[0072] LED light sources are used in photography, videography, lighting, and live streaming supplementary lighting. Currently, in multi-channel LED driver applications, the brightness of each channel's LED beads is difficult to adjust independently, leading to uneven light mixing and affecting illumination uniformity and image quality. Simultaneously, LED driver circuits lack rapid protection mechanisms against abnormal operating conditions such as voltage fluctuations and overcurrent, easily causing LED damage and shortening their lifespan. Furthermore, LED driver circuits cannot automatically adjust current in real time, limiting the real-time performance of dimming. In other words, existing technologies for driving multi-channel LEDs have certain limitations.
[0073] Based on the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a drive control circuit to control the on / off state of LED beads. It also adjusts the brightness of the LED beads in real time by regulating the current input to the LED beads, thereby improving the real-time performance and accuracy of dimming. Furthermore, it provides independent drive control circuits for each channel of LEDs to independently control the on / off state and brightness of each channel's LED beads.
[0074] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the drive control circuit provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the drive control circuit includes: a current sampling module 10, a drive module 20, an on / off control module 30, and a lamp group module 40, which includes multiple LEDs.
[0075] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 In the drive control circuit, the drive module 20 is connected to the current sampling module 10, the on / off control module 30, and the lamp group module 40, respectively. The drive module 20 receives the threshold voltage V. th The sampling voltage from the current sampling module 10 and the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30 control the magnitude of the current output to the lamp group module 40, thereby controlling the on / off state and brightness of the lamp group module 40. Specifically, a multi-channel drive control circuit can be set up to independently control the on / off state and brightness of multiple lamp group modules.
[0076] The input terminal of the on / off control module 30 is connected to a control signal, and the output terminal of the on / off control module 30 is connected to the control terminal of the drive module 20.
[0077] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The on / off control module 30 includes an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminal of the on / off control module 30 receives control signals of different levels, and the output terminal of the on / off control module 30 is connected to the control terminal of the drive module 20. The on / off control module 30 performs logic control on the drive module 20 based on the received control signals of different levels.
[0078] For example, the level of the control signal can be high or low. The voltage value of the high-level control signal can be 1.8V, 3.3V or 5V, and the voltage value of the low-level control signal can be 0V.
[0079] The first input terminal of the drive module 20 is connected to the output terminal of the current sampling module 10 to receive the sampling voltage provided by the current sampling module 10. The second input terminal of the drive module 20 is connected to the threshold voltage. The output terminal of the drive module 20 is connected to the input terminal of the lamp group module 40.
[0080] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The drive module 20 includes two input terminals, one control terminal and one output terminal. The first input terminal of the drive module 20 is connected to the output terminal of the current sampling module 10 to receive the sampling voltage provided by the current sampling module 10.
[0081] The sampling voltage provided by the current sampling module 10 is the voltage generated when the current flows through the current sampling module 10. This current also flows through the lamp group module 40. In other words, the current sampling module 10 provides the sampling voltage to the drive module 20 to indicate to the drive module 20 whether there is a fluctuation in the current flowing through the lamp group module 40.
[0082] The second input terminal of the drive module 20 is connected to the threshold voltage V. th Threshold voltage V thThis is a preset reference voltage used to adjust the current flowing through the lamp module 40. The output of the drive module 20 is connected to the input of the lamp module 40 to adjust the current based on the sampled voltage and the threshold voltage V. th Under its influence, current is transmitted to the lamp module 40.
[0083] The on / off control module 30 is used to output a high-level or low-level on / off control voltage signal to the drive module 20 under the action of the control signal, so as to control the on / off of the drive module 20.
[0084] Optionally, the on / off control module 30 generates a high-level or low-level on / off control voltage signal under the action of the control signal and transmits it to the drive module 20 to control the on / off state of the drive module 20 based on the high-level or low-level on / off control voltage signal. The level of the on / off control voltage signal output by the on / off control module 30 is consistent with the level of the control signal.
[0085] Specifically, if the control signal input to the on / off control module 30 is high, the on / off control voltage signal generated by the on / off control module 30 is also high, meaning the on / off control voltage signal output by the on / off control module 30 to the drive module 20 is high, causing the drive module 20 to conduct. Conversely, if the control signal input to the on / off control module 30 is low, the on / off control voltage signal generated by the on / off control module 30 is also low, meaning the on / off control voltage signal output by the on / off control module 30 to the drive module 20 is low, causing the drive module 20 to turn off.
[0086] The driving module 20 is used to turn on when the on / off control voltage signal is high level so that each lamp in the lamp module 40 is lit; the driving module 20 is also used to adjust the current output to the lamp module 40 under the action of the sampling voltage and the threshold voltage so as to adjust the brightness of the lamp module 40 in real time or keep the brightness of the lamp module 40 constant; the driving module 20 is also used to turn off when the on / off control voltage signal is low level so that each lamp in the lamp module 40 is turned off.
[0087] Optionally, the drive module 20 turns on when it receives a high-level on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30, thereby illuminating each LED in the lamp module 40. Under the influence of the sampling voltage and the threshold voltage, it adjusts the current output to the lamp module 40 to adjust the brightness of the lamp module 40 in real time or maintain a constant brightness, avoiding brightness fluctuations caused by voltage fluctuations. Specifically, the higher the current output from the drive module 20 to the lamp module 40, the higher the brightness of the lamp module 40.
[0088] When the drive module 20 receives a low-level on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30, it turns off, so that each lamp in the lamp module 40 is turned off. At this time, no matter how much current the drive module 20 outputs to the lamp module 40 under the action of the sampling voltage and the threshold voltage, it cannot make each lamp in the lamp module 40 light up, and thus cannot adjust the brightness of the lamp module 40.
[0089] In other words, the on / off control voltage signal output by the on / off control module 30 to the drive module 20 has a higher priority than the current signal output by the drive module 20 to the lamp group module 40. Under the premise that the on / off control module 30 controls the drive module 20 to conduct and each lamp bead in the lamp group module 40 is lit, the drive module 20 can adjust the brightness of the lamp group module 40 by adjusting the magnitude of the current signal output to the lamp group module 40.
[0090] In this embodiment, the input terminal of the on / off control module in the drive control circuit is connected to a control signal, and the output terminal is connected to the control terminal of the drive module. The first input terminal of the drive module is connected to the output terminal of the current sampling module to receive the sampling voltage provided by the current sampling module. The second input terminal of the drive module is connected to a threshold voltage, and the output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the lamp module to transmit current to the lamp module under the action of the sampling voltage and the threshold voltage. The on / off control module generates a high-level or low-level on / off control voltage signal under the action of the control signal and transmits it to the drive module to control the on / off of the drive module based on the high-level or low-level on / off control voltage signal. When the drive module receives a high-level on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module, it conducts to light up each lamp in the lamp module. Under the action of the sampling voltage and the threshold voltage, it adjusts the current output to the lamp module to adjust the brightness of the lamp module in real time or maintain the brightness of the lamp module at a constant brightness to avoid brightness fluctuations caused by voltage fluctuations. The drive module turns off when it receives a low-level on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module, thus turning off all the LEDs in the lamp module. Only when the on / off control module controls the drive module to turn on and all the LEDs in the lamp module are lit can the drive module adjust the brightness of the lamp module by regulating the current output to the lamp module, achieving precise control over the lamp module's on / off state and brightness.
[0091] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the drive control circuit provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the drive module 20 includes: a current regulation unit 21, a buffer unit 22, and a conduction unit 23.
[0092] Optionally, refer to Figure 2The drive module 20 includes three units: a current regulation unit 21, a buffer unit 22, and a conduction unit 23. The current regulation unit 21 is based on a threshold voltage V. th The sampled voltage from the current sampling module 10 generates an regulated voltage signal, which is then sent to the conduction unit 23 via the buffer unit 22 to regulate the voltage of the conduction unit 23, thereby regulating the current output from the conduction unit 23 to the lamp module 40, i.e., regulating the brightness of the lamp module 40.
[0093] The first input terminal of the current regulating unit 21 is connected to the output terminal of the current sampling module 10 and the input terminal of the conduction unit 23. The second input terminal of the current regulating unit 21 is connected to the threshold voltage. The output terminal of the current regulating unit 21 is connected to the first terminal of the buffer unit 22.
[0094] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 2 The current regulation unit 21 includes two input terminals and one output terminal. The first input terminal of the current regulation unit 21 is connected to the input terminal of the conduction unit 23 and serves as the first input terminal of the drive module 20, connected to the output terminal of the current sampling module 10 to receive the sampling voltage from the current sampling module 10. The second input terminal of the current regulation unit 21 serves as the second input terminal of the drive module 20, receiving the threshold voltage V. th The output terminal of the current regulating unit 21 is connected to the first terminal of the buffer unit 22.
[0095] Current regulation unit 21 is based on threshold voltage V th The sampled voltage from the current sampling module 10 is used to generate an regulated voltage signal, which is then output to the buffer unit 22.
[0096] The second end of the buffer unit 22 is connected to the control end of the conduction unit 23 and the output end of the on / off control module 30, respectively; the output end of the conduction unit 23 is connected to the input end of the lamp module 40.
[0097] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 2 The control terminal of the conducting unit 23 is connected to the second terminal of the buffer unit 22, and serves as the control terminal of the drive module 20, connected to the output terminal of the on / off control module 30, to receive the regulated voltage signal from the current regulating unit 21 transmitted by the buffer unit 22, and the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30. The output terminal of the conducting unit 23 serves as the output terminal of the drive module 20, and is connected to the input terminal of the lamp assembly module 40.
[0098] Specifically, the conduction unit 23 is turned on or off under the action of the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30, thereby controlling the lighting or extinguishing of each lamp in the lamp assembly module 40. When on, it adjusts the current output to the lamp assembly module 40 under the action of the adjusted voltage signal from the current adjustment unit 21 to adjust the brightness of the lamp assembly module 40. Specifically, the conduction unit 23 is turned on when the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30 is high, causing each lamp in the lamp assembly module 40 to light up; and turned off when the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30 is low, causing each lamp in the lamp assembly module 40 to extinguish.
[0099] When the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30 is high and the adjusted voltage signal from the current adjustment unit 21 increases, the conduction unit 23 increases the current output to the lamp module 40, thereby increasing the brightness of the lamp module 40. When the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module 30 is high and the adjusted voltage signal from the current adjustment unit 21 decreases, the conduction unit 23 decreases the current output to the lamp module 40, thereby decreasing the brightness of the lamp module 40.
[0100] In this embodiment, a current regulation unit, a buffer unit, and a conduction unit are included in the drive module. The first input terminal of the current regulation unit is connected to the output terminal of the current sampling module and the input terminal of the conduction unit. The second input terminal is connected to a threshold voltage, and the output terminal is connected to the first terminal of the buffer unit. The second terminal of the buffer unit is connected to the control terminal of the conduction unit and the output terminal of the on / off control module, respectively. The output terminal of the conduction unit is connected to the input terminal of the lamp module. Based on the threshold voltage and the sampling voltage from the current sampling module, the current regulation unit generates a regulated voltage signal, which is buffered by the buffer unit and then sent to the conduction unit. The conduction unit is turned on or off under the action of the on / off control voltage signal from the on / off control module, controlling the lighting or extinguishing of each lamp in the lamp module. When on, the current output to the lamp module is adjusted under the action of the regulated voltage signal from the current regulation unit to adjust the brightness of the lamp module. This achieves on / off and brightness control of the lamp module.
[0101] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the drive control circuit provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the current sampling module 10 includes: a first resistor R1.
[0102] One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first input terminal of the current adjustment unit 21 and the input terminal of the conduction unit 23; the other end of the first resistor R1 is grounded.
[0103] Optionally, refer to Figure 3The current sampling module 10 includes a first resistor R1. One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first output terminal of the drive module 20 as the output terminal of the current sampling module 10. That is, one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first input terminal of the current adjustment unit 21 and the input terminal of the conduction unit 23 respectively, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is grounded.
[0104] The first resistor R1 is a current sampling resistor. The first resistor R1 is used to convert the current flowing through the first resistor R1 into a sampling voltage and input it to the first input terminal of the current adjustment unit 21.

The fifth and sixth resistors generate a fixed threshold voltage through voltage division and input it to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier. When the fixed threshold voltage connected to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier is not equal to the sampling voltage connected to the inverting input, it is determined that the current flowing through the lamp module is fluctuating.
