Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of LED drive circuits, and in particular to a single-stage non-isolated electrolytic capacitor-free LED drive circuit. Background Art
[0002] In today's environment of advocating environmental protection, compared with traditional lighting sources such as incandescent lamps, LEDs are widely used in various occasions because of their advantages such as long service life, energy saving and high efficiency, environmental protection and harmlessness, and simple control.
[0003] Electrolytic capacitors are used in common LED driver power supplies to balance the twice power frequency pulsating power, but the life of the electrolytic capacitor cannot reach the service life of the LED lamp with a working time of nearly 50,000 hours. In addition, the temperature will seriously affect the working life of the electrolytic capacitor. For every 10°C increase in temperature, the service life of the electrolytic capacitor will be halved accordingly. When the working environment temperature of the LED driver power supply is too high, the internal electrolyte boils, which will cause permanent damage to the electrolytic capacitor. Therefore, in order to give full play to the excellent characteristics of LED lamps, it is necessary to remove the electrolytic capacitor in the LED driver power supply, thereby improving the life and reliability of the LED driver power supply.
[0004] In order to eliminate the influence of electrolytic capacitors on the life of LED driver power supply, the existing technologies can be summarized into two types. One is to improve the control strategy based on the existing circuit; the other is to innovate the topology to balance the pulsating power, thereby removing the electrolytic capacitor and reducing the capacitance by injecting harmonic current on the input side. However, the injection of harmonic current will bring about the problem of reduced power factor, so it is not suitable for occasions with strict requirements on power factor. Based on the characteristic that the LED luminous intensity is independent of the instantaneous current waveform, it is proposed to use a pulsating current to drive the LED on the output side, which effectively reduces the power pulsation between the input and output, reduces the capacitance, and has a high power factor. However, the current flowing through the LED contains twice the industrial frequency component, which will cause flicker and cause visual fatigue to the human eye.
[0005] However, the traditional LED driving circuit has the following disadvantages:
[0006] The current LED drive circuit has improved the circuit efficiency, but the control is relatively complex, which limits its application. Some LED drive circuits have high core utilization and efficiency, but require an additional inductor on the output side to reduce the output current ripple, which increases the circuit cost.
