Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of LED drive circuits, in particular to a dimmable LED drive circuit and a control method. Background technique
[0002] The LED drive usually adopts a linear drive mode, which has the advantages of simple structure, low EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference, electromagnetic interference), and compatibility with most thyristor dimmers to achieve dimming. However, when the linear LED driver is used with the thyristor dimmer, in order to maintain the conduction of the thyristor, there must be a bleeder current, such as figure 1 As shown in the circuit, this will undoubtedly increase the loss of the system, reduce the efficiency of the system, and cannot increase the application power of the system.
[0003] In addition, when the SCR conduction angle is small, there will be a flashing problem. This is because when the input peak voltage is close to the output LED lamp voltage after the SCR wave is cut, the SCR dimmer will ...
