Abstract

The present invention discloses a controller and a method for controlling dimming of light sources, and a light source driving circuit. A controller for controlling dimming of a light-emitting diode (LED) light source provides a pulse signal by comparing a sensing signal indicative of a current flowing through the LED light source to a reference signal. The controller controls the current throughthe LED light source according to the pulse signal during a first state of a pulse-width modulation signal and cutting off the current through the LED light source during a second state of the pulse-width modulation signal. The controller receives a dimming request signal indicative of an operation of a power switch coupled between an AC power source and a bridge rectifier and adjusts both a level of the reference signal and a duty cycle of the pulse-width modulation signal based on the dimming request signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a controller and a method for controlling the dimming of a light source and a light source driving circuit. Background technique [0002] In recent years, new light sources such as light-emitting diodes (light-emitting diodes, LEDs) have made progress in materials and manufacturing. LED has the characteristics of high efficiency, long life, bright colors, etc., and can be used in the fields of automobiles, computers, communications, military and daily necessities. For example, LED lamps can replace traditional incandescent lamps as lighting sources. [0003] figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of a conventional LED driving circuit 100 . LED driver circuit 100 utilizes LED chain 106 as a light source. LED chain 106 includes a plurality of LEDs connected in series. The power converter 102 is used to convert the DC input voltage Vin into a desired DC output voltage Vout for powering the LED chain 106 . The switch 104 conne...
