Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the prior art, because the digital dimming mode and the analog dimming mode applied to light-emitting diode dimming have their own advantages, although the user can set the driving circuit of the light-emitting diode to operate in digital dimming mode or Analog dimming mode, but the driving circuit of the light emitting diode must have different pins to receive the external signal corresponding to the digital dimming mode and the analog dimming mode, or the printed circuit board should be modified accordingly, causing the existing technology to be difficult for users not a good choice

Abstract

The invention discloses a controller for dimming a light-emitting diode and a method. The controller comprises a pulse width modulation pin, a low-pass filter, a frequency detection unit and a control signal generation module, wherein the low-pass filter generates a direct current signal according to a pulse width modulation signal generated by a microcontroller; the frequency detection unit generates a logic value according to a critical value and the pulse width modulation signal; the control signal generation module generates a switching control signal to a first switch which is connected with the light-emitting diode in series according to the direct current signal, the logic value, the reference voltage and the pulse width modulation signal; when the frequency of the pulse width modulation signal is lower than the critical value, the controller enters a digital dimming mode; and when the frequency of the pulse width modulation signal is higher than the critical value, the controller enters an analogue dimming mode. Therefore, a printed circuit board does not need to be correspondingly modified and the added burden is not increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a controller and method for dimming light-emitting diodes, in particular to a controller and method for dimming light-emitting diodes that can realize digital dimming mode and analog dimming mode on the same pin according to the frequency of pulse width modulation signals controller and method. Background technique [0002] The digital dimming mode and the analog dimming mode applied to light-emitting diode dimming have their own advantages. For example, the analog dimming mode has the following advantages: first, better color saturation in the analog dimming mode; ), there is a large product design space; third, the analog dimming mode will not produce water ripples, so the analog dimming mode is more friendly to the human eye, that is to say, it has a marketing theme; fourth, the analog dimming mode produces The frequency of electromagnetic waves falls within the range (1Hz-30kHz) regulated by the Swedish Federation...
