Problems solved by technology

However, if figure 2 As shown, the actual PWM signal 2 is skewed during the turn-on and turn-off process, and the clock signal CLK 3 also has jitter
The distortion of the PWM signal 2 and the sharp jump of the clock signal CLK 3 will lead to errors in the calculation of the duty ratio
For example, the same PWM signal 2 may calculate a different duty ratio, and the dimming signal will be unstable due to the calculation error, which will cause the LED circuit 4 to flicker

Abstract

The invention provides a light emitting diode (LED) controller having a function of flicker removal, an LED flicker removal circuit and a related method. The LED controller having the function of the flicker removal comprises a duty ratio counting circuit, the LED flicker removal circuit and a dimming circuit, wherein the duty ratio counting circuit is used for receiving a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal and generating an operating input signal to represent the duty ratio of the PWM signal; the LED flicker removal circuit is used for receiving the operating input signal and generating an operating output signal to filter noise of the operating input signal; and the dimming circuit is used for receiving the operating output signal and generating a dimming signal to control an LED circuit, wherein the operating output signal retains a previous operating output signal and is unchanged when the change value of the operating input signal is not greater than a hysteresis critical value, and the operating output signal follows the current operating input signal when the change value of the operation input signal is greater than the hysteresis critical value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED) controller with a flicker-removing function, in particular to an LED controller utilizing hysteresis effect to remove flicker. The present invention also relates to a circuit for removing flicker from an LED, and a method for removing the flicker from an LED circuit. Background technique [0002] figure 1 A prior art circuit is shown, the LED controller 1 controls the LED circuit 4 . The brightness of the LED can be adjusted according to the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal 2 . The higher the duty ratio, the brighter the LED. exist figure 1 In the circuit, the calculation of the duty ratio is to use the clock signal CLK 3 with a higher frequency in the duty ratio calculation circuit 110 to count the pulse width and period of the PWM signal 2, so as to calculate the duty ratio (in an n-bit digital signal). ), the dimming circuit 11 generates a dimming signal according...
