The utility model provides a drive circuit with chopping and
current limiting functions and a stage lamp, comprising an ILIMIT pin, an external pull-down
resistor arranged on the ILIMIT pin; the output end of the
H bridge is connected with a load; the first input end of the
control logic circuit is connected with the ILIMIT pin, and the driving output end of the
control logic circuit is connected with the
H bridge; the
control logic circuit comprises a calculation circuit, a current detection circuit, a comparison circuit and a
chopper circuit, the ILIMIT pin serves as the input end of the calculation circuit, the input end of the comparison circuit is connected with the output end of the calculation circuit and the output end of the current detection circuit, and the input end of the
chopper circuit is connected with the output end of the comparison circuit and the output end of the current detection circuit. The
driving circuit provided by the utility model has a current chopping and
current limiting function so as to prevent the output current of the
H bridge from infinitely increasing, and surge current can be effectively limited without damaging a
chip and a load during the starting or transient period of the load.
