以下结合图3对本发明的原理进行详细说明。
在本实施例中,所述第一PMOS场效应管P1的最低Vds(漏极和源极电压差)耐受电压为第一LED灯串12111点亮时两端电压差。以所述第一LED灯串12111中的LED为HV高压LED为例进行说明,所述HV LED一般由6颗功率为1W的LED串联构成,那么其压降为18V,最低的Vsb和Vdb也为18V,最低的Vb_sub(衬底端Bulk至基板Substrate的电压)为311V,在实际的工艺中,可取更大的阈值,基于目前的半导体工艺,该MOS管可在芯片内部集成,即驱动电路可进一步进行集成,从而减少了电路布局以及占用的空间,使得所述LED驱动装置可以做的更小,进而使得成品可以做的更小,大大方便了人们的使用。
本发明实施例中,所述第一N型驱动模块141、第二N型驱动模块142、第三N型驱动模块143和第四N型驱动模块144的电路也相同。所述第一电阻R1、第二电阻R2、第三电阻R3和第四电阻R4均为采样电阻。所述第一比较器Q1、第三比较器Q3、第五比较器Q5和第七比较器Q7用于过流检测,将采样电阻上的电压与其第一基准电压Vref_h进行比较。以第一比较器Q1为例进行说明,当第一电阻R1的电流超过预先的设定值,即采样电阻的电压高于第一基准电压Vref_h,所述第一比较器Q1的输出端输出高电平,反之则输出低电平。所述第二比较器Q2、第四比较器Q4、第六比较器Q6和第八比较器Q8用于欠流检测,将采样电阻上的电压与第二基准电压Vref_l进行比较。以第二比较器Q2为例,当第二电阻R2的电流低于设定值时,则第二比较器Q2的输出端输出高电平,否则输出低电平。所述逻辑控制器150通过比较器的输出信号,即过流检测和欠流检测的输出结果,来控制各个NMOS场效应管的栅极电平状态,从而实现了控制各个LED灯组的亮与灭。
采用本发明提供的LED驱动装置,在上电复位后,所述逻辑控制器150的G1~G4端为高电平,并且PG1端和PG2端也为高电平,第一NMOS场效应管至第四NMOS场效应管处于开启状态,而第一PMOS场效应管P1和第二PMOS场效应管P2处于关断状态。
当交流输入的输入信号的相位处在0°~90°或180°~270°时,整流桥110的输出电压从0开始升高至最高。
所述高效LED驱动装置的具体原理流程如下:当整流桥110的输出电压较低时,第一LED灯组1221点亮,电流从第一LED灯组1221流入第一NMOS场效应管M1中。随着整流桥110的输出电压的升高,第一LED灯组1221中的电流逐渐增大,第一NMOS场效应管M1的源极连接的采样电阻即第一电阻R1的电压逐渐升高,第一比较器Q1将采样电压和第一基准电压Vref_h进行比较后,输出高电平即逻辑控制器150的OV_H_1端为高电平。然后所述逻辑控制器150根据检测到的OV_H_1端为高电平将PG1端置为低电平,使得第一PMOS场效应管P1处于关断状态,从而使得第一LED灯串1211接入电路点亮发光,那么此时点亮的LED包括第一LED灯串1211和第一LED灯组1221。随着电压继续升高,LED灯长串120中流过的电流继续增加,当逻辑控制器150的OV_H_1端再次为高电平时,将PG2端置为低电平,使得第二PMOS场效应管P2处于关断状态,从而使得第二LED灯串1212点亮发光,那么此时点亮的LED包括第一LED灯串1211、第二LED灯串1212和第一LED灯组1221。
随着电压再继续升高,逻辑控制器150的OV_H_1端为高电平时,所述逻辑控制器150将G1端置为低电平,将PG1端和PG2端置为高电平,则第一LED灯组1221和第二LED灯组1222处于点亮的状态而第一LED灯串1211和第二LED灯串1212处于灭态。随着电压升高,第一LED灯组1221和第二LED灯组1222中的电流逐渐增加,当第二NMOS场效应管M2的源极的采样电阻即第二电阻R2上的电压超过第一基准电压vref_h时,逻辑控制器150的OV_H_2端为高电平。逻辑控制器150将PG1端置为低电平,则点亮第一LED灯串1211,此时由于第一LED灯串1211的分压作用,使逻辑控制器150的OV_H_2端变为低电平。随着电压继续升高,当OV_H_2端再次变为高电平时,逻辑控制器150将PG2端置为低电平,从而点亮第二LED灯串1212,此时逻辑控制器150的OV_H_2端再次变为低电平。此时点亮的LED包括第一LED灯串1211、第二LED灯串1212、第一LED灯组1221和第二LED灯组1222。随着电压继续升高,OV_H_2端第三次变为高电平时,逻辑控制器150将G2端置为低电平,PG1端和PG2端置为高电平,则第一LED灯组1221、第二LED灯组1222和第三LED灯组1223处于点亮的状态,而第一LED灯串1211和第二LED灯串1212处于灭态。以此类推,依次点亮余下的LED灯组。
当交流输入的输入信号的相位处在90°~180°或270°~360°时,在这样的时间段内,整流桥110的输出电压从最高电压降至0。
当整流桥110的输出电压达到一定电压值时,譬如达到较高电压值后LED灯长串120均点亮,电流从LED灯长串120流入第四N型驱动模块144。随着整流桥110输出电压的降低,输出电流逐渐减小,第四NMOS场效应管M4的源极的采样电阻即第四电阻R4上的电压也逐渐降低,当采样电压小于第七比较器Q7的第二基准电压Vref_l时,所述逻辑控制器150的OV_L_4端为低电平,逻辑控制150根据OV_L_4端为低电平,并将G4端、将PG1端和PG2端置为低电平,则第四LED灯组1224处于灭态,第一LED灯串1211、第二LED灯串1212、第一LED灯组1221、第二LED灯组1222和第三LED灯组1223处于亮态。由于处于亮态的LED数量减小,逻辑控制器150的OV_L_4端变为高电平。当电压再降低时,OV_L_4端为低电平,所述逻辑控制器150将PG1端置为高电平,使得第一LED灯串1211处于灭态,同时OV_L_4端恢复到高电平。当电压继续降低时,OV_L_4端输出为低电平,所述逻辑控制器150将PG2端置为高电平,使得第二LED灯串1212处于灭态,同时OV_L_4恢复到高电平,此时第一LED灯组1221、第二LED灯组1222和第三LED灯组1223处于亮态。当电压接着下降时,OV_L_4端为低电平,逻辑控制器150将G3端置为低电平,将PG1端和PG2端置为低电平,则第三LED灯组1223和第四LED灯组1224处于灭态,而第一LED灯串1211、第二LED灯串1212、第一LED灯组1221和第二LED灯组1222处于亮态。以此类推,依次灭掉余下的LED灯。
在具体应用时,将与第一基准电压Vref_h相连的比较器的反相输入端的电流值设定为10mA,与第二基准电压Vref_l连接的比较器的反相输入端的电流值设定为50mA。在N型驱动模块中的NMOS场效应管和采样电阻构成电流源电路,在具体应用设计中,电流源电路设定的最大电流为60mA,高于第一基准电压Vref¬_h设定的过流电流50mA。
当前第一LED灯组1221处于点亮状态时,且电压处于升高的时间段时,第一LED灯组1221中的电流逐渐增加,第一电阻R1上端的电压也随之升高。当第一电阻R1上端的电压高于第一基准电压Vref_h时,则第一LED灯组1221中的电流大于50mA。此时由于恒流源的特性,第一NMOS场效应管M1的漏极的电压将非常低,接近于第一电阻R1上端的电压,然后第一LED灯串1211点亮。此时,共有第一LED灯串1211及第一LED灯组1221处于点亮的状态。由于接入电路的LED的数量突然增加,所以LED灯长串120中流过的电流减小,通过控制第一LED灯串1211及第二LED灯串1212的数量,可以保证LED增加的数量相对于已经处于亮态的LED的数量不超过一定的比例上限,从而保证LED灯长串120的亮度不致过低,譬如可选取的比例的上限为1/3或1/4等。同理,也保证了LED减少的数量相对于已经处于亮态的LED的数量不超过一定的比例上限,从而保证了LED灯长串120的亮度不致变化过快,突然变亮。
并且,采用本发明提供的高效LED驱动装置,随着电压的升高,LED灯串中的电流增加,采样电阻上端的电压升高。但由于LED灯串中的电流始终小于电流源的最大的电流60mA,所以第一NMOS场效应管M1至第六NMOS场效应管M6的漏极的电压始终接近采样电阻上端的电压。设计中采样电阻取为30ohm,则在驱动过程中驱动模块的功耗小于30ohm*50mA*50mA=75mW。同时采用上述方案,在电压从最低到最高、最高到最低的过程,通过合理的控制,可以保证驱动模块的功耗在75mW附近,从而极大提高了驱动装置的效率。
基于上述原理,本发明还提供了一种LED驱动方法,包括:整流桥输出电压随时间变化,当电压幅度处于增长阶段时,LED亮灯数量相应增加;当电压幅度处于降低阶段时,LED亮灯数量相应减少;当电压幅度处于增长阶段时,譬如当LED灯串和LED灯组均未点亮时,随着输出电压升高,N型驱动模块控制LED灯组接入电路,随着输出电压继续升高,P型开关模块控制LED灯串接入电路;当电压幅度处于降低阶段时,譬如当LED灯串和LED灯组均点亮时;随着输出电压降低,P型开关模块控制LED灯串不接入电路,随着输出电压继续降低,N型驱动模块控制LED灯组不接入电路。
进一步地,所述LED灯串包括第一LED灯串和第二LED灯串;所述P型开关模块包括第一P型开关模块和第二P型开关模块;所述LED灯组包括第一LED灯组、第二LED灯组、第三LED灯组和第四LED灯组;所述N型驱动模块包括第一N型驱动模块、第二N型驱动模块、第三N型驱动模块和第四N型驱动模块;

当电压幅度处于降低阶段时,譬如当第一LED灯串、第二LED灯串、第一LED灯组、第二LED灯组、第三LED灯组和第四LED灯组均处于点亮状态时;随着输出电压降低,第二P型开关模块控制第二LED灯串熄灭,随着输出电压继续降低,第一P型开关模块控制第一LED灯串熄灭,此时第一LED灯组、第二LED灯组、第三LED灯组和第四LED灯组均处于点亮状态;随着电压继续降低,第四N型驱动模块控制第四LED灯组熄灭,第一LED灯串和第二LED灯串处于点亮状态;随着电压继续降低,第二P型开关模块控制第二LED灯串熄灭;随着输出电压继续降低,第一P型开关模块控制第一LED灯串熄灭,此时第一LED灯组、第二LED灯组和第三LED灯组处于点亮状态;以此类推至LED灯串和LED灯组全部熄灭。
