1Productivity
If traditional feedback control mechanisms are used in LED driving circuits, then the circuit structure is simple, but the bias voltage regulation is suboptimal and LED current management is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback control circuit is segmented into three functional modules: status detecting circuit (compares headroom voltage with threshold voltages to determine voltage status), counting circuit (generates counting signals based on status signals to track voltage levels), and modulating circuit (generates modulating signals from counting signals to control bias voltage). This segmentation allows each module to perform a specific function, improving overall control efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
2Loss of energy
If inadequate feedback control is used, then the device complexity is low, but the overall efficiency of LED driving is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a closed-loop feedback control mechanism where the status detecting circuit continuously monitors the headroom detecting voltage, compares it with threshold voltages, and generates status signals. These signals flow through the counting circuit and modulating circuit to adjust the bias voltage, creating a feedback loop that maximizes LED driving efficiency by maintaining optimal voltage levels and minimizing energy loss.
3Manufacturing precision
If bias voltage is not properly regulated, then the circuit operation is simple, but LED current levels are suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The voltage regulation system is designed dynamically, where the modulating circuit generates modulating signals based on real-time counting signals from the counting circuit. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the bias voltage to be continuously optimized according to actual LED string requirements, achieving precise LED current regulation while adapting to changing operating conditions rather than using fixed voltage levels.

AI summary
A feedback control circuit in an LED driving circuit for driving a plurality of LED strings. Each LED string provides a headroom detecting voltage. The feedback control circuit has a status detecting circuit, a counting circuit and a modulating circuit. The status detecting circuit compares each headroom detecting voltage with a low headroom threshold voltage and a high headroom threshold voltage and generates an up self-status signal and a down self-status signal. The counting circuit counts or keeps unchanged and then generates a counting signal based on the up self-status signal and the down self-status signal. The modulating circuit generates a modulating signal based on the counting signal. And based on the modulating signal, the feedback control circuit generates a feedback control signal to regulate a bias voltage supplying the plurality of LED strings.
