A LED driver chip and circuit for improving compatibility with thyristor dimmer

Abstract

The present invention provides an LED drive chip and circuit that improves the compatibility with a thyristor dimmer, the chip is connected to a peripheral circuit including a thyristor dimmer and an input current sampling resistor, including a hysteresis comparator, a Transconductance module, a first NMOS transistor, a first PMOS transistor, a second PMOS transistor, a second NMOS transistor, a compensation capacitor, an isolation capacitor, a first comparator, and a driving module. The present invention does not increase the input current by directly pulling down the bus voltage Vin, and the increased input current is still part of the output current, so compared with the prior art shown in Figure 1, the efficiency is significantly improved, especially when the output current is small In addition, the present invention does not need to use high-voltage MOS tubes and does not need to add additional chip pins, thereby reducing costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of LED driving, in particular to an LED driving chip and a circuit that improve compatibility with silicon controlled dimmers. Background technique [0002] As a dimming device for traditional lighting fixtures, the thyristor dimmer has the advantages of low cost, simple and reliable circuit, and good dimming effect. Therefore, the thyristor dimmer has become the most widely used dimming device for traditional lighting fixtures such as incandescent lamps. As LED lamps gradually replace traditional lighting fixtures, the market requires that LED drive circuits must also be compatible with thyristor dimmers. [0003] Since traditional lighting fixtures such as incandescent lamps are resistive loads, thyristor dimmers have natural adaptability to resistive loads. The LED is a current-driven load. When the LED current is small and the input current of the drive circuit is lower than the holding current of the thyristor ...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) The MOS tube M0' must be a high-pressure tube, which increases the area and cost

[0007] (2) The input current increased by the pull-down of the MOS transistor M0' flows directly to the ground through the current limiting resistors R1' and M0', which increases the loss and affects the efficiency

On this basis, if the high-voltage MOS transistor M0' is set outside the chip as a peripheral circuit, the system cost will be increased. At the same time, the output terminal of the amplifier 21' must be connected to the high-voltage MOS transistor M0' through the external pin of the chip, so the chip must In addition, a pin is added, which increases the cost of the chip; if the high-voltage MOS transistor M0' is integrated in the chip, the output terminal of the amplifier 21' can be directly connected to the gate of the high-voltage MOS transistor M0', but the high-voltage MOS transistor 21' The drain must be connected to the bus outside the chip connected to the positive output terminal of the rectifier circuit 12' through the resistor R1', so the chip still needs to add an extra pin
