Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of light source dimming technology, and in particular to a digital dimming and color tuning circuit. Background Technology
[0002] A dimming circuit is a power supply that can adjust its output voltage and current. By controlling the parameters of components in the circuit, the output power of the power supply can be regulated. Dimmable power supplies are widely used in the lighting industry. Their principle is to adjust the brightness of the light source by controlling the output voltage and current of the power supply. The user sends a control command through the dimmer, which converts the command into a digital signal. Then, the power module adjusts the current, voltage, and other parameters of the lamp according to the signal command, thereby controlling the brightness, color temperature, and other parameters of the lamp.
[0003] Traditional dimming circuits, with their feedback regulation of current and voltage, cannot adapt to the high-frequency switching of circuits, leading to dimming failures. This type of dimming and color-tuning circuit based on switching signals is a type of digital dimming and color-tuning circuit. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a digital dimming and color-tuning circuit to address the common dimming failures in traditional dimming circuits. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a digital dimming and color tuning circuit to address the shortcomings of traditional dimming circuits, which are prone to dimming failure.

The current-limiting circuit limits and reduces the voltage of the received energy, ensuring stable power supply to subsequent circuits. LED beads are electrically connected to the DC power supply, which in turn is connected to the current-limiting circuit, ensuring stable power supply to the LED beads. A peak suppression feedback circuit, while ensuring the LED beads have a path, uses its inductance and resistance to suppress peak power. This peak suppression feedback circuit is electrically connected to a switching circuit and a dimming comparator circuit, forming a signal feedback that acts on the dimming comparator circuit, enabling the dimming comparator circuit to control the switching circuit's on / off state. The switching circuit uses this action signal to achieve dimming.

[0035] The dimming comparator circuit 500 is electrically connected to the switching circuit 400, the dimming comparator circuit 500 is electrically connected to the peak suppression feedback circuit 300, and the dimming comparator circuit 500 is electrically connected to the rectangular wave empty ratio adjustment chip b.
[0036] This embodiment relates to a digital dimming and color-tuning circuit. A current-limiting circuit 100, electrically connected to a DC power supply a, receives electrical energy from the DC power supply a. The current-limiting circuit 100 limits and reduces the voltage of the received energy, ensuring stable power supply to subsequent circuits. LED beads are electrically connected to the DC power supply a, and the DC power supply a is electrically connected to the current-limiting circuit 100, ensuring stable power supply to the LED beads. A peak suppression feedback circuit 300, while ensuring the LED beads' path, uses its inductor 310 and resistor to suppress peak loads. The peak suppression feedback circuit 300, while suppressing peak loads, is electrically connected to a switching circuit 400 and a dimming comparator circuit 500. The peak suppression feedback circuit 300 generates a signal feedback, which acts on the dimming comparator circuit 500, enabling the dimming comparator circuit 500 to control the switching signal of the switching circuit 400. The switching circuit 400 uses the action signal to achieve dimming. Digital dimming and color tuning circuits can provide feedback, adjust, and adapt to the on / off states of high-frequency circuits, thereby achieving effective dimming.
[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the current limiting circuit 100 includes a first current limiting resistor 110, a second current limiting resistor 120, a first NPN transistor 130, and a second NPN transistor 140.

[0038] Specifically, based on the first current-limiting resistor 110, the DC power supply a uses the voltage reduction effect of the first current-limiting resistor 110 to input an electrical signal to the collector of the first NPN transistor 130. After receiving the electrical signal, the first NPN transistor 130 turns on, and uses the circuit channel opened by the first NPN transistor 130 to perform a current-draining operation on the excessive current of the DC power supply a.
[0039] The excessive leakage current flows through the second current-limiting resistor 120 to form a shunt current signal, so that the second NPN transistor 140 receives the electrical signal. At this time, the second NPN transistor 140 is turned on, and the excessive current can turn on the main circuit of the LED bead.
