Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED strip technology, specifically a dual-pin constant current IC. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, constant current ICs, through their built-in current regulation mechanisms, ensure that the output current of the LED strip remains constant when the voltage or load changes. This effectively avoids flickering or inconsistent brightness caused by voltage fluctuations. Constant current ICs also limit the maximum current to prevent the LED strip from overheating due to overcurrent.

[0003] In related technologies, commonly used constant current ICs are usually 3-pin and 5-pin, such as power input pin, ground pin, feedback pin, enable pin, etc. Such constant current ICs not only require more complex peripheral circuits, but the internal circuits of the constant current ICs are also more complex. 3-pin and 5-pin constant current ICs are large in size and difficult to adapt to compact scenarios such as ultra-thin lamps and flexible light strips. In high-density LED light strips, there is a problem of crosstalk between multiple pin signals. The current fluctuation caused by signal crossing affects the uniformity of light efficiency of the light strip. Utility Model Content

[0008] The MOS transistors are arranged in several groups, and the groups of MOS transistors are electrically connected to the PAD1 pin of the power interface and the OUT pin of the amplifier. The MOS transistors are electrically connected to the first pad, and the right MOS transistors are electrically connected to the first resistor R. The current of the groups of MOS transistors is adjusted by their own switching.

[0009] The negative input IN_P pin of the amplifier is electrically connected to the first resistor R. The negative power supply VSS pin of the voltage generator, the power interface PAD1 pin of the power generator, and the negative power supply VSS pin are electrically connected to the second pad. The first resistor R is electrically connected to the second pad.

[0010] The simplified dual-pin constant current IC circuit structure, through the design of adjusting current by MOSFET switching and forming a feedback loop with amplifier and resistor, provides the foundation for constant current control and wide voltage withstand capability, adapts to the driving requirements of LED strip loads, and balances functional integrity and ease of application.

[0011] Furthermore, the MOSFETs are configured in five groups, which are connected in parallel to the first pad and the output OUT pin of the amplifier. This can increase the overall current carrying capacity by shunting, meeting the wide range of current output requirements from 3 to 120mA. The parallel structure can reduce the power consumption and heat generation of a single MOSFET, and improve the stability and lifespan of the circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, a second resistor is electrically connected between the negative input IN_P pin of the amplifier and the first resistor R, which reduces the current fluctuation of the lamp strip load, improves the uniformity of light efficiency, and adapts to the current requirements of different load specifications, thereby enhancing the versatility of the dual-pin constant current IC.

[0013] Furthermore, the positive input IN_P pin, voltage adjustment pin VP, and positive voltage VBP pin of the amplifier are connected to the voltage generator to ensure that the amplifier obtains a stable reference voltage and bias signal, ensuring that the amplifier operates in the optimal linear amplification state, reducing current regulation errors caused by voltage fluctuations, improving the stability of constant current performance, and providing a continuous and stable drive current for the LED strip.

[0014] Furthermore, the amplifier's voltage adjustment pin VP and negative voltage pin VBN are connected to the power generator to meet the amplifier's operating requirements within a wide voltage range of 3 to 50V, optimize the amplifier's power consumption and output capability, ensure that it can stably drive the load under different input voltages, and enhance the voltage adaptability of the dual-pin constant current IC.

[0015] Furthermore, the negative power supply VSS pin of the amplifier is electrically connected to the second pad to ensure that the ground potential of the amplifier is consistent with the ground potential of the load circuit, so as to avoid interference signals caused by the potential difference between the two grounds and affect the current regulation accuracy.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) The dual-pin constant current IC integrates the voltage generator, power generator, amplifier, MOSFET, and other functions into one design, reducing the power supply, feedback, and drive functions to two pins, simplifying the PCB layout and peripheral circuit complexity. The dual-pin design avoids the problem of crosstalk between multiple pins, and reduces the current fluctuation caused by signal crossover in high-density LED arrays, ensuring the uniformity of light efficiency.

[0018] (2) The dual-pin constant current IC package is smaller in size, which is suitable for compact scenarios such as ultra-thin lamps and flexible light strips. The reduction of pins directly reduces the risk of poor soldering and poor contact, and meets the miniaturization requirements of light strips. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, five groups of MOSFETs are configured, and the five groups of MOSFETs are connected in parallel to the first pad and the output OUT pin of the amplifier. The output current can be adjusted by turning the five groups of MOSFETs on and off, and the current supply of the LED strip is met by the parallel current splitting method.
