A kind of control method of dimming circuit

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method of a dimming circuit. In the method, a current detection module detects the current flowing through the LED, a judging module judges the duration of the current, and determines the state of the switch through a preset threshold, outputs a state control signal, and the switching module outputs different voltage control signals according to the control signal. The method realizes the on-off of the circuit detection switch by detecting the change of the source current of the power tube, and avoids the misjudgment of the on-off of the switch caused by the inconsistency of the discharge time caused by the difference between the components in the circuit and the difference of the external application device. The internal clock timer of the chip controls the preset time, and the dimming consistency is high, which avoids the misjudgment of the detection by the switch interference, and ensures that the switch dimming method can be used in a large area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of LED lighting control, in particular to a control method for an LED switch dimming circuit. Background technique [0002] There are many forms of LED dimming circuits currently on the market, mainly including thyristor dimming, PWM dimming and switch dimming. Most switch dimming is performed by detecting the on-off action of the power switch. This working method is based on threshold value comparison. Change, when the voltage on the capacitor is higher than the first threshold, it is judged that the switch is off, when the voltage on the capacitor is lower than the second threshold, the switch is on, the on-off action of the power switch is judged, and the on-off action is counted , The counting result is maintained after power failure, and a corresponding reference voltage is output according to the number of power failures to control the current flowing through the LED, thereby realizing dimming. This ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] On the one hand, the falling time of the capacitor voltage is greatly affected by the parameters of the capacitor, such as the actual capacity of the capacitor, the leakage current of the capacitor, the temperature characteristics of the capacitor, and these parameters of capacitors from different manufacturers cannot be unified. There are also deviations in the parameters, which seriously affect the accuracy of switch detection; on the other hand, when the power switch is switched on and off quickly, it will cause inaccurate dimming detection, missing detection or less detection of switching actions. The result is that one switch controls multiple lights. When switching on and off the power supply quickly, there will be inconsistencies in the dimming state between the lamp and the lamp, which makes the switch dimming unable to be used in commercial large-area areas such as shopping malls and supermarkets.
