Description

The mains power grid experiences voltage fluctuations due to various factors. When the voltage is low, it cannot maintain the current value of the LED loads, resulting in a decrease in LED brightness and a reduced user experience.

[0020] To facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present application. However, the present application may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present application.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0022] The general idea of ​​this application is to address the problems of flicker, voltage fluctuation and inability to meet subharmonic requirements in existing LED drive circuits, and to provide a wide input voltage flicker-free LED drive circuit, comprising a rectifier circuit, an absorption circuit, a first conduction branch, a second conduction branch, a third conduction branch and a load branch. When the real-time voltage after rectification by the rectifier circuit is greater than the conduction voltage of the load branch, the second conduction branch is turned on, and the first and third conduction branches are turned off. When the real-time voltage is less than the conduction voltage of the load branch, the first conduction branch is turned on, and the second and third conduction branches are turned off. When the real-time voltage continues to decrease until both the first and second conduction branches are turned off, the third conduction branch is turned on. In this way, the problem of insufficient input current when the input voltage decreases can be improved, and the LED luminous brightness is guaranteed to be consistent under a wide input voltage. The flicker problem caused by mains ripple is also improved, and the subharmonic requirements of environmental protection certification are met.

[0023] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific implementation methods of the specification. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] FIG1 shows a circuit diagram of a wide input voltage, flicker-free LED driver circuit provided in one embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the wide input voltage, flicker-free LED driver circuit provided in this embodiment includes a rectifier circuit 10, an absorption circuit 20, a first conductive branch 30, a second conductive branch 40, a third conductive branch 50, and a load branch 60. The rectifier circuit has an input connected to an AC mains supply, configured to receive the AC mains supply and rectify the AC mains supply for output. When the real-time voltage after rectification by the rectifier circuit is greater than the load branch's conduction voltage, the second conductive branch is turned on, and the first and third conductive branches are turned off. When the real-time voltage is less than the load branch's conduction voltage, the first conductive branch is turned on, and the second and third conductive branches are turned off. When the real-time voltage continues to decrease until both the first and second conductive branches are turned off, the third conductive branch is turned on. Thus, when the rectified real-time voltage is high, power is drawn through the first conductive branch. When the rectified real-time voltage drops below the conduction voltage of the load branch, power is drawn through the second conductive branch. This allows continuous current to flow through the LED lamp beads in the load branch, achieving continuous and stable light emission and solving the problem of flicker. When the rectified real-time voltage further drops to the point where both the first and second conductive branches cannot operate, the third conductive branch allows some LED lamp beads in the load branch to continue operating, so that current still flows through the LED light-emitting diodes under low voltage, causing the LEDs to emit light.

[0025] Specifically, in one embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 1, the absorption circuit 20 includes a diode D1 and a capacitor C1, wherein the positive electrode of the diode D1 is connected to the output end of the rectifier circuit and the input end of the second conductive branch, and the negative electrode of the diode D1 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C1 and the input end of the first conductive branch and the input end of the third conductive branch. Thus, when a spike voltage enters the outside, it will be absorbed by the capacitor C1, protecting the devices at the back end, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit. In addition, in the prior art, the capacitor C1 is directly charged by the rectifier current, which will cause subharmonics to not meet the requirements of environmental certification for subharmonics. In the present application, as shown in Figure 1, the capacitor C1 is charged by the diode D1. When the capacitor voltage is high enough and greater than the real-time voltage after rectification, the capacitor is no longer charged. At this time, since the real-time voltage after rectification is greater than the conduction voltage of the load branch, the second conductive branch is turned on, so the AC voltage from the mains passes through the rectifier circuit to the second conductive branch and then through the load branch to form a loop. During the time when capacitor C1 is not charging, current is also drawn to the line network through the second conducting branch. The line network input current waveform (the smooth waveform is the current waveform) is shown in Figure 3. This waveform helps to improve harmonics so that the subharmonics meet the subharmonic requirements of environmental certification.

[0026] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the first conducting branch includes a first operational amplifier U1 and a first MOS transistor Q1, the second conducting branch includes a second operational amplifier U2 and a second MOS transistor Q2, the third conducting branch includes a third operational amplifier U3 and a third MOS transistor Q3, and the load branch includes a first resistor R1, a first group of LED loads, a second resistor R2, and a second group of LED loads connected in series, wherein the first group of LED loads and the second group of LED loads respectively include multiple LED lamp beads.

[0027] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the application, the drain of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the cathode of the diode D1, the source of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the first end of the first resistor R1 and the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1, the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1, and the non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the first reference voltage REF1; the drain of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the anode of the diode D1, the source of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the first end of the first resistor R1 and the inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier The first MOS transistor Q3 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2, the gate of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2, and the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to the second reference voltage REF2; the drain of the third MOS transistor Q3 is connected to the cathode of the diode D1, the source of the third MOS transistor Q3 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2 and the inverting input terminal of the third operational amplifier U3, the gate of the third MOS transistor Q3 is connected to the output terminal of the third operational amplifier U3, and the non-inverting input terminal of the third operational amplifier U3 is connected to the third reference voltage REF3.

[0028] Furthermore, in the present application, after the AC voltage is rectified by the rectifier circuit DB1, it is shaped into a steamed bun wave as shown in Figure 2. When the rectified real-time voltage is greater than the conduction voltage on the load branch, the second MOS transistor Q2 on the second conduction branch is turned on. After the conduction, current flows through the resistor R1, making the voltage reference on R1 equal to the second reference voltage REF2. At the same time, because the second reference voltage REF2 is greater than the voltage value of the first reference voltage REF1, the first MOS transistor Q1 of the first conduction branch is turned off. Similarly, due to the current flowing through the second resistor R2, a voltage is generated on the second resistor R2. This voltage is greater than the third reference voltage REF3 of the third conduction branch, and the third MOS transistor Q3 of the third conduction branch is turned off. When the rectified real-time voltage decreases and becomes less than the load branch's conduction voltage, the second MOS transistor Q2 turns off, rendering the second conduction branch inoperable. At this point, because capacitor C1 stores energy, the voltage across capacitor C1 exceeds the load branch's conduction voltage, causing the first MOS transistor Q1 to turn on, taking over operation from the second MOS transistor Q2. Similarly, current flowing through the second resistor R2 generates a voltage across the second resistor R2 that is greater than the third reference voltage REF3 of the third conduction branch, turning off the third MOS transistor Q3 of the third conduction branch. Consequently, the first and second MOS transistors Q1 and Q2 alternately conduct, ensuring continuous current flows through the LEDs on the load branch, ensuring consistent and stable illumination and addressing the issue of flicker. Furthermore, when the second MOS transistor Q2 is on, it draws energy directly from the mains, while when the first MOS transistor Q1 is on, it draws energy from capacitor C1. This allows the capacitance of capacitor C1 to be smaller than that used in the prior art.

[0029] Furthermore, when the input mains voltage drops further, the energy stored in capacitor C1 is consumed, causing the voltage across capacitor C1 to fall below the load branch's conduction voltage. Both the first and second MOS transistors Q1 and Q2 cease operation. At this point, the voltage across resistor R2 decreases. Due to the presence of the third conduction branch, the third MOS transistor Q3 turns on. The first set of LEDs in the load branch no longer operates, reducing the voltage on the LEDs. The mains power maintains the conduction of the second set of LEDs. This allows current to flow through the second set of LEDs in the load branch, even at low voltages, causing the LEDs to emit light. Consequently, when the input voltage drops, the third MOS transistor Q3 turns on, halting operation of some LEDs while allowing the remaining LEDs to conduct normally. This ensures normal lamp illumination and achieves a wide input voltage range.

[0030] FIG2 shows a circuit diagram of a wide-input-voltage, flicker-free LED driver circuit according to another embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the third conducting branch 50 further includes a fourth operational amplifier U4 and a fourth MOS transistor Q4. The drain of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 is connected to the anode of the diode D1, the source of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2 and the inverting input of the fourth operational amplifier U4, the gate of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 is connected to the output of the fourth operational amplifier U4, and the non-inverting input of the fourth operational amplifier U4 is connected to a fourth reference voltage REF4.

[0031] When the grid voltage is sufficient, similar to the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the AC voltage is rectified by DB1 and shaped into a steamed bun wave as shown in FIG2 . When the rectified real-time voltage is greater than the conduction voltage on the load branch, the second MOS transistor Q2 on the second conduction branch turns on. After the conduction, current flows through the resistor R1, making the voltage reference on R1 equal to the second reference voltage REF2. At the same time, because the second reference voltage REF2 is slightly greater than the first reference voltage REF1, the first MOS transistor Q1 of the first conduction branch is turned off. Similarly, the current flowing through the second resistor R2 generates a voltage across the second resistor R2. This voltage is greater than the reference voltages REF3 and REF4 of the third conduction branch, turning off the third and fourth MOS transistors Q3 and Q4 of the third conduction branch.

[0032] When the rectified real-time voltage decreases and becomes less than the load branch's conduction voltage, the second MOS transistor Q2 turns off, rendering the second conduction branch inoperable. At this point, due to the stored energy within capacitor C1, the voltage across capacitor C1 exceeds the load branch's conduction voltage, causing the first MOS transistor Q1 to turn on, taking over from the second MOS transistor Q2. This ensures continuous and stable illumination of the LED. Similarly, current flowing through the second resistor R2 generates a voltage across the second resistor R2 that is greater than the reference voltages REF3 and REF4 of the third conduction branch, turning off the third and fourth MOS transistors Q3 and Q4 of the third conduction branch. Consequently, the first and second MOS transistors Q1 and Q2 alternately conduct, ensuring continuous current flows through the LED on the load branch, ensuring continuous and stable illumination and resolving the issue of flicker.

[0033] Furthermore, when the input mains voltage drops further, no current flows through resistor R1, causing the current in resistor R2 to decrease, and the voltage across resistor R2 to drop. When the voltage falls below the reference voltages REF3 and REF4, and because REF4 > REF3, the fourth MOS transistor Q4 turns on. Once Q4 turns on, it draws current directly from the grid, turning on the second set of LED loads. When the real-time grid voltage is insufficient to turn on the second set of LED loads, the energy stored in the capacitors prevents the fourth MOS transistor Q4 from turning on, and the third MOS transistor Q3 continues to turn on, continuing to supply current to the second set of LED loads. This allows the entire circuit to achieve a higher energy supply while using smaller capacitors, enabling a wider input voltage range to ensure consistent LED brightness.
