近年來,發光二極體(Light Emitting Diode,LED)由於相對於傳統白熾燈、鹵素燈、或螢光燈等照明產品具有壽命長、成本低、和體積小等特點,被廣泛應用在社會生產生活的各個方面。LED自身的亮度主要受流過LED的電流控制,可以通過調節流過LED的電流來調節LED的亮度。 In recent years, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have been widely used in social production due to their long life, low cost, and small size compared to traditional incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, or fluorescent lamps and other lighting products. All aspects of life. The brightness of the LED itself is mainly controlled by the current flowing through the LED. The brightness of the LED can be adjusted by adjusting the current flowing through the LED.

在用於LED照明的開關電源系統中,通過以脈寬調變(Pulse Width Modulation,PWM)斬波模式控制流過LED的電流來調節LED的亮度容易產生頻閃。為了防止頻閃發生,一般通過以連續變化的類比方式調節流過LED的電流來調節LED的亮度。然而,在實現LED低亮度照明的情況下,以類比方式對LED的亮度進行深度調節時,存在被檢測信號微弱不容易被檢測到的情況,並且用於LED照明的開關電源系統中的控制晶片的內部電路的輸入失調電壓會導致對LED的亮度存在調節深度不足的問題。 In a switching power supply system for LED lighting, flickering is easily caused by controlling the current flowing through the LED in pulse width modulation (PWM) chopper mode to adjust the brightness of the LED. In order to prevent stroboscopic occurrence, the brightness of the LED is generally adjusted by adjusting the current flowing through the LED in a continuously changing analogy. However, in the case of realizing LED low-brightness lighting, when the brightness of the LED is deeply adjusted by analogy, there are situations where the detected signal is weak and difficult to detect, and the control chip in the switching power supply system for LED lighting The input offset voltage of the internal circuit will cause the problem of insufficient adjustment depth of the LED brightness.

鑒於上述問題,提出了根據本發明實施例的開關電源系統及其控制晶片和控制方法,可以通過類比方式實現對LED的亮度的深度調節。 In view of the above problems, a switching power supply system and its control chip and control method according to embodiments of the present invention are proposed, which can realize deep adjustment of the brightness of LEDs through analogy.

Here, it should be noted that when the compensation control signal CMP is not less than the reference voltage V2, the clamping element control signal is the compensation control signal CMP itself.

如圖2所示,在一些實施例中,延遲信號產生單元214包括電壓-電流轉換電路2142、補償信號處理電路2144、開關K201、比較器2146、以及電容C202,其中:電壓-電流轉換電路2142基於調光參考電壓Vdim,生成調光參考電流Idim;電容C202和開關K201二者基於退磁檢測信號Dem和調光參考電流Idim,生成斜坡控制信號Ramp;補償信號處理電路2144基於補償控制信號CMP和參考電壓V1,生成延遲控制信號Vd;比較器2146基於斜坡控制信號Ramp和延遲控制信號Vd,生成時間延遲信號Delay。例如,電壓-電流轉換電路2142通過將調光參考電壓Vdim進行電壓-電流轉換,生成調光參考電流Idim;電容C202與開關K201耦接,開關K201的接通與關斷受退磁檢測信號Dem的反相信號的控制(即,開關K201基於退磁檢測信號Dem控制調光參考電流Idim對電容C202的充電);當退磁檢測信號Dem為邏輯低電平時,開關K201接通,調光參考電流Idim不對電容C202充電,電容C202上的電壓,即斜坡控制信號Ramp的電壓為0V;當退磁檢測信號Dem為邏輯高電平時,開關K201關斷,調光參考電流Idim對電容C202充電,電容C202上的電壓,即斜坡控制信號Ramp的電壓大於0V;補償信號處理電路2144通過對補償控制信號CMP的電壓和參考電壓V1進行運算,生成延遲控制信號Vd; 比較器2146通過對斜坡控制信號Ramp和延遲控制信號Vd進行比較,生成時間延遲信號Delay。 As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments, the delay signal generation unit 214 includes a voltage-current conversion circuit 2142, a compensation signal processing circuit 2144, a switch K201, a comparator 2146, and a capacitor C202, wherein: the voltage-current conversion circuit 2142 Based on the dimming reference voltage Vdim, the dimming reference current Idim is generated; the capacitor C202 and the switch K201 generate the slope control signal Ramp based on the demagnetization detection signal Dem and the dimming reference current Idim; the compensation signal processing circuit 2144 is based on the compensation control signal CMP and The reference voltage V1 generates a delay control signal Vd; the comparator 2146 generates a time delay signal Delay based on the ramp control signal Ramp and the delay control signal Vd. For example, the voltage-to-current conversion circuit 2142 generates the dimming reference current Idim by performing voltage-to-current conversion on the dimming reference voltage Vdim; the capacitor C202 is coupled to the switch K201, and the turning on and off of the switch K201 is affected by the demagnetization detection signal Dem. Control of the inverted signal (that is, the switch K201 controls the charging of the capacitor C202 by the dimming reference current Idim based on the demagnetization detection signal Dem); when the demagnetization detection signal Dem is a logic low level, the switch K201 is turned on, and the dimming reference current Idim is incorrect. Capacitor C202 is charged, and the voltage on capacitor C202, that is, the voltage of slope control signal Ramp is 0V; when the demagnetization detection signal Dem is a logic high level, switch K201 is turned off, and the dimming reference current Idim charges capacitor C202, and the voltage on capacitor C202 voltage, that is, the voltage of the ramp control signal Ramp is greater than 0V; the compensation signal processing circuit 2144 generates the delay control signal Vd by operating on the voltage of the compensation control signal CMP and the reference voltage V1; The comparator 2146 generates the time delay signal Delay by comparing the ramp control signal Ramp and the delay control signal Vd.

在圖2所示的恒流控制模組1026中,調光參考電壓Vdim的高低與系統輸出電流Iout的大小對應,即,當調光參考電壓Vdim高時,系統輸出電流Iout大;當調光參考電壓Vdim低時,系統輸出電流Iout小。補償控制信號CMP是誤差放大器206的輸出信號,補償控制信號CMP的電壓變化與調光參考電壓Vdim的變化方向相同。當調光參考電壓Vdim變高時,補償控制信號CMP的電壓變高,當調光參考電壓Vdim變低時,補償控制信號CMP的電壓變低。 In the constant current control module 1026 shown in Figure 2, the level of the dimming reference voltage Vdim corresponds to the size of the system output current Iout, that is, when the dimming reference voltage Vdim is high, the system output current Iout is large; when the dimming reference voltage Vdim is high, the system output current Iout is large; When the reference voltage Vdim is low, the system output current Iout is small. The compensation control signal CMP is the output signal of the error amplifier 206, and the voltage change of the compensation control signal CMP is in the same direction as the change direction of the dimming reference voltage Vdim. When the dimming reference voltage Vdim becomes high, the voltage of the compensation control signal CMP becomes high. When the dimming reference voltage Vdim becomes low, the voltage of the compensation control signal CMP becomes low.

圖2所示的恒流控制模組1026的工作過程隨著調光參考電壓Vdim(或補償控制信號CMP)的變化被分為三個階段:當系統輸出電流Iout較大時,補償控制信號CMP的電壓大於參考電壓V1,開關電源系統100工作在准諧振(Quasi-Resonant,QR)模式,調光控制信號DIM通過控制流過電感L1的峰值電流來調節系統輸出電流Iout。在圖1所示的開關電源系統100中,電流檢測信號CS被用於表徵流過電感L1的電感電流IL,電流檢測信號CS的峰值電壓與流過電感L1的峰值電流對應,而電流檢測信號CS的峰值電壓受補償控制信號CMP的控制。時間延遲信號Delay由電容C202上的電壓,即斜坡控制信號Ramp和延遲控制信號Vd比較產生,因為補償控制信號CMP的電壓大於參考電壓V1,由補償信號處理電路2144產生的延遲控制信號Vd為0V,所以時間延遲信號Delay的延遲時間也為0,這就使開關電源系統100工作在QR模式。 The working process of the constant current control module 1026 shown in Figure 2 is divided into three stages as the dimming reference voltage Vdim (or compensation control signal CMP) changes: When the system output current Iout is large, the compensation control signal CMP The voltage is greater than the reference voltage V1, the switching power supply system 100 operates in a quasi-resonant (QR) mode, and the dimming control signal DIM adjusts the system output current Iout by controlling the peak current flowing through the inductor L1. In the switching power supply system 100 shown in FIG. 1, the current detection signal CS is used to represent the inductor current IL flowing through the inductor L1. The peak voltage of the current detection signal CS corresponds to the peak current flowing through the inductor L1, and the current detection signal CS The peak voltage of CS is controlled by the compensation control signal CMP. The time delay signal Delay is generated by comparing the voltage on the capacitor C202, that is, the ramp control signal Ramp and the delay control signal Vd. Because the voltage of the compensation control signal CMP is greater than the reference voltage V1, the delay control signal Vd generated by the compensation signal processing circuit 2144 is 0V. , so the delay time of the time delay signal Delay is also 0, which makes the switching power supply system 100 work in the QR mode.

當系統輸出電流Iout較小時,補償控制信號CMP的電壓大於參考電壓V2且小於參考電壓V1,開關電源系統100工作在斷續導通模式(Discontinuous Conduction Mode,DCM),調光控制信號DIM通過控制流過電感L1的峰值電流以及時間延遲信號Delay來調節系統輸出電流Iout。在圖2所示的恒流控制模組1026中,補償信號處理電路2144的運算控制 滿足等式1:Vd=k×(V1-VCMP) <等式1> When the system output current Iout is small, the voltage of the compensation control signal CMP is greater than the reference voltage V2 and less than the reference voltage V1, the switching power supply system 100 works in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM), and the dimming control signal DIM passes through the control The peak current flowing through the inductor L1 and the time delay signal Delay adjust the system output current Iout. In the constant current control module 1026 shown in Figure 2, the operation control of the compensation signal processing circuit 2144 satisfies Equation 1: V d =k×(V 1 -V CMP ) <Equation 1>

其中,k是設計的固定係數。圖3示出了圖2所示的補償信號處理電路2144的示例電路圖,其中,電阻R301與R302的阻值為固定比值(圖3中設置R301=R302),電流鏡M303和M304的鏡像電流比為1,電流鏡M305和M306的鏡像電流比也為1,這樣延遲控制信號Vd的電壓可以通過等式2得出:

Figure 111137370-A0305-02-0011-1
Among them, k is the fixed coefficient of the design. Figure 3 shows an example circuit diagram of the compensation signal processing circuit 2144 shown in Figure 2, in which the resistance values of resistors R301 and R302 are fixed ratios (R301=R302 is set in Figure 3), and the mirror current ratios of current mirrors M303 and M304 are is 1, the mirror current ratio of current mirrors M305 and M306 is also 1, so the voltage of the delayed control signal Vd can be obtained by Equation 2:
Figure 111137370-A0305-02-0011-1

其中,R303/R301對應等式1中的k,是固定值。 Among them, R303/R301 corresponds to k in Equation 1 and is a fixed value.

也就是說,補償信號處理電路2144通過對補償控制信號CMP的電壓和參考電壓V1之間的差值進行縮放,生成延遲控制信號Vd。 That is, the compensation signal processing circuit 2144 generates the delay control signal Vd by scaling the difference between the voltage of the compensation control signal CMP and the reference voltage V1.

當系統輸出電流Iout更小時,補償控制信號CMP的電壓等於參考電壓V2,開關電源系統100工作在斷續導通模式(DCM),此時補償控制信號CMP被鉗位元單元212鉗位元在V2電平上不能調節系統輸出電流Iout,設置補償控制信號CMP的最低電壓的目的是控制在調光過程中流過電感L1的最小峰值電流,以確保控制相關的檢測信號能夠被檢測到。在這個階段,延遲控制信號Vd的電壓也被固定在k*V2,但隨著調光參考電壓Vdim變低,電壓-電流轉換電路2142基於調光參考電壓Vdim生成的調光參考電流Idim變小,如等式3所示:

Figure 111137370-A0305-02-0011-2
When the system output current Iout is smaller, the voltage of the compensation control signal CMP is equal to the reference voltage V2, and the switching power supply system 100 works in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). At this time, the compensation control signal CMP is clamped at V2 by the clamping unit 212 The system output current Iout cannot be adjusted on the level. The purpose of setting the minimum voltage of the compensation control signal CMP is to control the minimum peak current flowing through the inductor L1 during the dimming process to ensure that the control-related detection signals can be detected. At this stage, the voltage of the delay control signal Vd is also fixed at k*V2, but as the dimming reference voltage Vdim becomes lower, the dimming reference current Idim generated by the voltage-current conversion circuit 2142 based on the dimming reference voltage Vdim becomes smaller. , as shown in Equation 3:
Figure 111137370-A0305-02-0011-2

其中,Rdim是用於將調光參考電壓Vdim轉換為調光參考電流Idim的電壓-電流轉換電路2142的等效電阻值,對應於時間延遲信號Delay的延遲時間Td隨著調光參考電壓Vdim的減小而增加,從而可以實現更深程度的調光控制(即,可以更深程度地調節LED的亮度)。圖4示出了圖2所示的恒流控制模組1026中的多個信號的工作波形圖,其中Ton 表示功率開關Q1處於導通狀態的持續時間,Toff表示功率開關Q1處於關斷狀態的持續時間,Tdem表示電感L1處於退磁狀態的持續時間,Td表示功率開關Q1從關斷狀態變為導通狀態的時刻相對於電感L1結束退磁的時刻的延遲時間。 Among them, Rdim is the equivalent resistance value of the voltage-current conversion circuit 2142 used to convert the dimming reference voltage Vdim into the dimming reference current Idim. The delay time Td corresponding to the time delay signal Delay increases with the dimming reference voltage Vdim. Decrease and increase, so that a deeper degree of dimming control can be achieved (that is, the brightness of the LED can be adjusted to a deeper degree). Figure 4 shows the working waveform diagrams of multiple signals in the constant current control module 1026 shown in Figure 2, where Ton Indicates the duration when the power switch Q1 is in the on state, Toff indicates the duration when the power switch Q1 is in the off state, Tdem indicates the duration in which the inductor L1 is in the demagnetization state, and Td indicates the moment when the power switch Q1 changes from the off state to the on state. Delay time relative to the time when inductor L1 ends demagnetization.

在圖1所示的開關電源系統100中,調光控制信號DIM既可以是類比電壓信號也可以PWM脈衝信號,對於深度調光應用,調光控制信號DIM通常為PWM脈衝信號,這樣便於用於可調光LED照明的開關電源系統中的控制晶片進行精確控制。 In the switching power supply system 100 shown in Figure 1, the dimming control signal DIM can be either an analog voltage signal or a PWM pulse signal. For deep dimming applications, the dimming control signal DIM is usually a PWM pulse signal, which is convenient for use The control chip in the switching power supply system of dimmable LED lighting is precisely controlled.

圖5示出了圖2所示的調光信號處理單元202的示例電路圖。如圖5所示,調光信號處理單元202包括放大器U501、開關K501和K502、電阻R501、電容C501、以及反相器U502,其中:放大器U501的正向輸入端與參考電壓Vref連接,放大器U501的負向輸入端和輸出端連接並構成緩衝器結構,放大器U501的輸出端與開關K501連接;開關K501一端連接放大器U501的輸出端,另一端連接開關K502和電阻R501;開關K501的控制信號是調光控制信號DIM,當調光控制信號DIM為邏輯高電平時,開關K501處於導通狀態,當調光控制信號DIM為邏輯低電平時,開關K501處於關斷狀態;開關K502一端與開關K501和電阻R501連接,一端與地連接;開關K502的控制信號是反相器U502對調光控制信號DIM進行反相後的輸出信號,當調光控制信號DIM為邏輯低電平時,開關K502處於導通狀態,當調光控制信號DIM為邏輯高電平時,開關K502處於關斷狀態;開關K501和K502在調光控制信號DIM的一個脈衝週期內交替導通;電阻R501一端連接開關K501和K502,一端連接電容C501和調光參考電壓Vdim;電容C501一端連接電阻R501和調光參考電壓Vdim,一端與地連接。在調光信號處理單元202中,通過利用調光控制信號DIM和其反相邏輯信號控制開關K501和K502的導通與關斷對參考電壓Vref進行斬波,生成經斬波參考電壓Vchop;通過利用電阻R501和電容C501共同構成的低通濾波器對經斬波參考電壓Vchop進行濾波,生成調光參考電 壓Vdim。換句話說,調光信號處理單元202通過將調光控制信號DIM的占空比與參考電壓Vref相乘來生成調光參考電壓Vdim,如等式4所示:Vdim=Duty×Vref <等式4> FIG. 5 shows an example circuit diagram of the dimming signal processing unit 202 shown in FIG. 2 . As shown in Figure 5, the dimming signal processing unit 202 includes an amplifier U501, switches K501 and K502, a resistor R501, a capacitor C501, and an inverter U502. The forward input end of the amplifier U501 is connected to the reference voltage Vref, and the amplifier U501 The negative input end and output end are connected to form a buffer structure. The output end of amplifier U501 is connected to switch K501. One end of switch K501 is connected to the output end of amplifier U501, and the other end is connected to switch K502 and resistor R501. The control signal of switch K501 is Dimming control signal DIM. When the dimming control signal DIM is a logic high level, the switch K501 is in the on state. When the dimming control signal DIM is a logic low level, the switch K501 is in an off state. One end of the switch K502 is connected to the switch K501 and The resistor R501 is connected, and one end is connected to the ground; the control signal of the switch K502 is the output signal after the inverter U502 inverts the dimming control signal DIM. When the dimming control signal DIM is a logic low level, the switch K502 is in the on state. , when the dimming control signal DIM is at a logic high level, the switch K502 is in the off state; the switches K501 and K502 are alternately turned on within a pulse period of the dimming control signal DIM; one end of the resistor R501 is connected to the switches K501 and K502, and the other end is connected to the capacitor C501 and dimming reference voltage Vdim; one end of capacitor C501 is connected to resistor R501 and dimming reference voltage Vdim, and one end is connected to ground. In the dimming signal processing unit 202, the reference voltage Vref is chopped by using the dimming control signal DIM and its inverted logic signal to control the on and off of the switches K501 and K502 to generate the chopped reference voltage Vchop; by using The low-pass filter formed by resistor R501 and capacitor C501 filters the chopped reference voltage Vchop to generate the dimming reference voltage Vdim. In other words, the dimming signal processing unit 202 generates the dimming reference voltage Vdim by multiplying the duty cycle of the dimming control signal DIM and the reference voltage Vref, as shown in Equation 4: V dim =Duty×V ref < Equation 4>

圖6示出了圖2所示的數位單元216的示例電路圖。如圖6所示,數位單元216可以基於關斷控制信號PWM_off、退磁檢測信號Dem、以及時間延遲信號Delay輸出脈寬調變信號PWM,以使圖2所示的恒流控制模組1026按照圖4所示的時序邏輯進行控制。 FIG. 6 shows an example circuit diagram of digital unit 216 shown in FIG. 2 .
