Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of LED power supplies, in particular to an LED dimming application circuit of a linear constant current chip. Background Art
[0002] LED dimming application technology, some occasions have relatively high requirements for color temperature during dimming or color adjustment. This requires the development of corresponding LED driver power supplies based on the color temperature properties of LED lamp beads. The currently commonly used solution is to use an AC / DC constant voltage output power supply in the first stage and a linear constant current chip for PWM dimming in the second stage. The linear constant current chip always keeps the current of the LED lamp beads unchanged during the PWM dimming process, ensuring the stability of the color temperature of the LED lamp beads while dimming. When the voltage difference between the two ends of the linear constant current chip is greater than a certain value, the current flowing through the chip is guaranteed to remain constant. However, the loss of the chip will also increase with the increase of the voltage difference, so there will be the following two problems:
[0003] 1. The output voltage of the first-stage AC / DC constant voltage output power supply has an error range. When the output voltage is at the upper limit of the error range, the loss of the linear constant current chip will increase, resulting in increased chip heating and reduced driving efficiency.
[0004] 2. The voltage of the LED lamp bead will have an error range. When the lamp bead voltage is at the lower limit of the error range, the loss of the linear constant current chip will increase, causing the chip to heat up and the driving efficiency to decrease. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] Preferably, the main control unit U2 is a linear constant current chip.
[0021] In this embodiment, the switch tube Q1 , the switch tube Q2 , and the switch tube Q3 are triodes or MOS tubes.
[0022] In this embodiment, a resistor R7 and a diode D1 are sequentially provided between the main control unit U3 and the switch tube Q3. Preferably, the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 are triodes, and Q3 is a MOS tube.
[0023] In this embodiment, a conducting end of the switch tube Q2 is grounded via a resistor R8 and a capacitor C2 , and the other end of the conducting end is connected to a resistor R5 .
[0024] In this embodiment, one end of the conduction end of the switch tube Q2 is grounded via the resistor R9 and the resistor R10 , and the other end of the conduction end is connected to the resistor R4 .
[0025] In this embodiment, the other end of the reference unit U2 is connected to the LED driving voltage via the capacitor C1 , the resistor R6 , and the resistor R3 in sequence.
[0026] In this embodiment, in some embodiments, the anode of the light-emitting end of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the LED driving voltage through a resistor R1 , and a resistor R2 is connected between the anode and the cathode.
[0027] LED+ is the positive terminal voltage of the LED lamp bead. When the linear chip is turned on, the voltage of LED- to ground is the conductive voltage of the chip; LED- is the negative terminal voltage of the LED lamp bead. LED- is connected to pin 1 of Q2 (point A) through R7, D1, Q3, R8 and C2. Point A is the sampling reference point of LED-; Q2 is connected to pin 1 of U2 (point B) through R5, Q1, R4, R10 and R9. Point B is the sampling reference point of LED+ and serves as the sampling voltage reference of LED-; U2 is connected to U1 through R3, R6, R1, R2 and C1. The FB signal of U1 is connected to the AC / DC The feedback control pin of the power supply can adjust the voltage of LED+ to increase or decrease; PWM is the dimming control signal. When PWM is high, the linear chip U3 is turned on, and current flows through the LED lamp bead. At the same time, Q3 is controlled to be turned on and the voltage value of LED-end is sampled. Because the reference voltage at point A always remains unchanged, when the sampled value of the LED-end voltage is higher or lower than the voltage value at point A, a feedback signal will eventually be generated at point FB to the AC / DC control chip. The control chip adjusts the voltage of LED+ end according to this signal, so that the voltage of LED-end (both ends of U3) remains constant.
