[0031] Specific embodiments of the present application are described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments applied for are merely examples of the present application, which may be implemented in a variety of ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that obscure the present application. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details applied for herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely serve as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present application in a variety of ways with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0032] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0033] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a connection diagram of an LED control circuit in the prior art, which mainly includes: a power module 10, an under voltage lockout (UVLO) module 20, a bandgap reference module 30, a loop integral control module 40, an LED load 50 and a drive module 70. Figure 1As shown, the input end of the power module 10 is connected to the bus (mains), the output end of the power module 10 is connected to the undervoltage lockout module 20 and the bandgap reference module 30 respectively, and the input end of the loop integral control module 40 is connected to the output end of the undervoltage lockout module 20, the output end of the bandgap reference module 30 and the sampling resistor R cs The first end of the loop integral control module 40 is connected to the gate of the power tube Q1 through the driving module 70, the first end of the LED load 50 is connected to the bus (mains), and the second end of the LED load 50 is connected to the sampling resistor R through the power tube Q1. cs The first end of the sampling resistor R cs LED load 50 may be an LED lamp or an LED lamp group, and a filtering capacitor 52 may be connected in parallel at both ends of the load.

It should be noted that when the circuit is connected, the driving of different types of power tubes Q1 can be realized by adjusting the input contents of the two input terminals of the operational amplifier AMP1.

Figure 4 Based on the circuit shown in the figure, a sampling resistor R is added csSpecifically, the quick response module 60 includes an operational amplifier AMP1, a comparator COMP1 and a timing unit, wherein the connection mode of the operational amplifier is similar to that of the timing unit. Figure 4 The first input terminal of the comparator COMP1 is connected to the output terminal of the bandgap reference module 30, and is used to receive the second reference value output by the bandgap reference module 30. The second input terminal of the comparator COMP1 is connected to the sampling resistor R cs The first end is connected to receive the sampling resistor R cs The input terminal of the timing unit is connected in series with the output terminal of the comparator COMP1, and its output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the loop integral control module 40; specifically, the timing unit mainly includes a timer Countor and an oscillation (OSC) module, such as Figure 5 As shown, the input end of the timer Countor is connected in series with the output end of the comparator COMP1, and its output end is connected to the input end of the loop integral control module 40. The OSC module is connected in series with the timer Countor to provide a standard clock signal to the timer Countor. It should be understood that the second reference value output by the bandgap reference module 30 is usually a reference voltage V REF , is a stable voltage determined and output based on the mains; in this embodiment, the timing function is realized by the OSC module and the timer Countor, but in actual use, it is not limited to the use of the OSC module and the timer Countor, and any circuit that can achieve the timing effect can be applied in this embodiment.

At this time, the sampling voltage V cs Less than the reference voltage V REF , the comparator COMP1 outputs an activation signal EN to the timer Countor; the timer Countor starts to count the first time length when receiving the activation signal EN, and when the first time length exceeds the preset time length, the timer Countor outputs a reset signal REST1 to the loop integration control module 40; the loop integration control module 40 adjusts the output voltage of its output terminal to 0 based on the reset signal REST1; when the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier AMP1 is connected to the loop integration control module 40 and the negative input terminal is connected to the sampling resistor, the positive input V R is 0, and the negative input terminal is a sampling voltage V greater than 0 cs , in order to prevent the sampling resistor R cs Instantaneous current after short circuit I csIf the voltage is too large for a long time, the circuit will be damaged. The operational amplifier AMP1 will reduce or even shut down the voltage V output at its output terminal. gate , the voltage applied to the gate of the N-MOS tube is reduced or no longer applied, gradually shutting off the path between the source and drain of the power tube Q1, disconnecting the power tube, and thus achieving the purpose of protecting the circuit. Of course, when using the P-MOS tube as the power tube, the signals input to the two input terminals of the operational amplifier AMP1 can be reversed, that is, at V R Less than V cs In this case, the operational amplifier AMP1 outputs a high level to turn off the P-mos tube.

[0043] In addition, refer to Figure 5 In the connection mode of the circuit, the positive input terminal (first input terminal) of the comparator COMP1 is connected to the output terminal of the bandgap reference module 30, and the negative input terminal (second input terminal) is connected to the sampling resistor R cs The first end is connected to the reference voltage V output by the bandgap reference module 30 REF Greater than 0V and less than V when the circuit is working normally cs The peak value; when V cs Greater than V REF When the comparator COMP1 outputs a low level, when V cs Less than V REF When the sampling resistor R cs short circuit, at this time, the comparator COMP1 outputs a high level as the activation signal EN, and the timer Countor starts to count the first time length when receiving the activation signal EN, and compares it with the internal preset time length Tth, wherein the value of the preset time length Tth must be greater than or equal to one cycle T of the bus voltage after the bridge. In order to improve the reliability of the detection and prevent the LED circuit from being triggered to shut down by mistake, Tth can be set to K times T, where K is a real number greater than or equal to 1; when the first time length exceeds the preset time length Tth, the timer Countor outputs a REST1 signal to the loop integration control module 40, and the loop integration control module 40 is reset based on the REST1 signal, and its output voltage V R =0, and after being processed by the operational amplifier AMP1, the power tube Q1 is turned off and will not be released until the system is powered off and powered on again, thus reaching R cs The purpose of short circuit protection is to prevent R cs After short circuit I cs Excessive current for a long time may cause circuit damage.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 In the connection mode, when the comparator COMP1 outputs a high level, the timer Countor starts timing. In actual use, the output signal of the comparator COMP1 can also be inverted, that is, when Vcs Voltage Ratio V REF When the voltage is high, the output EN of comparator COMP1 is high. cs Voltage Ratio V REF When the voltage is low, the output EN of the comparator COMP1 is at a low level, and EN is effective at a low level.
