[0011] The following is a further description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0012] Example 1
[0013] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model.
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a circuit using an iW3677 chip to expand an input voltage operating range includes: an iW3677 driver chip 100, an R5 resistor 200, and a C4 capacitor 300, wherein the iW3677 driver chip 100 includes: a first pin 110, a second pin 120, a third pin 130, a fourth pin 140, a fifth pin 150, a sixth pin 160, a seventh pin 170, and a 15kohm internal resistor 180, and the first pin 110, the third pin 130, the fourth pin 140, the fifth pin 150, the sixth pin 160, and the seventh pin 170 are connected to the iW3677 driver chip The iW3677 driver chip 100 is externally connected, the second pin 120 on the iW3677 driver chip 100 is connected to the R5 resistor 200 and the C4 capacitor 300, the other end of the R5 resistor 200 is connected to the DC power supply 400 after the input AC voltage is rectified, the other end of the C4 capacitor 300 is connected to the ground point, and a 15kohm internal resistor 180 is arranged inside the iW3677 driver chip 100, one end of the second pin 120 is internally connected to the 15kohm internal resistor 180, and the other end of the second pin 120 is externally connected to the R5 resistor 200 and the C4 capacitor 300, and the 15kohm internal resistor 180 is connected to the ground point.
[0015] The principle of the utility model is: through the voltage division sampling of the 15kohm internal resistor 180 and the R5 resistor 200, the iW3677 driver chip 100 senses the rectified DC voltage value through the second pin 120 of the iW3677 driver chip 100, and also senses the input AC voltage value. The C4 capacitor 300 plays a filtering role in stabilizing the adopted signal.
[0016] The level of the second pin 120 = the rectified DC voltage value * 15kohm internal resistor 180 / (15kohm internal resistor 180+R5 resistor 200). As long as the level of the second pin 120 is greater than 0.41v and less than 1.5v, from the perspective of AC (input) voltage detection, the iW3677 driver chip 100 enters the working state.
[0017] The 15kohm internal resistor 180 is connected between the second pin 120 of the iW3677 driver chip 100 and the ground GND. The recommended value of the external voltage divider R5 resistor 200 is 4MΩ (90-265VAC) with a voltage divider ratio of 0.00373. The voltage level of the second pin 120 is from 0.4754 to 1.3999V, which verifies that it is indeed within the range of 0.41 to 1.5V.
[0018] The recommended value of the external voltage divider R5 resistor 200 is 4.4MΩ (90~305VAC). The voltage divider ratio is equal to 0.00339. The level of the second pin 120 is from 0.4324~1.4652V, which is indeed within the range of 0.41~1.5V.
[0019] The voltage divider ratio is calculated as 15kohm internal resistor 180 / (15kohm internal resistor 180+R5 resistor 200), and the rectified DC voltage value = input AC power supply * 1.414. In order to make the level of the second pin 120 not exceed 1.5v at a higher input voltage, we try to make the level of the second pin 120 as low as possible at the lowest input voltage 108V, taking 0.415V, slightly higher than the lower limit 4.1V that the iW3677 driver chip 100 can turn on, through: the level of the second pin = voltage divider ratio * rectified DC voltage; rectified DC voltage = input AC voltage * 1.414; calculate the voltage divider ratio, voltage divider ratio = 15kohm internal resistor 180 / (15kohm internal resistor 180+R5 resistor 200), calculate R5 resistor 200. The utility model has been verified on the basis of calculations on multiple models using the iW3677 chip, and the values obtained by using the circuit can expand the input voltage range of these models from 90-305V to 108-382V, so that the input range of these products can cover the global market.
[0020] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention can also have various changes without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
