[0043] According to the first embodiment, when the voltage level of the voltage signal V2 is higher than the voltage level of the voltage signal V3, the switch controller 130 keeps turning on the switch SW, and the voltage level of the reference voltage signal Vref is equal to the voltage level of the voltage signal V1 Therefore, the light source DL performs dimming by adjusting the continuous current I flowing through the resistor R1 (the current I is determined by the voltage level of the reference voltage signal Vref), that is The light source DL is dimmed in an analog dimming mode; and when the voltage level of the voltage signal V2 is lower than the voltage level of the voltage signal V3, the switch controller 130 alternately turns on and off the switches SW, and the voltage of the reference voltage signal Vref The level is fixed and the same as the voltage level of the voltage signal V3 to provide a fixed discontinuous current I. Therefore, the light source DL is dimmed b...

Abstract

The present invention provides a light source dimming control circuit, which includes a voltage signal generator for generating a first voltage signal between a predetermined voltage level and a ground level; a reference voltage signal generator for generating a reference voltage signal at an output end according to the first voltage signal and a second voltage signal; a first switch with a first end coupled to an output end of a light source; a first resistor with a first end coupled to a second end of the first switch, and a second end coupled to a ground end; a switch controller coupled to the first switch and the voltage signal generator for controlling on / off states of the first switch according to a sawtooth signal and the first voltage signal; and a current controller for controlling current flowing through the first resistor according to the reference voltage signal. The light source dimming control circuit provided by the invention can be used for dimming a light source between an analog dimming mode and a pulse width modulation dimming mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light source dimming control circuit, in particular to a light source dimming control circuit capable of dimming a light source between an analog dimming mode and a pulse width modulation dimming mode. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of related technologies, various light sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) or cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs), are applied to various lighting devices to save power. The LED light source is a light source controlled by current, wherein the brightness of the LED light source is related to the magnitude of the driving current. In general, LED light sources can be dimmed according to a pulse width modulation method or an analog method. [0003] In the PWM dimming mode, a switch is alternately turned on and off according to the duty cycle of a PWM signal to generate a discontinuous current as the driving current of the LED light source. Although the pulse width m...
