Solution Overview

Problem

In Mini-LED television power supplies, the interaction between +12V and +28V voltages during high power output leads to unpredictable results, complicating research, development, and debugging due to shared transformer usage.

Innovation Solution

A Mini-LED driving power supply with a power supply board comprising a first and second conversion module, where the first module outputs +12V and +20V voltages to the mainboard based on a power-on/off signal, and the second module converts high-voltage direct current into +28V for the Mini-LED screen, ensuring independent voltage outputs to prevent interference.

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply system is divided into two independent conversion modules: a first conversion module for generating +12V and +20V voltages, and a second conversion module for generating +28V voltage. Each module has its own transformer and control circuit, eliminating mutual interference between voltage outputs while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.
