Background technology
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of traditional led drive circuit.As shown in Figure 1, resistance R that between power supply VIN and ground, is connected in series 1 and voltage-stabiliser tube Z1, the positive pole of voltage-stabiliser tube Z1 is connected to ground, and the negative pole of voltage-stabiliser tube Z1 is connected to an end of resistance R 1, and the other end of resistance R 1 is connected to power supply VIN; Capacitor C1 is connected in parallel in the two ends of voltage-stabiliser tube Z1; The negative pole of sustained diode 1 is connected to positive pole and the power supply VIN of load LED, and the positive pole of sustained diode 1 is connected to first end of inductance L, and second end of inductance L is connected to the negative pole of load LED; Switching tube M1 is connected between inductance L and the sampling resistor RCS, the controlled control circuit that illustrates in the frame of broken lines that is formed on of this switching tube M1, it by resistance R 1, capacitor C1, voltage-stabiliser tube Z1 from power supply VIN power taking.Control circuit generally includes timer 12, comparator 11 and rest-set flip-flop 13.
During switching tube M1 conducting, the inductance L electric current increases, node CS place voltage increases, when node CS place voltage is elevated to reference voltage V1, comparator 11 upsets, rest-set flip-flop 13 zero clearings, switching tube M1 turn-offs, timer 12 picks up counting, and inductance L is by sustained diode 1, load LED discharge, and electric current reduces; When the timer timing finished, rest-set flip-flop 13 was put height, and switching tube M1 opens again, finishes one-period.
In above-mentioned traditional drive circuit, there are following two shortcomings: the first, power supply VIN gives drive circuitry by resistance R 1, capacitor C1, voltage-stabiliser tube Z1.Usually drive circuit works voltage is about 12 volts, and the power supply electrifying pressure may be the high pressure more than two hectovolts, on resistance R 1, just have the pressure drop of hundreds of volt like this, even the driving circuit section current sinking is 1mA, also can consume the hundreds of milliwatt on the resistance, in addition because system adopts the very big Alternating Current Power Supply of ripple, also can provide drive circuit required electric current in order to satisfy when the voltage trough, and when the voltage crest, electric current on the resistance R 1 can increase greatly, this unnecessary electric current is discharged into ground by voltage-stabiliser tube Z1, when for example the trough supply voltage was 100V, electric current 1mA on the resistance R 1 was when peak voltage 200V, electric current is about 2mA on the resistance R 1, and unnecessary 1mA arrives ground by voltage-stabiliser tube Z1.In addition, because switching tube M1 is the high-voltage power metal-oxide-semiconductor, its grid parasitic capacitance is very big, thereby drives the electric current that this power tube need be very big, causes the quiescent current of whole drive circuit big, thereby makes that the power consumption on the resistance R 1 is bigger.The second, this driving method comes the constant output electric current by control peak current and ripple current, and peak current is by comparator 11, reference voltage V1 and sampling resistor RCS determine, the electric current descending slope of inductance L is directly proportional with output voltage V out, and as shown in Figure 2, ripple current can be drawn by following formula
Inductive current waveform and average inductor current when dotted line is corresponding to high output voltage among Fig. 2, clearly, in the identical turn-off time, the output voltage height, ripple current is big, and average current is low.
As seen, it is low that traditional LED drives efficient, and output current is subjected to output voltage influence big.

Further describe according to the course of work of led drive circuit of the present utility model and the beneficial effect of being realized below with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
The utility model with power switch MOS transistor M3 gate voltage fixed at VDD, and drive from its source electrode by low tension switch MOS transistor M2, drive current is provided by load LED, inductance L, power switch MOS transistor M3 by power supply VIN, rather than provide by VDD, still need VDD that electric current is provided though drive low tension switch MOS transistor M2, but because M2 is the low tension switch MOS transistor, parasitic capacitance parasitic capacitance on the grid of power switch MOS transistor M3 on its grid, thereby the drive circuit that its drive current is compared among Fig. 1 is little a lot.
The utility model also adds resistance R 2 and feedback stream diode D2 between power switch MOS transistor M3 source node SDS and drive circuitry power supply node VDD.When low tension switch MOS transistor M2 opens, power supply VIN charges to inductance L by load LED, low tension switch MOS transistor M2, power switch MOS transistor M3 and resistance R CS, node SWD and SWS voltage all approach 0, it is 0 that the 3rd capacitor C3 (also can not external the 3rd capacitor C3, and utilize the parasitic capacitance of power switch MOS transistor M3) goes up voltage; When low tension switch MOS transistor M2 closes, inductive current is by sustained diode 1, the discharge of load LED loop, the voltage at the drain node SWD place of power switch MOS transistor M3 is elevated to supply voltage from 0 at this moment, by resistance R 2, feedback stream diode D2, capacitor C1, C3, power supply VIN, load LED, capacitor C1 is given in the inductance L loop, the C3 charging, the final voltage of capacitor C3 is VIN-VDD, the charging current direction is shown in I among Fig. 3, capacitor C1 energy storage is to supply with drive circuit, dissipative cell in the charging path except that load LED is resistance R 2 and feedback stream diode D2, because in the charging process, voltage on resistance R 2 and the feedback stream diode D2 is very low, thereby extra power consumption is very low.When being used for system start-up, resistance R 1 powers to control circuit, because the quiescent current of control circuit own is little and exist the supply access resistance R 2 of low-power consumption and feedback to flow diode D2, so the circuit that the electric current that passes through on the resistance R 1 is compared among Fig. 1 can reduce greatly, thereby total system power dissipation reduces greatly, and efficient is improved significantly.
Resistance R 3, PNP transistor Q1, current amplifier 33, capacitor C2, nmos pass transistor M1, second comparator 32, reference voltage V2 have constituted a kind of implementation of self adaptation turn-off time control of the present utility model.PNP transistor Q1 and resistance R 3 change into proportional electric current with Vout with output voltage V out, this electric current is adjusted through current amplifier 33, give capacitor C2 charging, voltage and reference voltage V2 that second comparator 32 compares on the capacitor C2, when the voltage on the capacitor C2 reaches reference voltage V2, rest-set flip-flop 34 set, low tension switch MOS transistor M2 opens, and gives capacitor C2 zero clearing by nmos pass transistor M1 simultaneously.When low tension switch MOS transistor M2 turn-offed, nmos pass transistor M1 also turn-offed, and capacitor C2 begins charging, until the voltage on the capacitor C2 when opening low tension switch MOS transistor M2 again when being raised to reference voltage V2 till.Because charging current is directly proportional with output voltage, so low tension switch MOS transistor M2 turn-off time and output voltage V out be inversely proportional to, and the turn-off time is drawn by following formula:
And the inductive current descending slope is directly proportional with output voltage V out, and therefore, ripple current and Vout are irrelevant, and ripple current is drawn by following formula:
As shown in Figure 4, when output voltage changed, the output average current was constant.
Correspondingly, adopt source drive according to high-efficiency constant-current LED driving method of the present utility model, and give the power supply of source drive control circuit via feedback stream diode D2 from the source electrode of power switch MOS transistor M3, to reduce the voltage on the supply access and to reduce the quiescent current of drive circuit; And utilize the output voltage V out at load LED two ends that power switch MOS transistor M3 is carried out the control of self adaptation turn-off time, so that output current is constant.
Should be appreciated that the technical solution of the utility model one is to adopt source drive, the drive circuit current sinking of this type of drive is few, and has reduced the electric current on the R1 in traditional High Pressure Difference supply access, thereby has reduced power consumption, has improved efficient; The 2nd, produce the self adaptation turn-off time that is inversely proportional to output voltage, realize the output of constant ripple current and average current.
Described in this specification is preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, and above embodiment is only in order to the explanation the technical solution of the utility model but not to restriction of the present utility model.All those skilled in the art according to design of the present utility model by the available technical scheme of logical analysis, reasoning, or a limited experiment, all should be within as the scope of the present utility model that claim defined.
