Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electric lighting, in particular to an LED driving circuit, in particular to a step-down constant current LED driving circuit for automobile lighting. Background technique [0002] In the mid-1980s, LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes, light-emitting diodes) began to be used in automobile central high mount stop lamps (CHMSL, Central High Mounted Stop Lamp). Panel backlighting generally adopts LED as a new solid-state light source. After entering the new century, with the improvement of LED power and brightness, in addition to automobile headlights, LED has fully entered the application of automobile lighting and signal systems. [0003] LED has significant advantages such as fast response speed, low power consumption, energy saving, and long life. Due to the fast response speed of LED, it is especially suitable for the application of automobile brake lights and turn signals, which can reduce the probability of traffic ac...

Problems solved by technology

However, for the circuit topology of the step-down circuit, some PWM modulation chips without MOS tube driving capability cannot drive the MOS tube. To achieve a complete on and off state, the abnormal state of the switch of the MOS tube will affect the normal operation of the entire LED drive circuit

A common method of driving the gate is a gate driver, but the price of a dedicated gate driver chip is relatively high

[0006] On the other hand, LED driver modules are used in the field of automotive lights, and short circuits and open circuits often occur in the production line or installation wiring process, resulting in the failure and damage of the entire LED driver module

[0007] For the thermal problems of high-power LEDs, since the current value of LEDs will change with temperature, when the current is too high, the temperature will also increase, which will affect the service life of high-power LEDs
