  • The dimming principle of the 0-10 V dimmer, the resistance dimmer, and the PWM dimmer is detailed in detail as follows: the dimming principle circuit of the 0-10 V dimmer, the resistance dimmer, and the PWM dimmer is shown in a dotted line block diagram of FIG. 20 . U5 is a signal conversion main control IC; VIN is a power supply voltage; R16 is a charging current limiting resistor of IC; C4 is a power supply filter capacitor of Vin; C8 is a power supply filter capacitor of VCC; and R18, R15, and R19 are VIN voltage measurement circuits, with an OVP overvoltage protection function. U5 can set the frequency of DRV pin output PWM according to the capacity of C5, and can set the curve of DRV pin output PWM according to the resistance of R22. C9 is a filter capacitor of a DIM pin. U6 has a dimming isolation function. R21 and R24 constitute a voltage divider circuit, which can adjust high level and voltage values of the PWM signal. 0-10 V dimmer, resistance dimmer and PWM dimmer signals can separately access the DIM+ and DIM− dimming input pins, and are converted into a PWM signal with a set frequency by the DIM signal conversion circuit, then the PWM signal is transmitted and converted into DDIM through U6, the DDIM signal drives Q2, and Q2 is in an on-off state. VDIM charges C2 through the switching effect of Q2, and is filtered by RC integration through R9 and C1 into a stable direct current voltage, which is divided by R10 and R11 to a pin 5 of U2. The pin 5 of U2 is the voltage reference of a CC current control value loop, and C3 is a filter capacitor. When the magnitudes of the 0-10V dimmer, resistance dimmer and PWM dimmer signals change, the duty cycle of the PWM1 signal becomes larger or smaller, PWM1 is converted into a DDIM signal through U6, VDD, R21, and R24, and at this time, the duty cycle of DDIM also increases or decreases with the dimming signal. Moreover, because DDIM controls the turn-on time of Q2, the reference voltage of the output current control circuit of the pin 5 of U2 also increases or decreases accordingly. When the reference voltage of the output current control circuit changes, the power supply output current changes with the reference voltage, thereby achieving the signal dimming function of the 0-10 V dimmer, the resistance dimmer, and the PWM dimmer.

  • In conclusion, the 0-10V dimmer, resistance dimmer and PWM dimmer signals are converted into a DDIM digital PWM signal by a circuit, DDIM controls Q2 to be turned on and off, and VDIM gives the reference voltage of the output current control circuit through Q2. When the 0-10V dimmer signal changes, the duty cycle of DDIM changes, and the reference voltage of the output current control circuit changes, such that the output current changes, and the dimming function of the 0-10 V dimmer is achieved.
  • The principle of a resistance dimming mode: the DIM pin of U5 has a constant output current of 0.1 mA, and the resistance dimmer is connected between DIM+ and DIM−, with a maximum resistance of 100 K. The dimming curve and dimming principle are the same as the conversion principle of the 0-10 V dimming signal. When the resistance of the resistance dimmer is adjusted to 100 K, the voltage of the DIM pin of U5 is 10 V, and the duty cycle of DDIM is 100%. When the resistance of the resistance dimmer is adjusted to 50 K, the duty cycle of DDIM is 50%. When the resistance of the resistance dimmer is adjusted to 10 K, the duty cycle of DDIM is 10%.
  • The principle of a PWM dimming mode: the PWM dimmer is connected between DIM+ and DIM−, with a maximum duty cycle of 100%. The dimming curve and dimming principle are the same as the conversion principle of the 0-10 V dimming signal. When the duty cycle of the PWM dimmer is adjusted to 100%, the duty cycle of DDIM is 100%. When the duty cycle of the PWM dimmer is adjusted to 50%, the duty cycle of DDIM is 50%. When the duty cycle of the PWM dimmer is adjusted to 10%, the duty cycle of DDIM is 10%.
  • When the DIM pin is suspended, and the 0-10 V, resistance and PWM signals do not access, the output duty cycle of PWM1 is 100%.
  • The principle of the output current control circuit is as follows: the schematic diagram of the output current control circuit is shown in the dotted line block diagram of FIG. 31 . The silicon controlled rectifier signal conversion circuit generates a VDIM analog voltage signal, the DIM signal conversion circuit generates a digital PWM signal DDIM, DDIM drives Q2, and Q2 is in an on-off state. Under the switching effect of Q2, VDIM is converted into a stable direct current voltage signal V3 through the RC integral filter circuit. V3 is divided by the resistors R10 and R11 and filtered by the capacitor C3 to obtain a CC current loop control reference voltage V4. V4 is a non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier, and the signal conversion logic diagram is shown in FIG. 32 .
  • Assuming that the output current is Io, the current measurement is performed through the resistor R1, the current signal is converted into a voltage signal and then transmitted to the pin 6 of U2 through the resistor R3, namely an inverting input terminal of the dual operational amplifier, and then the detection voltage V5 of the output current is =Io*R1. When the output current is constant at Io, according to the principle of a dual operational amplifier, the voltages of the non-inverting input terminal and the inverting input terminal of the dual operational amplifier are equal. That is, the reference voltage V4 of the output current control circuit is equal to the output current detection feedback voltage V5, that is, voltage V4=V5. Because V4=V3*R11/(R11+R10), and V5=Io*R1, the output current calculation formula is that Io=V3*R11/[R1*(R11+R10)]. It can be seen from the output current calculation formula that the output current Io is a positive function curve of V3, where R1, R10, and R11 are quantitative values. When the voltage of V3 changes, the power supply output current changes synchronously with V3. When dimming is performed by the silicon controlled rectifier dimmer, the 0-10 V dimmer, the resistance dimmer, and the PWM dimmer, the dimming signal is converted into a direct current voltage of V3 through the signal conversion circuit. In view of the above, when the dimming angle of the silicon controlled rectifier dimmer, the dimming voltage of the 0-10 V dimmer, the resistance of the resistance dimmer, and the PWM duty cycle of the PWM dimmer change, the voltage of V3 changes. Moreover, because Io=V3*R11/[R1*(R11+R10)], the output current Io changes, thereby achieving six-in-one dimming of silicon controlled rectifier, ELV, MLV, 0-10 V, resistance and PWM.
