Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit design, and in particular to a high-power all-gallium nitride LED drive power supply circuit. Background Art

[0002] LED has the advantages of high electro-optical conversion efficiency, long service life, environmental protection and energy saving, and small size. While LED is shining, LED driver power supply is the guarantee for the development of the LED industry chain. The quality of LED power supply directly restricts the reliability and market promotion of LED products.

[0003] At present, the power supplies of the LED industry worth hundreds of billions are almost all silicon-based power supplies. The existing traditional silicon-based LED driver power supplies have the following key problems: First, with the increase in LED lighting power, the traditional large-volume, low-efficiency LED power supplies can no longer meet the slim lamp design and the heat dissipation problems in the small space of the lamp. The power supply efficiency is low, the heat is high, and the space heat dissipation is poor, which affects the power supply reliability; secondly, the LED power supply is required to have a longer life, lower current harmonic distortion, higher power factor, and higher power density.

[0004] Traditional silicon-based LED driver power supplies usually use silicon-based MOSFET as the switch tube, and adopt the circuit structure of power factor correction circuit + flyback circuit + output rectifier filter. This technical solution uses silicon-based MOSFET as the main switch tube, and the on-resistance of silicon-based MOSFET is generally large, which will lead to increased conduction loss and reduced power efficiency. At the same time, the flyback circuit structure makes it difficult to increase the operating frequency of the power supply, and the magnetic components such as transformers are large in size, which limits the improvement of the power density of the power supply.

[0005] Traditional silicon-based power electronic devices have gradually approached their theoretical limits, making it difficult to meet the development needs of high-frequency and high-power density LED power supplies, hindering the improvement of power system efficiency. Compared with traditional silicon-based devices, gallium nitride devices have significant advantages in on-resistance and gate charge, and the high-frequency characteristics of gallium nitride devices have been improved by more than ten times. Replacing traditional silicon-based power devices with gallium nitride power devices can solve the heating problem of traditional silicon power supplies and enable the power supply to achieve a smaller size, higher frequency and higher efficiency. The application of gallium nitride power devices in the field of LED driver power supplies has the advantages of being lightweight, miniaturized high-frequency auxiliary magnetic devices, increasing system operating frequency, and improving system efficiency. Therefore, the development of a high-efficiency and high-power-density gallium nitride LED driver power supply has very important application value. Summary of the invention
