[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] This application provides an integrated luminaire driver, such as Figure 1 As shown, the integrated lamp driver includes, from bottom to top, a heat sink, a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), a shield, a plastic cover, and a sealing ring, all stacked together and secured with screws. The integrated lamp driver circuitry is mounted on the PCBA. The integrated lamp driver is located at the front of the vehicle to drive and control the combined front lighting fixtures.
[0029] The heat sink is made of aluminum to facilitate heat dissipation for the power-generating components on the PCBA. Components are mounted on the PCBA to form an integrated lighting driver circuit. The shielding cover is made of metal to shield interference signals and improve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. The plastic cover serves as the mounting structure for the integrated lighting driver, and the sealing ring completes the sealing of the integrated lighting driver.
[0030] A cavity is provided on the heat sink, and the printed circuit board is fixedly installed in the cavity. The shielding cover and plastic cover are stacked on the side of the printed circuit board away from the heat sink. The sealing ring is fitted around the shielding cover, plastic cover, and the heat sink. Screws serve as fasteners for the heat sink, PCBA, shielding cover, and plastic cover; that is, the four corners of the heat sink, PCBA, shielding cover, and plastic cover are fixed together by screws.
[0031] The connection of the integrated lighting driver circuit provided in this application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the output of the integrated lighting driver circuit 20 is connected to the vehicle front lighting fixture 10 located at the front of the vehicle. The vehicle front lighting fixture 10 includes various light-emitting diode (LED) panels, such as low beam LED panels, high beam LED panels, daytime running light / position light LED panels, turn signal LED panels, and pixelated projection panels. The pixelated projection panel can be a micro light-emitting diode (MicroLed) panel (e.g., Figure 2 Alternatively, it could be a digital light processing system (DLP), etc., without limitation. The vehicle front light fixture 10 may also include loads such as a stepper motor and a fan. The input terminal of the integrated light fixture driver circuit 20 is connected to the vehicle power supply and also to the hierarchical domain controller 30, receiving drive control signals and enable control signals Com_EN from the hierarchical domain controller 30. It should be noted that the connection between the two components can be indirect, with other components placed in between.
[0032] The vehicle power supply provides power to the integrated lighting driver circuit 20. The hierarchical domain controller 30 includes a microcontroller unit (MCU), primarily used to control the lights and related loads in different areas of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the hierarchical domain controller 30 also generates corresponding control signals based on vehicle driving requirements to control the lights and related components located at the front of the vehicle. It should be noted that the control signals can be generated by the aforementioned MCU, or a separate MCU can be added within the hierarchical domain controller 30 to generate corresponding control signals based on vehicle driving requirements.
[0033] The integrated lighting driver circuit 20 receives control signals transmitted from the hierarchical domain controller 30 and performs voltage conversion on the input vehicle power signal according to the control signals, outputting a constant current power signal or a constant voltage power signal to drive each LED panel or pixelated projection panel. The integrated lighting driver circuit 20 can also drive stepper motors, fans, or other loads according to the control signals. Thus, the integrated lighting driver circuit 20 can directly control all functions of the vehicle's front lights based on the received control signals, eliminating the need for a dedicated MCU to generate control signals. This simplifies the system architecture, reduces the processing difficulty of multiple microcontroller units working together, saves development time, and lowers development costs.
[0034] The structure of the integrated lighting driver circuit provided in this application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the integrated lighting driver circuit 20 mainly includes: an LED driver control circuit 22 and a first step-down converter 23.
[0035] The LED driver control circuit 22 is connected to each LED light panel located at the front of the vehicle, and is used to convert the input vehicle power supply into a constant current power signal to drive each LED light panel according to the received control signal. The first buck converter 23 is connected to the pixelated projection light panel located at the front of the vehicle, and is used to convert the input vehicle power supply into a constant voltage power signal to drive the pixelated projection light panel according to the received control signal.
[0036] The first buck converter 23 can output two channels of constant voltage power supply signals (CV), for example... Figure 3 CVchannel 1 and CVchannel 2 provide constant voltage power to the pixel lights and signal lights. The power supply voltage of the constant voltage power signal is preferably 4~8V, and the single-channel output capacity is above 40W. The LED driver control circuit 22 and the first step-down converter 23 realize the drive control of all functions of the front lights without using an MCU, which reduces the processing difficulty of multi-MCU collaborative work, saves development time, and reduces development costs.
[0037] The vehicle power supply is the vehicle battery, which provides power to the integrated lighting driver circuit 20. The power input terminal of the integrated lighting driver circuit 20 can be equipped with surge protection, reverse polarity protection, and filtering circuits. The Hierarchical Domain Controller (HDC) 30 outputs control signals to the integrated lighting driver circuit 20. The HDC 30 contains a processing program for display control of the vehicle's front lights, housed in its microcontroller unit (MCU). Based on this program, the HDC 30 outputs control signals, and the integrated lighting driver circuit 20 directly controls the vehicle's front lights without requiring complex signal processing itself. The HDC 30 can drive individual LED panels and pixelated projection panels.
[0038] It should be noted that the hierarchical domain controller 30 can also be other lighting domain control systems. The hierarchical domain controller 30 uses UART on CAN communication for control. For integrated circuits (ICs) that only need to be turned off during sleep and do not require communication configuration, the enable signal Com_EN is used for enabling, which can reduce static power consumption and achieve energy saving.
[0039] The integrated lighting driver circuit of this application has no microcontroller unit, enabling software-free design. The LED driver control circuit 22 and the first step-down converter 23 drive each LED board and the pixelated projection board respectively according to the received control signals. This enables the driving control of all functions of the vehicle's front lights. The system architecture is simple, reducing the processing difficulty of multiple microcontroller units working together, saving development time and reducing development costs.
[0040] See also Figure 3 The control signals include a drive control signal and an enable control signal Com_EN. The drive control signal adopts the UART on CAN protocol. That is, the drive control signal is transmitted at the CAN physical layer, which can improve the EMC performance of data transmission. The enable control signal Com_EN is used to enable the LED drive control circuit 22 and the first buck converter 23. When the enable control signal Com_EN is valid, the LED drive control circuit 22 outputs a constant current power supply signal to drive each LED board according to the drive control signal. The first buck converter 23 outputs a constant voltage power supply signal to drive the pixelated projection lamp board according to the drive control signal.
[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the integrated lighting driver circuit further includes a transceiver 21 connected to the LED driver control circuit 22 and the first buck converter 23. The transceiver 21 receives the drive control signal at the level required for CAN physical layer transmission and transmits the drive control signal to the LED driver control circuit 22 and the first buck converter 23 at a Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) dual-transistor logic (TTL) level. The transceiver 21 is a CAN physical layer device, enabling the Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) of the integrated circuit (IC) to operate on the physical layer of the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, thereby improving the EMC performance of data transmission. The drive control signals are UART_CANH and UART_CANL. The transceiver 21 outputs the differential signal to the LED drive control circuit 22 and the first buck converter 23 based on the differential signal of the UART_CANH and UART_CANL signals to control the LED drive control circuit 22 and the first buck converter 23 to drive each LED board and the pixelated projection board.
[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the integrated lighting driver circuit 20 further includes a low dropout regulator (LDO) 24 connected to the transceiver 21, the LED driver control circuit 22, and the first buck converter 23. The LDO 24 is used to convert the vehicle power signal into a stable power signal according to the received enable control signal, and to provide stable power to the transceiver 21, the LED driver control circuit 22, and the first buck converter 23.
[0043] When the enable control signal is active, the low-dropout regulator 24 converts the vehicle power signal into a stable power signal. The low-dropout regulator 24 can output a stable 5V or 3.3V power signal. Thus, the low-dropout regulator 24 provides a stable 5V or 3.3V power supply to both the internal and external circuits of the integrated lamp driver, facilitating the driving of the vehicle's front lights by the various components within the integrated lamp driver circuit.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the integrated lighting driver circuit 20 further includes at least one stepper controller 25 connected to the transceiver 21 and the low-dropout regulator 24, for driving a stepper motor. The stepper controller 25 can output one or two channels of stepper motor drive signals to drive the stepper motor. For example... Figure 3 The motor drive signals output by the stepper controller include Stepper_A, Stepper_B, Stepper_C, and Stepper_D. In this embodiment, the stepper controller 25 provides drive control for the stepper motors used for leveling and steering adjustments. The number of stepper controllers 25 can be increased according to the number of stepper motors that need to be driven.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the LED driver control circuit 22 includes: at least one boost converter 221 connected to the vehicle power supply and multiple second buck converters 222 connected to the boost converter 221 and the transceiver 21. The second buck converters 222 are used to output constant current power to drive each of the LED panels. The boost converter 221 boosts the battery voltage to above 60V so that the second buck converters 222 connected at the rear end have sufficient driving capability to drive the subsequent LED panels. The second buck converters 222 are used to step down the constant voltage signal output by the boost converter 221, and can output multiple constant current power signals to provide constant current power to each functional LED panel, for example... Figure 3 The system includes three constant current power signals: CC channel 1, CC channel 2, and CC channel 3. The second buck converter 222 supports series connection of LEDs on the LED board and supports mounting a matrix management chip on the LED board, enabling individual LED switching and brightness control, and achieving dynamic effects such as matrix headlights (Adaptive Driving Beam, ADB), sequential turn signals, and welcome animations. One boost converter 221 can power up to three second buck converters 222. The number of second buck converters 222 can be adjusted according to the number of constant current power channels required to drive each LED board. For example, one boost converter 221 can connect to one, two, or three second buck converters 222, depending on the specific needs.
[0046] Optionally, the number of boost converters 221 is determined according to the number of channels of the LED light panel. One boost converter 221 can power up to three second buck converters 222. One boost converter 221 and the corresponding connected second buck converter 222 are grouped together. The number of groups of boost converters 221 and second buck converters 222 can be increased according to the number of constant current power (CC) channels required to drive each LED light panel. For example, if one second buck converter 222 outputs three constant current power (CC), and this embodiment requires 12 channels of output constant current power (CC) to provide constant current drive for each functional LED of the vehicle headlights, then two groups of boost converters 221 and corresponding connected second buck converters 222 can be set up, with one boost converter 221 connected to three second buck converters 222 and the other boost converter 221 connected to one second buck converter 222; of course, both boost converters 221 can also be connected to two second buck converters 222. By appropriately adjusting the number of boost converter 221 and the corresponding second buck converter 222, costs can be minimized while meeting the driving requirements of each LED board, thus avoiding resource waste to the greatest extent.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, a memory may be provided in the second buck converter 222, which can provide one-time programmable (OTP) programming. The second buck converter 222 includes multiple programmable interfaces, such as... Figure 3 The MPIO1-MPIOn interfaces are shown in the diagram. The programmable interface can be configured as either analog or digital. When connected to a load switch to output a digital control signal providing switching functionality, the programmable interface is configured as digital. Alternatively, it can be connected to a temperature sensor, LED board pins, or coded resistors to acquire voltage data, in which case it is configured as analog. The temperature sensor can be a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor. The programmable interface can be configured for analog-to-digital conversion (AD), pulse width modulation (PWM), etc., to acquire temperature sensor data and LED pin (BIN) information from each LED board, supporting thermal management and BIN management functions for each LED board on the system.
[0048] In some embodiments of this application, see also [link to previous document]. Figure 3The LED driver control circuit 22 further includes a high-side switch (HSS) 223 connected to the second buck converter 222. The second buck converter 222 is also used to output a switch control signal, and the high-side switch 223 is used to provide a switching function for the load connected to it according to the switch control signal. The switch control signal is a PWM signal or a second enable control signal EN. Specifically, the second buck converter 222 can output a PWM signal through a programmable interface configured as a digital quantity. The high-side switch 223 turns on or off according to the received PWM signal, thereby connecting a disconnectable fan or other load. The second buck converter 222 can also output a second enable control signal EN through a programmable interface configured as a digital quantity. The high-side switch 223 turns on or off according to the received second enable control signal EN, thereby connecting a disconnectable fan or other load. In this way, the high-side switch 223 can provide low-latency, long-life, and highly stable drive control for fans and other loads.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the second buck converter 222 can be connected to multiple independent high-side switches 223, each high-side switch being connected to a fan or other load. The second buck converter 222 can also be connected to an integrated high-side switch 223, which integrates multiple semiconductor high-side switches, each semiconductor high-side switch being connected to a fan or other load.
[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the integrated lamp driver circuit 20 may also include a high-performance microcontroller unit (MCU). The MCU generates corresponding control signals as needed. After generating the control signals, the MCU transmits the generated control signals to the LED driver control circuit 22 and the first buck converter 23 to control the lights and related components located at the front of the vehicle. This can achieve the same high degree of integration in the driving function, reduce the processing difficulty of multiple microcontroller units working together, save development time, and reduce development costs.
[0051] The integrated lighting driver circuit of this application has a high degree of integration and meets the power supply requirements of various LEDs (including pixel lights) in the front lighting fixture. At the same time, it provides drive control for the cooling fan and the dimming motor. Moreover, it adopts the MCU_Less architecture design, which can realize all the driving functions of the front lighting fixture through UART communication + Com_EN and targeted logic combinations without using an MCU. Thus, the integrated lighting driver circuit realizes software-free design, reduces the processing difficulty of multiple MCUs working together, saves development time, and reduces development costs.
[0052] In summary, the integrated lighting drive circuit of this application includes an LED drive control circuit and a first step-down converter, which is powered by the vehicle power supply and drives the front lights of the vehicle according to the received control signal. The integrated lighting drive circuit can be without a microcontroller unit, which can realize software-free design, reduce the processing difficulty of multiple microcontroller units working together, save development time, and reduce development costs.
[0053] In one exemplary embodiment of this specification, a vehicle is also provided. For example, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle 400 includes an integrated lighting driver 4001.
[0054] The vehicle according to the present invention uses the aforementioned integrated lamp driver, which can achieve internal software-free design, reduce the processing difficulty of multi-MCU collaborative work, save development time, and reduce development costs.
