The role of the drawings is to supplement the description in the text part of the specification, enabling people to intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model.

Understandings such as "greater than", "less than", and "exceeding" do not include the present number, and understandings such as "above", "below", and "within" include the present number.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 2 , an LED dimming power supply includes an EMI filtering circuit 10, an AC-DC circuit 20, a dimming control circuit 30, a main control circuit 40, a dimming signal circuit 50, and a power-down protection circuit 60;

[0024] The EMI filtering circuit 10 is connected between an external power supply and the AC-DC circuit 20;

[0025] The dimming control circuit 30 is connected between the AC-DC circuit 20 and a lamp 70;

[0026] The control module is connected between the AC-DC circuit 20, the dimming control circuit 30, and the dimming signal circuit 50;

[0027] One end of a resistor R1 and one end of a resistor R2 are connected between the AC-DC circuit 20 and the main control circuit 40 to generate a voltage signal V1 and a voltage signal V2 respectively; the collector of a triode D2 is connected to the main control circuit 40 to generate a voltage signal Power Down.

[0028] Among them, the power-down save circuit includes resistors R1-4 and transistors Q1-2. One end of resistor R1 is connected to voltage signal V1, and one end of resistor R2 is connected to voltage signal V2. The other end of resistor R1 is connected to the base of transistor Q1, and the other end of resistor R2 is connected to the emitter of transistor Q1. The collector of transistor Q1 is connected to the base of transistor Q2 via resistor R4. The collector of transistor Q2 is connected to the VCC terminal via resistor R3 and outputs voltage signal Power Down. Voltage signal Power Down is connected to the main control circuit 40, and the emitter of transistor Q2 is connected to the GND terminal. When voltage signal V1 > voltage signal V2, voltage signal Power Down does not enable the main control circuit 40. When voltage signal V1 < voltage signal V2, voltage signal Power Down enables the main control circuit 40 to execute saving the current data and the current dimming signal.

[0029] Specifically, when the power is turned on, the AC alternating current passes through the EMI filter circuit 10 and is rectified into direct current by the rectifier bridge. When the AC-DC circuit 20 operates stably, due to the voltage outer loop feedback and the fixed turn ratio of the transformer, stable voltages V+ and VCC are output respectively. V+ is supplied to the dimming control circuit 30 and then connected to the lamp LED, and VCC is supplied to the main control module 40. The main control module 40 includes a single-chip microcomputer and other auxiliary circuits. The dimming signal circuit 50 outputs the DIM signal to the single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer then outputs PWM to the dimming control circuit 30. At this time, the lamp LED is lit.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 , in one embodiment, an LED dimming power supply further includes a diode D1 and a capacitor C1. The anode of diode D1 is respectively connected to the AC-DC circuit 20 and one end of resistor R1. The cathode of diode D1 is respectively connected to the VCC terminal, one end of capacitor C1, and the main control circuit 40. The other end of capacitor C1 is respectively connected to the AC-DC circuit 20, the main control circuit 40, and the GND terminal.

[0031] When the power supply is working normally: When the AC-DC circuit 20 operates stably, capacitor C1 obtains a stable voltage of VCC. Due to the forward conduction voltage drop of diode D1, voltage signal V1 is greater than voltage signal V2. Voltage signal V1 passes through resistor R1 to the base of transistor Q1, and voltage signal V2 passes through resistor R2 to the emitter of transistor Q1. That is, the base voltage of transistor Q1 is greater than the emitter voltage of transistor Q1, so transistor Q1 is not turned on, no current flows through resistor R4, transistor Q2 is not turned on, and after VCC passes through resistor R3, voltage signal PowerDown is high and enters the single-chip microcomputer. At this time, the single-chip microcomputer does not perform any operation. Therefore, when the power supply is working normally, the power-down save circuit does not work, will not affect other signals, and there is no loss.

[0032] When the power supply is cut off: At this time, the voltage signal V1 drops rapidly. Since the voltage signal V2 is supported by the capacitance of the capacitor C1, the voltage signal V2 drops slowly. The higher the capacitance of the capacitor C1, the slower the voltage signal V2 drops. Therefore, when the power supply is cut off, since the voltage signal V2 is greater than the voltage signal V1, the voltage signal V1 passes through the resistor R1 to the base of the triode Q1, and the voltage signal V2 passes through the resistor R2 to the emitter of the triode Q1. That is, the emitter voltage of the triode Q1 is greater than the base voltage of the triode Q1, so the triode Q1 conducts. Then it passes through the collector of the triode Q1 and then through the resistor R4 to enter the base of the triode Q2, and the triode Q2 conducts, and the voltage signal PowerDown is pulled low. When the single-chip microcomputer detects that the voltage signal PowerDown is low, it immediately executes to save the current data and the current dimming signal, and then turns off the relevant signals according to the timing.

[0033] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: Through the above structure, fast response and zero loss of power-down preservation can be achieved, which is convenient and simple. Its circuit connection is simple, the number of components is small, the cost is low, the performance is stable, and the space is saved, which is more conducive to the miniaturization of the product.

[0034] In one embodiment, the triode Q1 is a PNP triode, and the triode Q2 is an NPN triode.

[0035] As the first embodiment of the dimming control circuit 30, the dimming control circuit 30 is set as a chopper circuit.

[0036] As the second embodiment of the dimming control circuit 30, the dimming control circuit 30 is set as a DC-DC circuit.

[0037] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent deformations or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent deformations and substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
