[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, it is a circuit diagram of an LED short-circuit protection circuit in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The LED short-circuit protection circuit shown includes an LED string LED1, a power transistor (MetalOxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, MOSFET) Q1, a short-circuit detection unit 110, and a short-circuit protection unit 120.
[0020] In this configuration, the input terminal (or positive terminal) of LED1 in the LED string is connected to the first power supply Vbat; the first connection terminal of power transistor Q1 is connected to the output terminal (or negative terminal) of LED1 in the LED string, and its second connection terminal is grounded. Its control terminal receives a PWM drive signal, which is used to drive power transistor Q1 to periodically turn on and off. The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) drive signal is a periodic high and low level square wave signal. By changing the duty cycle of the PWM drive signal, power transistor Q1 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the brightness of LED1 in the LED string.
[0021] The short-circuit detection unit 110 includes a first detection end A, a second detection end B and a detection output end C. The first detection end A is connected to the output end (or negative electrode) of the LED lamp string LED1, and the second detection end B receives the PWM driving signal. The short-circuit detection unit 110 detects whether the LED lamp string LED1 is short-circuited based on the voltage of the output end (or negative electrode) of the LED lamp string LED1 and the PWM driving signal, and outputs a detection signal indicating whether the LED lamp string LED1 is short-circuited through the detection output end C.
[0022] The input end of the short-circuit protection unit 120 is connected to the detection output end C, and the output end D is connected to the control end of the power tube Q1. When the short-circuit detection unit 110 detects that the LED lamp string LED1 is in a short-circuit state, the short-circuit protection unit 120 drives the power tube Q1 to be turned off through the output end D, so as to protect the power tube Q1 from being damaged due to overheating.
[0023] Figure 1 The LED short-circuit protection circuit shown also includes a resistor R1. One end of the resistor R1 is connected to the PWM driving signal, and the other end is connected to the control end of the power tube Q1. In other words, the PWM driving signal, the resistor R1, the power tube Q1, the LED lamp string LED1 and the first power supply Vbat constitute a main power loop of the Mosfet. In normal times, this loop realizes the dimming function of the LED.
[0024] The short-circuit detection unit 110 includes a diode D1, a diode D2, a resistor R3, a resistor R4, a resistor R5, a resistor R6, a resistor R9, a switching device Q2 and a switching device Q3. The negative electrode of the diode D1 is connected to the first detection end A of the short-circuit detection unit 110, and the positive electrode is connected to a node E. The negative electrode of the diode D2 is connected to the second detection end B of the short-circuit detection unit 110, and the positive electrode is connected to the node E. One end of the resistor R3 is connected to the second detection end B of the short-circuit detection unit 110, and the other end is grounded. One end of the resistor R4 is connected to the second power supply VCC, and the other end is connected to the node E. The first connection end of the switching device Q2 is connected to the second power supply VCC, and the second connection end is connected to the detection output end C. The control end of the switching device Q2 is connected to the first connection end of the switching device Q3 through the resistor R6. One end of the resistor R5 is connected to the first connection end of the switching device Q2, and the other end is connected to the first connection end of the switching device Q3. The control end of the switching device Q3 is connected to the node E, and the second connection end is grounded.
[0025] When the short-circuit detection unit 110 detects that the PWM drive signal is at the first logic level and the voltage at the output terminal (or negative terminal) of the LED string LED1 is high, switching devices Q2 and Q3 are turned on. The detection output terminal C of the short-circuit detection unit 110 outputs a detection signal at the first logic level, indicating that the LED string LED1 is in a short-circuit state, thereby enabling the short-circuit protection unit 120 to operate and control the power transistor Q1 to turn off. Otherwise, switching devices Q2 and Q3 are turned off, and the detection output terminal C of the short-circuit detection unit 110 outputs a detection signal at the second logic level, indicating that the LED string LED1 is in a non-short-circuit state, thereby enabling the short-circuit protection unit 120 to not operate. The first logic level of the PWM drive signal is used to drive the power transistor Q1 to turn on; the second logic level of the PWM drive signal is used to drive the power transistor Q1 to turn off.
[0026] The short-circuit protection unit 120 includes resistors R2, R7, R8, and R10, diode D3, and switching device Q4. One end of resistor R2 is connected to the output terminal D of the short-circuit protection unit 120, and the other end is connected to node F. The first connection terminal of switching device Q4 is connected to node F, its second connection terminal is grounded, and its control terminal is grounded via resistor R10. One end of resistor R7 is connected to the detection output terminal C of the short-circuit detection unit 110, and the other end is connected to the control terminal of switching device Q4. The anode of diode D3 is connected to the detection output terminal C of the short-circuit detection unit 110, and its cathode is connected to node F via resistor R8.
[0027] When the detection signal output from the detection output terminal C of the short-circuit detection unit 110 is at the second logic level (indicating that the LED string LED1 is in a non-short-circuit state), the switching device Q4 is turned off, and the short-circuit protection unit 120 does not work; when the detection signal output from the detection output terminal C of the short-circuit detection unit 110 is at the first logic level (indicating that the LED string LED1 is in a short-circuit state), the switching device Q4 is turned on, and the short-circuit protection unit 120 drives the power transistor Q1 to turn off through its output terminal D.
[0028] exist Figure 1 In the specific embodiment shown, power transistor Q1 is an NMOS transistor, and its first connection terminal, second connection terminal, and control terminal are the drain, source, and gate of the NMOS transistor, respectively; switching device Q2 is a PNP transistor, and its first connection terminal, second connection terminal, and control terminal are the emitter, collector, and base of the PNP transistor, respectively; switching device Q3 is an NPN transistor, and its first connection terminal, second connection terminal, and control terminal are the collector, emitter, and base of the NPN transistor, respectively; switching device Q4 is an NPN transistor, and its first connection terminal, second connection terminal, and control terminal are the collector, emitter, and base of the NPN transistor, respectively.
[0029] The resistance values of the resistance R7 and the resistance R10 are selected to satisfy: when the switch device Q2 and the switch device Q3 are turned on, the voltage value of the voltage division on the resistance R10 is greater than the turn-on voltage threshold of the switch device Q4, so that the switch device Q4 is in the turn-on state.
[0030] The working principle of the LED short circuit protection circuit is specifically introduced as follows. Figure 1 The working principle of the LED short circuit protection circuit is specifically introduced as follows.
[0031] 1. When the system is in normal operation (or the LED lamp string LED1 is not in short circuit), the PWM drive signal drives the power tube Q1 to be turned on and turned off continuously, so that the brightness of the LED lamp string LED1 can be adjusted according to the different duty cycle.
[0032] 2. When the system is in normal operation (or the LED lamp string LED1 is not in short circuit), when the PWM drive signal is high (which can be referred to as the first logic level of the PWM drive signal), the power tube Q1 is an NMOS tube, the power tube Q1 is turned on, and the drain of the power tube Q1 is pulled down to 0V. Due to the clamping effect of the diode D1, the base voltage of the switch device Q3 is clamped to about 0.3V. Due to the unidirectional conductivity of the diode D2 and the clamping effect of the diode D1, even if the PWM drive signal is high, the base voltage of the switch device Q3 will not be affected. Because the switch device Q3 is an NPN transistor, and the base voltage of the switch device Q3 is about 0.3V, the switch device Q3 is in the off state (i.e., the switch device Q3 is turned off). The switch device Q2 is a PNP transistor, the switch device Q3 is in the off state, and the emitter and base levels of the switch device Q2 are consistent, so the switch device Q2 is also in the off state (i.e., the switch device Q2 is turned off). The voltage on the resistance R9 is not affected by the second power supply VCC and the switch device Q2, and the resistance R9 is pulled down to GND, that is, the detection output end C of the short circuit detection unit 110 outputs a low level (which can be referred to as the second logic level of the detection signal, indicating that the LED lamp string LED1 is in a non-short circuit state), so the base of the switch device Q4 is also low. Since the switch device Q4 is an NPN transistor, the switch device Q4 is in the off state (i.e., the switch device Q4 is turned off). Due to the unidirectional conductivity of the diode D3, the short circuit protection unit 120 will not affect the driving control of the power tube Q1 by the PWM drive signal. When the PWM drive signal is low (which can be referred to as the second logic level of the PWM drive signal), the power tube Q1 is in the off state, the cathode of the diode D2 is low, and the base of the switch device Q3 is also clamped to 0.3V by the diode D2. Like when the PWM drive signal is high, the short circuit detection unit 110 and the short circuit protection unit 120 will not affect the driving control of the power tube Q1 by the PWM drive signal.
[0033] 3. When the LED string LED1 appears short circuit, before the LED string LED1 appears short circuit, when the PWM drive signal is high level, the negative pole of the diode D2 is high level, the negative pole of the diode D1 is pulled to 0V, the base of the switching device Q3 is clamped to 0.3V by the diode, so the switching device Q3 will not be turned on, the short circuit detection unit 110 and the short circuit protection unit 120 will not work. When the LED string LED1 suddenly appears short circuit, the output end (or the negative pole) of the LED string LED1 will be high level, so the negative poles of the diodes D1 and D2 are high level, the base of the switching device Q3 will be saturated and turned on through the loop of the resistance R4 and the second power supply VCC, the collector of the switching device Q3 will be pulled to 0V, the switching device Q2 is a PNP triode, the switching device Q2 will also be turned on, so the collector of the switching device Q2 is also the voltage of the second power supply VCC, so that the voltage on the resistance R9 is also high level, that is, the detection output end C of the short circuit detection unit 110 outputs high level (which can be called the first logic level of the detection signal, indicating that the LED string LED1 is in a short circuit state), through the voltage division of the resistances R7 and R10, the voltage value of the voltage division on the resistance R10 (which is equal to the voltage between the base and the emitter of the NPN triode Q4) is greater than the turn-on voltage threshold of the NPN triode Q4 (or the PN junction voltage of the NPN triode Q4), which meets the saturation turn-on condition, the switching device Q4 is turned on, the collector of the switching device Q4 is pulled to 0V, the gate of the power tube Q1 is clamped to 0V by the switching device Q4, the power tube Q1 is an NMOS tube, when the gate of the power tube Q1 is at 0V, the power tube Q1 will be turned off, so as to achieve the function of detecting the LED short circuit state and triggering the LED short circuit protection.
[0034] In summary, the LED short circuit protection circuit has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] 1. The LED short circuit protection circuit is built by discrete devices, and the circuit is simple and reliable, which determines whether the LED is in a short circuit state by detecting the negative pole voltage of the LED, and if the LED is in a short circuit state, the short circuit protection of the LED will be triggered.
[0036] 2. The LED short circuit protection circuit does not need to detect the short circuit of the LED through a shunt resistor, which reduces the cost, reduces the heat generation of the shunt resistor and improves the efficiency of the product.
[0037] It should be pointed out that any modification made by the skilled person to the specific embodiments of the utility model does not deviate from the scope of the claims of the utility model. Correspondingly, the scope of the claims of the utility model is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments.
