In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of the details. The following description of the embodiments is merely provided to provide a better understanding of the invention. The present invention is in no way limited to any specific configurations and algorithms presented below, but without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In the drawings and the following description, well-known structures and techniques are not shown in order to avoid unnecessary obscuring the invention.

為了使LED的亮度恒定,通常向LED提供基本恒定的電流。第1圖是傳統的用於向一個或多個發光二極體提供輸出電流的系統(BUCK電路)的電路圖。 In order to keep the brightness of the LED constant, a substantially constant current is typically supplied to the LED. Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of a conventional system (BUCK circuit) for providing an output current to one or more light emitting diodes.

如第1圖所示,用於向一個或多個發光二極體提供輸出電流的系統100包括交流整流元件102、控制器元件104、以及電流輸出元件106。具體地,當一個或多個LED連接在交流整流元件102的兩個連接端之間時:交流整流元件102接收交流輸入電壓VAC,並將交流輸入電壓VAC變換為直流電壓VBULK,以向一個或多個LED提供電流。控制器元件104通過GATE端子向電流輸出元件106中的系統功率開關1062輸出控制信號,以控制系統功率開關1062的導通與截止,從而調節流過一個或多個LED的電流(或稱為輸出電流)。當系統功率開關1062導通時,流過電流輸出元件106中的電感器1064的電流被電流輸出元件106中的感測電阻器1066感測到,從而使得電流感測信號被控制器元件104通過CS端子接收到。作為回應,控制器元件104根據電流感測信號生成控制信號,以控制系統功率開關1062的導通與截止。當系統功率開關1062截止時,在電流輸出元件106中的電感器1064、二極體1068、以及連接在電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間的一個或多個LED之間形成了電流回路。 As shown in FIG. 1, a system 100 for providing an output current to one or more light emitting diodes includes an AC rectifying element 102, a controller element 104, and a current output element 106. Specifically, when one or more LEDs are connected between the two terminals of the AC rectifying element 102: the AC rectifying element 102 receives the AC input voltage V AC and converts the AC input voltage V AC into a DC voltage V BULK to Current is supplied to one or more LEDs. The controller component 104 outputs a control signal to the system power switch 1062 in the current output component 106 through the GATE terminal to control the turn-on and turn-off of the system power switch 1062 to regulate the current flowing through one or more LEDs (or output current) ). When system power switch 1062 is turned on, the current flowing through inductor 1064 in current output element 106 is sensed by sense resistor 1066 in current output element 106, causing the current sense signal to pass CS through controller element 104. The terminal is received. In response, controller component 104 generates a control signal based on the current sense signal to control the turn-on and turn-off of system power switch 1062. When the system power switch 1062 is turned off, a current loop is formed between the inductor 1064, the diode 1068, and one or more LEDs connected between the two output terminals of the current output element 106 in the current output element 106. .

在第1圖所示的系統中,當LED從電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間斷開時(即,兩個輸出端開路時)或者LED發生故障不能工作時,電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電壓VOUT會過高(例如,等於或者大於連接在電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電容COUT的額定電壓),從而導致電流輸出元件106中的輸出電容COUT容易被損壞。 In the system shown in Fig. 1, when the LED is disconnected from between the two output terminals of the current output element 106 (i.e., when the two outputs are open) or the LED fails to operate, two of the current output elements 106 The output voltage V OUT between the outputs is too high (eg, equal to or greater than the nominal voltage of the output capacitor C OUT connected between the two outputs of the current output element 106), resulting in the current output element 106 The output capacitor C OUT is easily damaged.

所以,需要在第1圖所示的系統中提供用於電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端開路時的過壓保護(即,保護電流輸出元件106中的輸出電容COUT不會由於LED從電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間斷開時電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電壓VOUT等於或者大於其額定電壓而被損壞)。但是,在第1圖所示的系統中,控制器元件104無法直接測量到電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電壓VOUT,因而無法準確地控制電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端開路時的輸出電壓。 Therefore, it is necessary to provide overvoltage protection for the open circuit of the two output terminals of the current output element 106 in the system shown in Fig. 1 (i.e., the output capacitor C OUT in the protection current output element 106 is not affected by the LED current. The output voltage V OUT between the two outputs of the current output element 106 when the two outputs of the output element 106 are disconnected is equal to or greater than its rated voltage and is damaged). However, in the system shown in FIG. 1, the controller component 104 cannot directly measure the output voltage V OUT between the two output terminals of the current output component 106, and thus cannot accurately control the two outputs of the current output component 106. The output voltage when the terminal is open.

為了解決第1圖所示的系統中存在的一個或多個問題,提出了下面參考第2-4圖詳細描述的根據本發明實施例的用於向一個或多個發光二極體提供輸出電流的系統。 In order to solve one or more problems present in the system shown in FIG. 1, an output current for supplying one or more light emitting diodes according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2-4, is proposed. system.

And a reference signal generation module. The overvoltage protection module is based on a voltage signal V VIN from the resistor divider component 204, a demagnetization signal from the demagnetization detection module, a modulation signal from a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation module, and a reference signal. The reference signal of the generating module generates an overvoltage protection signal, and the demagnetization detecting module generates a demagnetization signal based on a current or voltage signal related to the demagnetization condition of the inductor L1 in the current output component 208, and the current sensing module is based on the current output component. The current sensing signal obtained by the sensing resistor RS in 208 generates a sensing current related signal, and the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generating module generates a modulation based on the overvoltage protection signal, the demagnetization signal, and the sensing current related signal. The signal, the gate drive module generates a drive signal based on the modulation signal for driving the turn-on and turn-off of the system power switch 1062 MOSFET in the current output component 208.

具體地,在本實施例中,脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組生成調變信號的基本原理如下:當一個或多個LED連接在電流輸出元件 106的兩個輸出端之間並且正常工作時,脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組基於退磁信號、和感測電流相關信號生成調變信號,用以控制電流輸出元件208中的系統功率開關1062MOSFET的截止與導通,從而調節流過一個或多個LED的電流(例如,當退磁信號指示退磁結束時,脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組將調製信號由低電平變為高電平;當感測電流相關信號指示感測電流達到設定值時,脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組將調變信號由高電平變為低電平;退磁信號和感測電流相關信號交替控制脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組生成調製信號);當LED從電流輸出元件106的兩個輸出端之間斷開時或者LED發生故障時,脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組基於過壓保護模組生成的過壓保護信號生成調變信號,用以控制電流輸出元件208中的系統功率開關1062MOSFET處於截止狀態,使得電流輸出元件208的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電壓VOUT不會高於輸出電容Cout的額定電壓(即,保護輸出電容Cout不被損壞)。在本實施例中,脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組生成的調製信號實際上是用於系統功率開關1062MOSFET的控制信號。 Specifically, in the present embodiment, the basic principle of the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generating module to generate the modulated signal is as follows: when one or more LEDs are connected between the two outputs of the current output element 106 and are normal In operation, the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation module generates a modulation signal based on the demagnetization signal and the sense current related signal for controlling the cutoff and conduction of the system power switch 1062 MOSFET in the current output component 208, thereby regulating the flow. Current through one or more LEDs (eg, when the demagnetization signal indicates the end of demagnetization, the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation module changes the modulation signal from low to high; when the sense current related signal indicates When the sense current reaches the set value, the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation module changes the modulation signal from a high level to a low level; the demagnetization signal and the sense current related signal alternately control the pulse width modulation (PWM) The signal generation module generates a modulation signal); when the LED is disconnected from the two output terminals of the current output element 106 or the LED fails, the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation module is generated based on the overvoltage protection module Overvoltage protection Signal generating modulated signal, system power switch for controlling the current output of 1062MOSFET element 208 in an off state, so that the current output element is the output voltage V OUT between the two output terminals 208 is not higher than the rated voltage of the output capacitor Cout (ie, the protection output capacitor Cout is not damaged). In this embodiment, the modulated signal generated by the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation module is actually a control signal for the system power switch 1062 MOSFET.

第3圖是第2圖所示的系統電路中的工作波形圖。在第3圖中,脈寬調變(PWM)波形為脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組的輸出波形(即,調製信號的波形),GATE波形為閘極驅動模組的輸出波形(即,驅動信號的波形),IL波形為流過電感器L1的電流波形,Demag波形為退磁檢測模組的輸出波形(即,退磁信號的波形)。TON為系統功率開關1062MOSFET處於導通狀態的持續時間(即,系統功率開關1062MOSFET的導通時間),TOFF為系統功率開關1062MOSFET處於截止狀態的持續時間(即,系統功率開關1062MOSFET的截止時間),TDemag為電感器L1的退磁時間,且TDemag小於TOFFFig. 3 is a diagram showing the operation waveforms in the system circuit shown in Fig. 2. In Fig. 3, the pulse width modulation (PWM) waveform is the output waveform of the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation module (ie, the waveform of the modulation signal), and the GATE waveform is the output waveform of the gate drive module ( That is, the waveform of the drive signal), the I L waveform is the current waveform flowing through the inductor L1, and the Demag waveform is the output waveform of the demagnetization detection module (that is, the waveform of the demagnetization signal). T ON is the duration in which the system power switch 1062 MOSFET is in an on state (ie, the on time of the system power switch 1062 MOSFET), and T OFF is the duration in which the system power switch 1062 is in an off state (ie, the off time of the system power switch 1062 MOSFET), T Demag is the demagnetization time of inductor L1, and T Demag is less than T OFF .

在第2圖所示的系統中,當開關控制元件206的第二控制元件端子GATE的輸出電壓為高電平(即,第3圖中的GATE波形為邏輯高)時,電流輸出元件208中的系統功率開關1062MOSFET導通,流過電流輸出元件208中的電感器L1的電流線性上升(流過電感器L1的電流值可 根據公式(1)得出,其中t是電流流過電感器L1的時間)。在電流輸出元件208中,流過電感器L1的電流通過系統功率開關1062MOSFET流經感測電阻器RS到地,在感測電阻器RS上產生的電壓值(即,在開關控制元件206的第三控制元件端子CS處感測到的電壓值VCS)可根據公式(2)得出。當VCS達到設定值或t達到設定值TON時,開關控制元件206的第二控制元件端子GATE的輸出電壓變為低電平(即,第3圖中的GATE波形變為邏輯低),電流輸出元件208中的系統功率開關1062MOSFET)截止。此時,電流輸出元件208中的電感器L1通過二極體D1和一個或多個LED進行退磁,經過TDemag時間後退磁結束,流過電感器L1的電流變為零。開關控制元件206可以通過檢測流過電流輸出元件208中的電感器L1的電流來確定電感器L1的退磁起始點與結束點,從而得到退磁時間Tdemag(可以根據公式(3)得出退磁時間,其中IPK是流過電感器L1的電流IL的最大值,VOUT_PK是電流輸出元件208的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電壓VOUT的最大值)。另外,由於第2圖所示的電路系統本質上是對BUCK電路的改進,所以電流輸出元件208的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電壓VOUT與由交流整流元件202輸出的直流電壓VBULK之間的關係如公式(4)所示。 In the system shown in FIG. 2, when the output voltage of the second control element terminal GATE of the switch control element 206 is at a high level (ie, the GATE waveform in FIG. 3 is logic high), the current output element 208 is The system power switch 1062 MOSFET is turned on, and the current flowing through the inductor L1 in the current output element 208 rises linearly (the current value flowing through the inductor L1 can be obtained according to the formula (1), where t is the current flowing through the inductor L1. time). In the current output element 208, the current flowing through the inductor L1 flows through the sense resistor RS to ground through the system power switch 1062 MOSFET, and the voltage value generated on the sense resistor RS (ie, at the switch control element 206) The voltage value V CS ) sensed at the three control element terminals CS can be derived from equation (2). When V CS reaches the set value or t reaches the set value T ON , the output voltage of the second control element terminal GATE of the switch control element 206 becomes a low level (ie, the GATE waveform in FIG. 3 becomes a logic low), System power switch 1062 MOSFET) in current output element 208 is turned off. At this time, the inductor L1 in the current output element 208 is demagnetized by the diode D1 and one or more LEDs, and after the T Demag time, the demagnetization ends, and the current flowing through the inductor L1 becomes zero. The switch control element 206 can determine the demagnetization start and end points of the inductor L1 by detecting the current flowing through the inductor L1 in the current output element 208, thereby obtaining a demagnetization time T demag (demagnetization can be obtained according to formula (3) Time, where I PK is the maximum value of the current I L flowing through the inductor L1, and V OUT_PK is the maximum value of the output voltage V OUT between the two outputs of the current output element 208). In addition, since the circuit system shown in FIG. 2 is essentially an improvement to the BUCK circuit, the output voltage V OUT between the two output terminals of the current output element 208 and the DC voltage V BULK output by the AC rectifying element 202 are The relationship between the two is shown in equation (4).

也就是說,基於由交流整流元件202輸出的直流電壓VBULK、系統功率開關1062MOSFET的導通時間TON、和電感器L1的退磁時間TDenag,可以利用公式(4)計算出輸出電壓VOUTThat is, based on the DC voltage V BULK output from the AC rectifying element 202, the on-time T ON of the system power switch 1062 MOSFET, and the demagnetization time T Denag of the inductor L1, the output voltage V OUT can be calculated using Equation (4).

第4圖是第2圖所示的系統電路中的過壓保護(OVP) 模組的電路圖。如第4圖所示,過壓保護模組包括第一跨導放大器GM1、第二跨導放大器GM2、開關K1、重置單元、電容器C、以及比較器COMP1。其中,第一跨導放大器GM1連接在開關控制元件206的第一控制元件端子VIN與開關K1的第一開關端子之間,第二跨導放大器GM2連接在開關K1的第二開關端子與過壓保護模組外部的參考信號生成模組之間,重置單元連接在開關K1的第二開關端子與過壓保護模組外部的退磁檢測模組之間,電容器C連接在開關K1的第二開關端子與地之間,比較器COMP1連接在開關K1的第二開關端子與過壓保護模組外部的脈寬調變(PWM)信號生成模組之間。 Figure 4 is the overvoltage protection (OVP) in the system circuit shown in Figure 2. The circuit diagram of the module. As shown in FIG. 4, the overvoltage protection module includes a first transconductance amplifier GM1, a second transconductance amplifier GM2, a switch K1, a reset unit, a capacitor C, and a comparator COMP1. Wherein, the first transconductance amplifier GM1 is connected between the first control element terminal VIN of the switch control element 206 and the first switch terminal of the switch K1, and the second transconductance amplifier GM2 is connected to the second switch terminal of the switch K1 and the overvoltage Between the reference signal generating modules outside the protection module, the reset unit is connected between the second switch terminal of the switch K1 and the demagnetization detecting module outside the overvoltage protection module, and the capacitor C is connected to the second switch of the switch K1. Between the terminal and the ground, the comparator COMP1 is connected between the second switch terminal of the switch K1 and a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generating module external to the overvoltage protection module.

如第4圖所示,交流整流元件202對交流輸入電壓VAC進行整流得到的直流電壓VBULK被電阻分壓元件204中的電阻器R1和R2分壓,從而生成了開關控制元件206的第一控制元件端子VIN處的電壓信號;在脈寬調變(PWM)生成模組輸出的調製信號(即,第3圖中的脈寬調變(PWM波形)為高電平(即,系統功率開關1062MOSFET導通))時開關K1導通,開關控制元件206的第一控制元件端子VIN處的電壓信號通過第一跨導放大器GM1生成I_source電流給電容器C充電,同時來自參考信號生成模組的OVP閾值電壓Vth_ovp通過第二跨導放大器GM2生成I_sink電流給電容器C放電;如果I_source>I_sink,則電容器C上的電壓Vramp上升;在脈寬調變(PWM)生成模組輸出的控制信號(即,第3圖中的脈寬調變(PWM)波形)為低電平(即,系統功率開關1062MOSFET截止且電感器L1退磁)時開關K1截止,此時只有來自參考信號生成模組的參考信號Vth_ovp通過第二跨導放大器GM2生成I_sink電流給電容器C放電,電容器C上的電壓Vramp下降。 As shown in FIG. 4, the DC voltage V BULK obtained by rectifying the AC input voltage V AC by the AC rectifying element 202 is divided by the resistors R1 and R2 in the resistor divider element 204, thereby generating the switch control element 206. a voltage signal at the control element terminal VIN; a modulation signal output by the pulse width modulation (PWM) generation module (ie, the pulse width modulation (PWM waveform) in FIG. 3 is high level (ie, system power) When the switch 1062 is turned on, the switch K1 is turned on, and the voltage signal at the first control element terminal VIN of the switch control element 206 generates an I_source current to charge the capacitor C through the first transconductance amplifier GM1, and the OVP threshold from the reference signal generation module. The voltage Vth_ovp generates an I_sink current to discharge the capacitor C through the second transconductance amplifier GM2; if I_source>I_sink, the voltage Vramp on the capacitor C rises; in the pulse width modulation (PWM) generation module outputs a control signal (ie, 3) The pulse width modulation (PWM) waveform is low (ie, the system power switch 1062 MOSFET is turned off and the inductor L1 is demagnetized). The switch K1 is turned off. At this time, only the reference signal from the reference signal generation module is used. Vth_ovp generates an I_sink current through the second transconductance amplifier GM2 to discharge the capacitor C, and the voltage Vramp on the capacitor C drops.

在電感器L1每次退磁結束後,通過比較器COMP1比較Vramp電壓和OVP閾值電壓Vth_ovp來判斷是否需要觸發過壓保護(OVP)(例如,如果Vramp高於Vth_ovp,則觸發OVP)。每次比較結束後,通過重置單元將電容器C上的電壓Vramp強行重定到Vth_ovp。 After each demagnetization of the inductor L1 is completed, the comparator COMP1 compares the Vramp voltage with the OVP threshold voltage Vth_ovp to determine whether overvoltage protection (OVP) needs to be triggered (eg, if Vramp is higher than Vth_ovp, OVP is triggered). After each comparison, the voltage Vramp on the capacitor C is forcibly reset to Vth_ovp by the reset unit.

這裡,開關控制元件206的第一控制元件端子VIN處的 電壓信號可以根據公式(5)得出。 Here, at the first control element terminal VIN of the switch control element 206 The voltage signal can be derived from equation (5).

當電流輸出元件208的兩個輸出端之間的輸出電壓VOUT處於臨界OVP電壓(VOUT_OVP)時,在對電感器L1進行充電和放電的每個週期中TON時間內對電容器C的充電電壓和在退磁時間內對電容器C的放電電壓相等(如公式(6)所示): 結合公式(4)至(6),可以得出公式(7): When the output voltage V OUT between the two output terminals of the current output element 208 is at the critical OVP voltage (V OUT — OVDC ), the capacitor C is charged during the ON time in each cycle of charging and discharging the inductor L1. The voltage is equal to the discharge voltage of capacitor C during the demagnetization time (as shown in equation (6)): Combining equations (4) through (6), equation (7) can be derived:

從以上所述可知,通過在對電感器L1進行充電和放電的每個週期中電感器L1退磁結束時比較Vramp和Vth_ovp,並且在Vramp高於Vth_ovp時觸發OVP(即,立即關閉開關控制元件206的第二控制元件端子GATE的輸出),可以實現高精度的過壓保護。這裡,臨界OVP電壓VOUT_OVP可以是電流輸出元件206中的輸出電容Cout的額定電壓,可以根據臨界OVP電壓VOUT_OVP和出OVP閾值電壓Vth_ovp預先計算出所需要的R1和R2比例。 As can be seen from the above, Vramp and Vth_ovp are compared by the end of the demagnetization of the inductor L1 in each cycle of charging and discharging the inductor L1, and the OVP is triggered when Vramp is higher than Vth_ovp (ie, the switch control element 206 is immediately turned off). The output of the second control element terminal GATE can realize high-precision overvoltage protection. Here, the critical OVP voltage V OUT — OVP may be the rated voltage of the output capacitor Cout in the current output element 206, and the required R1 and R2 ratios may be pre-calculated according to the critical OVP voltage V OUT — OVP and the OVP threshold voltage V th — ovp .

可以看出,這裡公開了這樣一種輸出電壓控制方法包括:利用表徵一個或多個LED是否處於工作狀態的控制信號生成輸出電壓檢測信號(即,Vramp);將輸出電壓檢測信號指示的電壓與參考信號指示的電壓(即,Vth_ovp)進行比較,並根據比較結果判斷輸出電壓是否高於預定電壓值;在輸出電壓高於預定電壓值的情況下,利用控制信號(即,上述調製信號)關閉系統功率開關1062(即,上述MOSFET)。 It can be seen that there is disclosed an output voltage control method comprising: generating an output voltage detection signal (ie, Vramp) using a control signal characterizing whether one or more LEDs are in an active state; and outputting a voltage and reference indicated by the output voltage detection signal The voltage indicated by the signal (ie, Vth_ovp) is compared, and it is judged according to the comparison result whether the output voltage is higher than a predetermined voltage value; and when the output voltage is higher than the predetermined voltage value, the system is turned off by using the control signal (ie, the above-mentioned modulation signal) Power switch 1062 (ie, the MOSFET described above).
