色LED商品化,最初的紅色LED的光通量為0.11m/W,約是普通燈光的1/150,其發光效率大約每10年提高一個數量級。最近,隨著藍色、綠色LED實用化,具有高功率的白光LED亦出現於市面上,LED從裝飾用途逐漸轉向應用到照明上,朝著取代傳統燈泡的目標前進。除了環保、省電的特性以外,LED還可以受控以極高的頻率閃爍,其開關頻率可達超過MHz的範圍。在習知技藝中,已經有許多利用PWM控制LED光源的亮度的方法。LEDs are devices that illuminate current through a semiconductor p-n junction, typically with a double heterojunction and a quantum well structure. In 1962, General Electric (GE) commercialized red LEDs for the first time using GaAsP. The initial red LED had a luminous flux of 0.11 m/W, which is about 1/150 of that of ordinary light, and its luminous efficiency is about every 10 years. Increase by an order of magnitude. Recently, with the practical application of blue and green LEDs, white LEDs with high power have also appeared on the market. LEDs have gradually shifted from decorative applications to applications, and are moving toward the goal of replacing traditional light bulbs. In addition to environmentally friendly, power-saving features, LEDs can be controlled to flicker at very high frequencies, with switching frequencies up to over MHz. In the prior art, there have been many methods of controlling the brightness of an LED light source using PWM.
本發明的目的之一,在於提出一種用以產生LED驅動信號的LED控制電路及方法,可供驅動抗蟲LED燈。One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an LED control circuit and method for generating an LED driving signal for driving an insect resistant LED lamp.
根據本發明,一種LED控制電路包括脈衝邊緣產生器根據頻率控制訊號產生時脈,以及責任週期比控制器根據亮度控制訊號及該時脈產生LED驅動訊號,其頻率由該時脈之頻率決定,其責任週期由該亮度控制訊號決定。According to the present invention, an LED control circuit includes a pulse edge generator generating a clock according to a frequency control signal, and a duty cycle ratio controller generating an LED driving signal according to the brightness control signal and the clock, the frequency of which is determined by the frequency of the clock. The duty cycle is determined by the brightness control signal.
根據本發明,一種產生LED驅動訊號的方法包括根據頻率控制訊號產生時脈,以及根據亮度控制訊號及該時脈產生LED驅動訊號,其頻率由該時脈之頻率決定,其責任週期由該亮度控制訊號決定。According to the present invention, a method for generating an LED driving signal includes generating a clock according to a frequency control signal, and generating an LED driving signal according to the brightness control signal and the clock, the frequency of which is determined by the frequency of the clock, and the duty cycle is determined by the brightness Control signal decision.
參照圖1,在責任週期固定下,人眼可分辨的閃光頻率在fL 以下,fL 因人而異,一般約在60Hz附近。當光源的閃光頻率超出人眼感知範圍,即高於fL 後,人眼會自動對閃光的亮度取平均而視為一個穩定的光源,並且此光源亮度與責任週期成正比而與閃光頻率無關。但昆蟲可以分辨的閃光頻率上限fH 高於人類,因此根據前述的原因,本發明的LED控制電路及方法可以被使用在抗蟲LED燈。本發明的LED控制電路及方法,在頻率擺動期間,保持閃光頻率擺動的範圍超過人眼的感知範圍,以及保持固定亮度脈寬調變(Pulse Width Modulation;PWM)責任週期使得平均亮度幾乎相同,這樣的照明情況對人眼來說等同固定亮度的光源,因此可以在不影響人類的情況下達到驅逐、混淆或誘捕昆蟲的效果。較佳者,亮度PWM責任週期可以設定或規劃,但保持固定直到下次調整。Referring to FIG. 1, at a fixed duty cycle, the human eye can distinguish the flash frequency f L or less, f L vary, generally in the vicinity of about 60Hz. When the flash frequency of the light source exceeds the human eye's perception range, that is, above f L , the human eye automatically averages the brightness of the flash as a stable light source, and the brightness of the light source is proportional to the duty cycle and is independent of the flash frequency. . However, the upper limit f H of the flash frequency that the insect can distinguish is higher than that of the human, and therefore the LED control circuit and method of the present invention can be used for the insect-resistant LED lamp for the foregoing reasons. The LED control circuit and method of the present invention maintains the range of the flash frequency swing beyond the sensing range of the human eye during the frequency swing, and maintains the fixed brightness pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle so that the average brightness is almost the same, Such illumination is equivalent to a fixed-light source for the human eye, so that the effect of eviction, confusion or trapping of insects can be achieved without affecting humans. Preferably, the brightness PWM duty cycle can be set or planned, but remains fixed until the next adjustment.
圖2係本發明的實施例,其中LED控制電路38具有兩控制訊號輸入端40及42分別接受微控制器36提供的頻率控制訊號VF及亮度控制訊號VD,並據以產生LED驅動訊號ILED 。頻率控制訊號VF用以控制LED驅動訊號ILED 之頻率fPWM ,而亮度控制訊號VD用以控制LED驅動訊號ILED 之責任週期D。在LED控制電路38中,脈衝邊緣產生器44連接控制訊號輸入端40以接收頻率控制訊號VF並據以產生時脈CLK,其頻率fCLK 由頻率控制號VF決定,責任週期比控制器46連接控制訊號輸入端42及脈衝邊緣產生器44,根據時脈CLK及亮度控制訊號VD產生LED驅動訊號ILED 。LED驅動訊號ILED 的頻率fPWM 係由時脈CLK的頻率fCLK 決定,因此LED驅動訊號ILED 的頻率fPWM 將由頻率控制信號VF決定,而LED驅動訊號ILED 的責任週期D由亮度控制訊號VD決定。LED驅動訊號ILED 的工作時間(on-time)及非工作時間(off-time)分別為t1及t2,因此可得到LED驅動訊號ILED 的頻率fPWM 及責任週期D為2 is an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the LED control circuit 38 has two control signal inputs 40 and 42 respectively receiving the frequency control signal VF and the brightness control signal VD provided by the microcontroller 36, and accordingly generating an LED driving signal I LED. . The frequency control signal VF is used to control the frequency f PWM of the LED driving signal I LED , and the brightness control signal VD is used to control the duty cycle D of the LED driving signal I LED . In the LED control circuit 38, an edge pulse generator 44 is connected to a control signal input terminal 40 and the reception frequency control signal VF is generated according to the CLK clock, the frequency f CLK by the frequency number VF decision control, duty ratio controller 46 is connected The control signal input terminal 42 and the pulse edge generator 44 generate the LED driving signal I LED according to the clock CLK and the brightness control signal VD. LED drive signal I LED frequency f PWM is determined by the frequency f CLK of the clock CLK, so the frequency f PWM of the LED drive signal I LED will be determined by the frequency control signal VF, and the duty cycle D of the LED drive signal I LED is controlled by the brightness Signal VD decided. I LED LED drive signal operating time (on-time) and the non-working time (off-time) are t1 and t2, thus obtained signal I LED LED driving frequency f PWM and the duty cycle D is
fPWM =1/(t1+t2)=f(VF), f PWM = 1 / (t1 + t2) = f (VF),
以及as well as
D=t1/(t1+t2)=f(VD)。D = t1/(t1 + t2) = f (VD).
因此,頻率控制訊號VF只控制LED驅動訊號ILED 的頻率fPWM ,而亮度控制訊號VD只控制LED驅動訊號ILED 的責任週期D。Therefore, the frequency control signal VF only controls the frequency f PWM of the LED driving signal I LED , and the brightness control signal VD only controls the duty cycle D of the LED driving signal I LED .
LED驅動訊號ILED 可用來驅動LED燈。由於LED驅動訊號ILED 的頻率fPWM 及責任週期D分別只受控於頻率控制訊號VF及亮度控制信號VD,因此頻率控制訊號VF及亮度控制信號VD將分別決定被驅動的LED燈的閃爍頻率及亮度,此控制架構是為了方便使用者在調整LED燈的亮度時,不會改變LED燈的閃爍特徵,或是在調整LED燈的閃爍頻率時,不會改變LED燈的亮度。例如,在一特定模式下,設定VD固定而VF隨時間變化,LED燈將產生如圖1所示的閃光特性。LED驅動電流ILED 的責任週期D可以藉由亮度控制訊號VD來設定或規劃,但保持固定直到其被調整,換句話說,LED燈的亮度除非VD改變,否則將維持固定。藉由頻率控制訊號VF可以使LED燈發出在某頻率擺動態樣的閃光,例如頻率變化在fL 及fH 之間。The LED drive signal I LED can be used to drive the LED light. Since the frequency f PWM and the duty cycle D of the LED driving signal I LED are controlled only by the frequency control signal VF and the brightness control signal VD, respectively, the frequency control signal VF and the brightness control signal VD respectively determine the blinking frequency of the driven LED lamp. And brightness, this control structure is to facilitate the user to adjust the brightness of the LED light, does not change the flashing characteristics of the LED light, or does not change the brightness of the LED light when adjusting the blinking frequency of the LED light. For example, in a particular mode, setting the VD to be fixed and the VF to change over time, the LED lamp will produce a flash characteristic as shown in FIG. The duty cycle D of the LED drive current I LED can be set or planned by the brightness control signal VD, but remains fixed until it is adjusted, in other words, the brightness of the LED lamp will remain fixed unless VD changes. The frequency control signal VF allows the LED lamp to emit a flash of a dynamic sample at a certain frequency, for example, a frequency change between f L and f H .
如圖3所示,頻率控制訊號VF可能包括PWM訊號、類比位準訊號或編碼訊號。如果頻率控制訊號VF包括PWM訊號,則脈衝邊緣產生器44包括低通濾波器(Low-Pass Filter;LPF)48以濾波該PWM訊號而產生類比位準訊號V1,壓控振盪器(Voltage Controlled Oscillator;VCO)50根據類比位準訊號V1產生振盪訊號OSC,以及邊緣偵測器52偵測振盪訊號OSC的脈衝邊緣以產生時脈CLK。如果頻率控制訊號VF包括類比位準訊號,可以直接被送入VCO 50,邊緣偵測器52因而產生時脈CLK。如果頻率控制訊號包括編碼訊號,則脈衝邊緣產生器44包括數位類比轉換器(Digital-to-Analog Converter;DAC)58以轉換該編碼訊號產生類比位準訊號V1,供VCO 50及邊緣偵測器52產生時脈CLK。在邊緣偵測器52中,短暫延遲裝置54短暫延遲振盪訊號OSC產生延遲的振盪訊號OSCD,以及數位邏輯閘56根據振盪訊號OSC及其延遲後的訊號OSCD產生時脈CLK。As shown in FIG. 3, the frequency control signal VF may include a PWM signal, an analog level signal, or an encoded signal. If the frequency control signal VF includes a PWM signal, the pulse edge generator 44 includes a Low-Pass Filter (LPF) 48 to filter the PWM signal to generate an analog level signal V1, and the voltage controlled oscillator (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) The VCO 50 generates an oscillation signal OSC according to the analog level signal V1, and the edge detector 52 detects the pulse edge of the oscillation signal OSC to generate the clock CLK. If the frequency control signal VF includes an analog level signal, it can be directly sent to the VCO 50, and the edge detector 52 thus generates the clock CLK. If the frequency control signal includes an encoded signal, the pulse edge generator 44 includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 58 to convert the encoded signal to generate an analog level signal V1 for the VCO 50 and the edge detector. 52 generates the clock CLK. In the edge detector 52, the short delay device 54 temporarily delays the oscillation signal OSC to generate a delayed oscillation signal OSCD, and the digital logic gate 56 generates the clock CLK based on the oscillation signal OSC and its delayed signal OSCD.
在另一實施例中,如圖4所示,如果頻率控制訊號VF包括PWM訊號,則脈衝邊緣產生器44可以只包括邊緣偵測器52偵測該PWM訊號的脈衝邊緣以產生時脈CLK。In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, if the frequency control signal VF includes a PWM signal, the pulse edge generator 44 may only include the edge detector 52 to detect the pulse edge of the PWM signal to generate the clock CLK.
如圖5所示,亮度控制訊號VD可能包括PWM訊號、類比位準訊號或編碼訊號。如果亮度控制訊號VD包括PWM訊號,則責任週期比控制器46包括LPF 60濾波該PWM訊號產生類比位準訊號Va,LPF 62濾波LED驅動訊號ILED 產生類比位準訊號Vd,電壓控制電流源(Voltage Controlled Current Source;VCCS)64根據差值Va-Vd產生電流I,電晶體M1具有輸入端接收第一參考電壓VREF1、控制端接收時脈CLK以及輸出端預設節點電壓VC,電容C連接電晶體M1的輸出端及VCCS 64,以及PWM產生器66根據電壓VC產生LED驅動訊號ILED 。在一實施例中,PWM產生器66包括比較器68比較電壓VC及參考電壓VREF2產生LED驅動訊號ILED 。當時脈CLK使電晶體M1導通(turn on)時,電壓VC等於參考電壓VREF1,因而觸發LED驅動訊號ILED 的工作時間t1。當時脈CLK使電晶體M1不導通(turn off)時,電容C被VCCS 64的放電電流I放電,故電壓VC由參考電壓VREF1下降,在電壓VC下降至低於參考電壓VREF2時,LED驅動訊號ILED 的工作時間t1結束。放電電流I決定電壓VC的下降斜率,因而決定工作時間t1的寬度。放電電流I為差值Va-Vd的函數,而且與差值Va-Vd具有負變化率,較佳者,放電電流I與差值Va-Vd具有比例關係。在其他實施例中,PWM產生器66可能包括磁滯比較器70(其可以具有單一輸入端或多個輸入端)或反相器串72,根據電壓VC產生LED驅動訊號ILED 。如果亮度控制訊號VD包括類比位準訊號,其可以直接作為訊號Va提供給VCCS 64。如果亮度控制訊號VD包括編碼訊號,則使用DAC 74將其轉換為訊號Va。As shown in FIG. 5, the brightness control signal VD may include a PWM signal, an analog level signal, or an encoded signal. If the brightness control signal VD includes a PWM signal, the duty cycle ratio controller 46 includes the LPF 60 to filter the PWM signal to generate an analog level signal Va, and the LPF 62 filters the LED drive signal I LED to generate an analog level signal Vd, and the voltage control current source ( Voltage Controlled Current Source; VCCS) 64 generates current I according to the difference Va-Vd. The transistor M1 has an input terminal receiving the first reference voltage VREF1, a control terminal receiving clock CLK, and an output terminal preset node voltage VC, and the capacitor C is connected to the battery. The output of crystal M1 and VCCS 64, and PWM generator 66 generate LED drive signal I LED based on voltage VC. In one embodiment, the PWM generator 66 includes a comparator 68 comparing the voltage VC and the reference voltage VREF2 to generate an LED drive signal I LED . When the clock CLK so that when transistor M1 is turned on (turn on), the voltage VC equals the reference voltage VREF1, thereby triggering the LED driving signal of the operating time t1 I LED. When the pulse CLK causes the transistor M1 to turn off, the capacitor C is discharged by the discharge current I of the VCCS 64, so the voltage VC drops from the reference voltage VREF1, and the LED drive signal when the voltage VC falls below the reference voltage VREF2. The working time t1 of the I LED ends. The discharge current I determines the falling slope of the voltage VC, and thus determines the width of the operating time t1. The discharge current I is a function of the difference Va-Vd and has a negative rate of change with respect to the difference Va-Vd. Preferably, the discharge current I has a proportional relationship with the difference Va-Vd. In other embodiments, the PWM generator 66 may include a hysteresis comparator 70 (which may have a single input or multiple inputs) or an inverter string 72 that generates an LED drive signal I LED based on the voltage VC. If the brightness control signal VD includes an analog level signal, it can be provided directly to the VCCS 64 as the signal Va. If the brightness control signal VD includes an encoded signal, it is converted to a signal Va using the DAC 74.
在另一實施例中,如圖6所示,如果亮度控制訊號VD包括PWM訊號,則責任週期比控制器46包括比較器76比較該PWM訊號及LED驅動訊號ILED 產生比較訊號Sc,以及LPF 78濾波比較訊號Sc產生類比位準訊號Vx,類比位準訊號Vx控制VCCS 64提供的電流I,電流I與類比位準訊號Vx具有正變化率。In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, if the brightness control signal VD includes a PWM signal, the duty cycle ratio controller 46 includes the comparator 76 to compare the PWM signal and the LED driving signal I LED to generate a comparison signal Sc, and the LPF. The filter comparison signal Sc generates an analog level signal Vx, and the analog level signal Vx controls the current I provided by the VCCS 64. The current I and the analog level signal Vx have a positive rate of change.
如圖7所示,也可以使用另一種電路來控制電壓VC,其中電晶體M1連接在電容C及地端之間,而VCCS 64提供充電電流I。當時脈CLK使電晶體M1導通時,電容C接地以重置電壓VC,因而觸發LED驅動訊號ILED 。當時脈CLK使電晶體M1不導通時,電容C被VCCS 64充電,故電壓VC上升,當電壓VC上升超過參考電壓VREF2時,LED驅動訊號ILED 的工作時間t1結束。充電電流I決定LED驅動訊號ILED 的責任週期D。As shown in FIG. 7, another circuit can be used to control the voltage VC, in which the transistor M1 is connected between the capacitor C and the ground, and the VCCS 64 provides the charging current I. When the pulse CLK turns on the transistor M1, the capacitor C is grounded to reset the voltage VC, thereby triggering the LED driving signal I LED . When the pulse CLK causes the transistor M1 to be non-conducting, the capacitor C is charged by the VCCS 64, so the voltage VC rises. When the voltage VC rises above the reference voltage VREF2, the operating time t1 of the LED driving signal I LED ends. The charging current I determines the duty cycle D of the LED driving signal I LED .
還有許多等效電路可以替代上述實施例中的電路,例如脈衝邊緣偵測器可以用高通濾波器實現,而且可以與其他電路合併,磁滯比較器也可以用史密斯觸發電路(Smith-trigger circuit)實現。此外,前述實施例與其他實施例可以由分離元件、積體電路、分離元件與積體電路之組合或單晶片積體電路構成。There are many equivalent circuits that can replace the circuits in the above embodiments. For example, the pulse edge detector can be implemented with a high-pass filter and can be combined with other circuits. The hysteresis comparator can also use a Smith-trigger circuit. )achieve. Further, the foregoing embodiments and other embodiments may be constituted by a separate element, an integrated circuit, a combination of a separate element and an integrated circuit, or a single-wafer integrated circuit.
