[0104] Based on the above design, the following Figure 6 The overall working principle of the over-temperature protection circuit 10 provided in this application is described.

[0105] In the positive temperature coefficient current module 100, PM13 and PM14 form a pair of current mirrors, and NM11 and NM12 form a pair of current mirrors. In addition, PM13 and PM14 have the same width-to-length ratio (i.e., the MOS tubes have the same size), and the width-to-length ratio of NM11 and NM12 is 1: , from which we can get the following formula:

[0106] (1)

[0107] Right now:

[0108] (2)

[0109] in, is the gate-source voltage of NM11, is the gate-source voltage of NM12, is the threshold voltage of NM11, is the threshold voltage of NM12, is the drain current of NM11, is the drain current of NM12, is the width-to-length ratio of NM11, is the electron mobility of the MOS tube, is the process constant of the MOS tube.

[0110] From the current mirror relationship and MOS tube technology, we can know that: = = = , = .

[0111] So we can get:

[0112] (1 ) = 7 (3)

[0113] Right now:

[0114] (4)

[0115] in:

[0116] (5)

[0117] In formula (5) is T= The electron mobility at , m is the temperature constant, and is substituted into formula (4) to obtain:

[0118] (6)

[0119] According to formula (6), the PM14 drain generates It is the current that increases with the increase of temperature T.

[0120] In the overtemperature adaptive module 200, PM1, PM2, and PM3 form three pairs of current mirrors with PM14 in the positive temperature coefficient current module 100. PM4 and NM2 form an inverter, PM5 and NM3 form an inverter. NM4 and PM6 form a transmission gate, and NM5 and PM7 form a transmission gate. The specific operating principle is as follows:

[0121] PM1 copy To R1 branch (the width-to-length ratio of PM14 to PM1 is 1): ), a PTAT (positive temperature coefficient) voltage is generated on R1 :

[0122] (7)

[0123] R2, R3 and A1 form a voltage subtractor. The inverting input of A1 is a PTAT voltage generated by the voltage divider of R2 and R3, and the non-inverting input of A1 is the reference voltage. , the output voltage of A1 is , the calculation formula is as follows:

[0124] (8)

[0125] Because the temperature coefficients of R2 and R3 are the same, is a reference voltage that is independent of temperature, is a voltage that is positively correlated with temperature, so and Subtracting the voltage will give a voltage that is negatively correlated with temperature. .

[0126] PM2 copy To R4 branch (the width-to-length ratio of PM14 to PM2 is 1): ), a PTAT voltage is generated on R4 , Control the on and off of NM1 to achieve temperature judgment.

[0127] When the temperature of the LED device Over temperature threshold, It is not enough to turn on NM1, so the inverter output point E is low, point F is high, NM4 and PM6 are turned on, NM5 and PM7 are turned off. The output value is .

[0128] When the over-temperature threshold LED device temperature When the temperature exceeds the threshold, Greater than the threshold voltage of NM1 , NM1 is turned on, so the inverter output point E is high, point F is low, NM4 and PM6 are turned off, NM5 and PM7 are turned on, at this time The output value is .

[0129] In the over-temperature hysteresis shutdown module 300, when the temperature of the LED device When the temperature exceeds the threshold, NM7, which acts as a switch tube, is turned on, causing the module to output a high level and stop the subsequent circuits from working.

[0130] PM8 and PM9 form two pairs of current mirrors with PM14 in the positive temperature coefficient current module 100. To the branch formed by R5 and R6 in series (the width-to-length ratio of PM14 to PM8 is 1: ), generates a PTAT voltage, which controls the on and off of NM7 to achieve temperature judgment. To the branch where NM7 is located (the width-to-length ratio of PM14 to PM9 is 1): ), provides bias current for this branch.

[0131] PM10 and NM8, PM11 and NM9, PM12 and NM10 form three inverters respectively, and NM7 is the switch tube control The output level is high. NM6 implements hysteresis shutdown function to prevent the circuit from thermal oscillation at the shutdown point. The specific working principle is as follows:

[0132] When the temperature of the LED device Overtemperature threshold When the LED driver circuit works normally, Output low level, NM6 is turned on, R6 is short-circuited, then:

[0133] (9)

[0134] When the temperature of the LED device rises to just equal hour, Greater than the threshold voltage of NM7 Make NM7 conduction, Output high level to stop the LED drive circuit and turn off NM6.

[0135] Right now:

[0136] (10)

[0137] Will Substituting expression (6) into equation (10) yields:

[0138] (11)

[0139] make = After finishing, we can get:

[0140] (12)

[0141] LED device temperature Overtemperature threshold When NM6 is turned off, the gate voltage of NM7 is 5 and 6 provides, at this time there are:

[0142] (13)

[0143] The temperature of the LED device drops to the over-temperature threshold The following makes the circuit start working normally again, Required to be less than the threshold voltage of NM7 Turn off NM7, and according to the equation, we can get:

[0144] (14)

[0145] That is, the maximum temperature in the temperature hysteresis range is , the minimum temperature is , by changing 5 and The value of 6 can adjust the size of the hysteresis interval. For example, if the over-temperature threshold is set to 125℃ and the over-temperature threshold (i.e. the restart working temperature) is set to 75℃, then =125℃, =75℃, which can be calculated from equations (12) and (14): 5 and The resistance value of 6.

[0146] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present application also provides an LED driving system, which includes an LED device, an LED driving circuit, and the over-temperature protection circuit 10 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0147] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides an over-temperature protection circuit and an LED driving system. The over-temperature protection circuit includes: a positive temperature coefficient current module, an over-temperature adaptive module and an over-temperature hysteresis shutdown module. Among them, the positive temperature coefficient current module is used to provide a positive temperature coefficient current to the over-temperature adaptive module and the over-temperature hysteresis shutdown module. When the temperature of the LED device When the over-temperature threshold is reached, the over-temperature adaptive module outputs a reference voltage to the LED drive circuit. LED device temperature To prevent the LED from suddenly shutting off due to overheating, the overtemperature adaptive module outputs a negative temperature coefficient voltage to the LED driver circuit, which decreases as the temperature rises. As the temperature rises, the LED's luminous intensity decreases. This protects the LED while preventing it from shutting off immediately, improving driving safety.

[0148] When the temperature of the LED device When the temperature exceeds the threshold, the over-temperature hysteresis shutdown module outputs a shutdown voltage to the LED driver circuit to stop the LED driver circuit from working until the temperature of the LED device drops below the over-temperature threshold, which improves the service life and safety factor of the LED device.

[0149] Compared with the prior art, the voltage value of the driving voltage output by the over-temperature adaptive module in this application depends on the temperature of the LED device. When the temperature is over the threshold, the driving voltage is a constant reference voltage. LED device temperature When the temperature exceeds the threshold, the driving voltage is a negative temperature coefficient voltage whose value decreases as the temperature rises, thereby avoiding the sudden shutdown of the LED due to overheating and improving driving safety. When the temperature exceeds the threshold, the over-temperature hysteresis shutdown module outputs a high-level shutdown voltage to protect the LED device.
