Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If film capacitors are used for filtering in Boost circuits, then filtering effect is achieved, but stroboscopic phenomenon occurs and driving cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the type of capacitor from film capacitor to electrolytic capacitor, altering the electrical parameters of the filtering circuit. This parameter change eliminates the stroboscopic phenomenon while maintaining the filtering effect, as electrolytic capacitors have different capacitance characteristics that prevent the oscillatory behavior caused by film capacitors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces expensive film capacitors with more cost-effective electrolytic capacitors. This substitution reduces driving cost while achieving the desired filtering performance without stroboscopic effects, making the solution more economically viable for LED driving applications.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If additional de-stroboscopic circuit is added, then stroboscopic phenomenon is eliminated, but driving space increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the de-stroboscopic function from a separate additional circuit and integrates it into the capacitor selection within the existing filtering circuit. By using electrolytic capacitors that inherently prevent stroboscopic phenomena, the need for separate de-stroboscopic components is eliminated, thus reducing driving space.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrolytic capacitor serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the filtering capacitor for DC voltage smoothing and also functions as the de-stroboscopic element by its inherent electrical characteristics. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for additional dedicated de-stroboscopic circuitry, reducing overall circuit complexity and space requirements.
3Power
If Boost circuit is used for LED driving, then voltage conversion is achieved, but electromagnetic interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the potentially harmful electromagnetic interference generated by the Boost circuit into beneficial effects through careful circuit design. By using electrolytic capacitors with appropriate capacitance values and adding electromagnetic suppression modules, the circuit transforms EMI into useful electromagnetic fields that aid in current regulation and reduce noise, thereby improving overall electromagnetic compatibility.
