1Reliability

If existing LED driver power supply is used, then basic power conversion is achieved, but load regulation is inadequate leading to power errors and brightness fluctuations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveload regulationVSAvoidpower error
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the output voltage feedback module samples the voltage and feeds it back to the control module. The control module then adjusts the duty cycle of the driving output through the current compensation module to stabilize the current flowing through the LED load, thereby improving load regulation and reducing power errors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-regulation by automatically adjusting its own operating parameters. When the output voltage feedback module detects voltage variations, the control module autonomously modifies the duty cycle to maintain stable current flow, enabling the system to self-correct load regulation issues without external intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback loop continuously monitors output voltage and adjusts the duty cycle accordingly, ensuring stable current flow through the LED load regardless of load condition variations. This maintains consistent brightness output even when LED load conditions change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the duty cycle of the driving output in response to changing load conditions. The control module modifies operating parameters in real-time based on feedback from the output voltage feedback module, enabling the system to adapt to varying LED load conditions while maintaining stable brightness.

AI summary

A load regulation optimization circuit for a wide-load light-emitting diode (LED) driver power supply includes: a voltage input module configured to convert an alternating current (AC) into a direct current (DC) for output; and an input undervoltage and overvoltage protection module configured to detect a voltage condition of the voltage input module and provide a feedback to a control module. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. In the present disclosure, a current compensation module is configured to feed voltage variation information back to the control module when a voltage variation occurs at an LED load due to an LED load variation. Thus, the control module changes the duty cycle of a driving output, thereby ultimately changing the output current of a voltage output module to maintain a stable current flowing through the LED load.
