VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a control signal is used to control the switch control circuit, then the backlight module lamps can be turned on and off, but the voltage value of the control signal fluctuates due to interference and ripple, causing logic disorder

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

A voltage dividing circuit is introduced as an intermediary component between the control signal input and the switch control circuit. This voltage dividing circuit stabilizes the fluctuating control signal voltage by dividing it with resistors, ensuring that the voltage remains within the safe operating range (less than 0.7V when turned off) and prevents logic disorder in the switch control circuit.
