Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of light strips, in particular to a double-pin constant current IC. Background Art

[0002] Currently, constant-current ICs use built-in current regulation to ensure constant output current when the LED strip varies with voltage or load. This effectively prevents flickering or intermittent brightness caused by voltage fluctuations. Constant-current ICs also limit the maximum current, preventing excessive heating caused by overcurrent in the LED strip.

[0003] In related technologies, commonly used constant current ICs are usually 3-pin and 5-pin, such as power input pin, ground pin, feedback pin, enable pin, etc. Such constant current ICs not only require more complex peripheral circuits, but also the internal circuits of constant current ICs are relatively complex. 3-pin and 5-pin constant current ICs are large in size and difficult to adapt to compact scenes such as ultra-thin lamps and flexible light strips. In high-density LED light strips, there is a problem of multi-pin signal crosstalk. The current fluctuations caused by signal crosstalk affect the uniformity of the light effect of the light strip. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a two-pin constant current IC to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a two-pin constant current IC, comprising a voltage generator, wherein the voltage generator has a low voltage power supply LVDD pin, a positive voltage VBP pin, a negative power supply VSS pin, and a voltage output VGEN pin;

[0006] A power generator, the power generator having a power interface PAD1 pin, a negative power supply VSS pin, a low voltage power supply LVDD pin, and a negative voltage VBN pin, wherein the power interface PAD1 pin is electrically connected to a first pad;

[0007] an amplifier electrically connected to the voltage generator and the power generator;

[0008] MOS transistors, wherein the MOS transistors are provided in a plurality of groups, and the plurality of groups of MOS transistors are electrically connected to the power interface PAD1 pin and the output pin OUT of the amplifier. The MOS transistors are electrically connected to the first pad, and the right MOS transistor is electrically connected to the first resistor R. The plurality of groups of MOS transistors adjust current through their own switches;

[0009] The negative input IN_P pin of the amplifier is electrically connected to the first resistor R, the negative power supply VSS pin of the voltage generator and the power interface PAD1 pin and the negative power supply VSS pin of the power generator are electrically connected to a second pad, and the first resistor R is electrically connected to the second pad;

[0010] The circuit structure of the two-pin constant current IC is simplified. The current is adjusted by the MOS tube switch, and the amplifier and resistor form a feedback loop. This design provides a basis for constant current control and wide voltage resistance, adapts to the driving requirements of the light strip load, and takes into account both functional integrity and application convenience.

[0011] Furthermore, the MOS tubes are arranged in five groups, and the five groups of MOS tubes are connected in parallel to the first pad and the output OUT pin of the amplifier. The overall current carrying capacity can be increased by shunting, meeting the wide range current output requirements of 3 to 120 mA. The parallel structure can reduce the power consumption and heat generation of a single MOS tube, and improve the working stability and service life of the circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, a second resistor is electrically connected between the negative input IN_P pin of the amplifier and the first resistor R, which reduces the current fluctuation of the light strip load, improves the uniformity of the lighting effect, and adapts to the current requirements of loads of different specifications, thereby enhancing the versatility of the two-pin constant current IC.

[0013] Furthermore, the positive input IN_P pin, voltage adjustment pin VP, and positive voltage VBP pin of the amplifier are correspondingly connected to the voltage generator to ensure that the amplifier obtains a stable reference voltage and bias signal, ensures that the amplifier operates in the optimal linear amplification state, reduces the current control error caused by voltage fluctuations, improves the stability of the constant current performance, and provides a continuous and stable driving current for the light strip.

[0014] Furthermore, the voltage adjustment pin VP and the negative voltage VBN pin of the amplifier are correspondingly connected to the power generator, meeting the working requirements of the amplifier within a wide voltage range of 3 to 50V, optimizing the power consumption and output capacity of the amplifier, ensuring that it can stably drive the load under different input voltages, and enhancing the voltage adaptability of the dual-pin constant current IC.

[0015] Furthermore, the negative power supply VSS pin of the amplifier is electrically connected to the second pad to ensure that the ground potential of the amplifier is consistent with the ground potential of the load circuit, thereby avoiding interference signals generated due to the potential difference between the two grounds and affecting the current control accuracy.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) The two-pin constant current IC integrates the voltage generator, power generator, amplifier, MOS tube, and other functions into one, reducing the power supply, feedback, drive and other functions to two pins, simplifying the PCB layout and the complexity of the peripheral circuit. The two pins avoid the problem of multi-pin signal crosstalk. In high-density LED arrays, it reduces the current fluctuation caused by signal crosstalk and ensures the uniformity of light effect.

[0018] (2) The two-pin constant current IC package is smaller in size and is suitable for compact scenes such as ultra-thin lamps and flexible light strips. The reduction in pins directly reduces the risk of cold soldering and poor contact, meeting the demand for miniaturization of light strips. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
