Description

使用高电压驱动多个发光二极管的装置Device that uses high voltage to drive multiple light emitting diodes

技术领域technical field

本发明有关基于发光二极管(LED)的照明装置,尤其是一种使用高输入电压驱动基于发光二极管的照明设备的装置。The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED) based lighting device, and more particularly to a device for driving a light emitting diode (LED) based lighting device using a high input voltage.

背景技术Background technique

发光二极管(LED)是一种基于半导体的光源,经常被应用在低耗电仪表和家电的指示器,应用发光二极管在各种照明装置也已越来越普遍。例如,高明亮度的发光二极管已被广泛用于交通信号灯,车辆指示灯,以及剎车灯。近年来,使用高电压的发光二极管串的照明设备也被开发来取代传统的白热灯泡和荧光灯泡。Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor-based light source, which is often used in indicators of low-power meters and home appliances. The application of light-emitting diodes in various lighting devices has become more and more common. For example, high-brightness light-emitting diodes have been widely used in traffic lights, vehicle indicator lights, and brake lights. In recent years, lighting devices using strings of high-voltage light-emitting diodes have also been developed to replace conventional incandescent and fluorescent bulbs.

发光二极管的电流对电压(IV)特性曲线类似于一般的普通二极管,当加于发光二极管的电压小于二极管的正向电压时,只有非常小的电流通过发光二极管。当电压超过正向电压时,通过发光二极管的电流则大幅增加。一般来说,在大多数操作范围,基于发光二极管的照明装置的发光强度是和通过的电流成正比,但操作在高电流时则不如此。通常为基于发光二极管的照明装置设计的驱动装置,都是以提供一个恒定的电流为主,以便能发出稳定的光和延长发光二极管的寿命。The current-versus-voltage (IV) characteristic curve of a light-emitting diode is similar to that of an ordinary diode. When the voltage applied to the light-emitting diode is less than the forward voltage of the diode, only a very small current flows through the light-emitting diode. When the voltage exceeds the forward voltage, the current through the LED increases substantially. In general, the luminous intensity of LED-based lighting is proportional to the current passing through most operating ranges, but not at high currents. The driving devices usually designed for lighting devices based on light-emitting diodes mainly provide a constant current, so as to emit stable light and prolong the life of the light-emitting diodes.

为了提高基于发光二极管的照明装置的亮度,通常是将多个发光二极管串联在一起,形成一个基于发光二极管的照明单元,而且多个基于发光二极管的照明单元可以更进一步串联在一起,形成一个照明装置。每个照明装置所需要的工作电压,通常是取决于照明单元里的发光二极管的正向电压,每个照明单元里有多少个发光二极管,每个照明单元是如何相互连接的,以及每个照明单元在照明装置里,是如何接收来自电源的电压。In order to improve the brightness of light-emitting diode-based lighting devices, a plurality of light-emitting diodes are usually connected in series to form a light-emitting diode-based lighting unit, and a plurality of light-emitting diode-based lighting units can be further connected in series to form a lighting unit. device. The required operating voltage of each lighting fixture is usually determined by the forward voltage of the LEDs in the lighting unit, how many LEDs are in each lighting unit, how each lighting unit is connected to each other, and how each lighting How the unit receives the voltage from the power supply in the lighting installation.

因此,在大多数的应用中,都需要某种类型的电源电压转换装置,来将一般较普遍的电源的高电压,转换成较低的电压,以提供给一个或多数个基于发光二极管的照明单元。因为需要这样的一个电压转换装置,造成基于发光二极管的照明设备效率减低,成本增高,也难以减小其体积。Therefore, in most applications, some type of power supply voltage conversion device is required to convert the high voltage of the generally more common power supply to a lower voltage to provide one or more LED based lighting. unit. Because such a voltage conversion device is required, the efficiency of the light-emitting diode-based lighting equipment is reduced, the cost is increased, and it is difficult to reduce the size thereof.

为了提高基于发光二极管的照明装置的效率和缩小其体积,许多技术已经被开发出来使这些装置能够使用诸如110伏交流电压或220伏交流电压的工作电压,而不需要使用电压转换装置。通常,照明装置中的发光二极管被划分为多个发光二极管段,每个发光二极管段可以通过相关的开关或电流源,选择性地导通或切断,并且随着操作的交流电压增加或减少,以控制器来控制开关或电流源。In order to increase the efficiency and reduce the size of LED-based lighting devices, a number of technologies have been developed to enable these devices to use operating voltages such as 110 VAC or 220 VAC without the use of voltage conversion devices. Generally, LEDs in lighting devices are divided into a plurality of LED segments, each LED segment can be selectively turned on or off through an associated switch or current source, and with the operating AC voltage increasing or decreasing, A controller is used to control the switch or current source.

随着越来越多基于发光二极管的照明设备被应用于以高输入电压为电源的高亮度照明设备中,设计一种驱动装置,以来自墙上的电源的交流高电压为输入电压,而可以巧妙及有效地连接基于发光二极管的照明灯串,已经形成非常必要的强烈需求。As more and more light-emitting diode-based lighting equipment is used in high-brightness lighting equipment with high input voltage as the power supply, a driving device is designed that uses the AC high voltage from the wall power supply as the input voltage, and can The ingenious and efficient connection of LED-based lighting strings has created a much-needed strong demand.

发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

本发明是为了提供一种可以在不同的高电压范围,例如从90伏至140伏或从180伏至265伏的交流电压提供的输入电压范围内,有效地驱动发光二极管串的装置而设计。The present invention is designed to provide a device that can efficiently drive a string of light emitting diodes over a range of input voltages provided by different high voltage ranges, such as from 90 volts to 140 volts or from 180 volts to 265 volts AC.

根据本发明的一个优选实施例,发光二极管照明装置包括由一通用控制器控制的两个发光二极管驱动电路。通用控制器是用来控制可以打开或关闭的两个开关,以便以两种不同的配置方式来连接两个发光二极管驱动电路。此外,通用控制器并根据输入电压的变化,来控制流经其中一个发光二极管驱动电路的电流。According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the LED lighting device includes two LED driving circuits controlled by a general controller. A generic controller is used to control two switches that can be turned on or off to connect the two LED driver circuits in two different configurations. In addition, the general-purpose controller controls the current flowing through one of the LED driving circuits according to the change of the input voltage.

每个发光二极管驱动电路包括一发光二极管单元,其中有被划分为多个发光二极管段的多个发光二极管,每个发光二极管段具有一个与其相关联的旁路开关。除了第一个和最后一个发光二极管段之外,每个发光二极管段有一个正端和一个负端分别连接到其前面的发光二极管段的负端和其随后的发光二极管段的正端。还有一发光二极管控制器控制每个旁路开关,以旁路绕接或连接发光二极管单元中的相关发光二极管段。发光二极管单元又连接到一电流源。Each LED driver circuit includes an LED unit in which there are multiple LEDs divided into multiple LED segments, each LED segment having a bypass switch associated therewith. Except for the first and last LED segments, each LED segment has a positive terminal and a negative terminal connected to the negative terminal of the LED segment preceding it and the positive terminal of the LED segment following it, respectively. There is also an LED controller that controls each bypass switch to bypass or connect the associated LED segment in the LED unit. The light emitting diode unit is in turn connected to a current source.

在本发明中,与每个发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关可以以两种不同的方式连接。在第一方式中,旁路开关的一端连接到相关联的发光二极管段的负端,而旁路开关的另一端连接到发光二极管驱动电路中的一公共节点。在另一方式中,旁路开关的两端分别连接到相关联的发光二极管段的正端和负端。In the present invention, the bypass switch associated with each LED segment can be connected in two different ways. In the first approach, one end of the bypass switch is connected to the negative terminal of the associated LED segment, and the other end of the bypass switch is connected to a common node in the LED driver circuit. In another approach, both ends of the bypass switch are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the associated light emitting diode segment, respectively.

在第一方式中,发光二极管驱动电路的电流源将公共节点连接到地,并且随着施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压的增加,相关联的旁路开关可以依次一个一个导通和断开,然后随着施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压的减小,相关联的旁路开关再以相反的顺序依次一个一个导通和断开。相关联的旁路开关也可以一开始时全部导通,再随着施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压的增加,依次一个一个断开,然后随着施加到发光二极管的输入电压的减小,以相反的顺序依次一个一个导通。在此方式里,与最后一个发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关则是一直导通着。In the first manner, the current source of the LED driver circuit connects the common node to ground, and as the input voltage applied to the LED unit increases, the associated bypass switches can be turned on and off one by one in sequence, Then, as the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode unit decreases, the associated bypass switches are turned on and off one by one in reverse order. The associated bypass switches can also be all turned on at the beginning, and then turned off one by one as the input voltage applied to the light-emitting diode unit increases, and then turned off one by one as the input voltage applied to the light-emitting diode unit decreases. The reverse sequence is turned on one by one. In this manner, the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment is always on.

在第二方式中,发光二极管驱动电路的电流源将最后一个发光二极管段的负端连接到地。相关联的旁路开关可以一开始时全部导通,再随着施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压的增加,依次一个一个断开,然后随着施加到发光二极管的输入电压的减小,以相反的顺序依次一个一个导通。在第二方式中,每个相关联的旁路开关也可以被选择性的而不是依顺序的导通或断开,如此可以根据施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压的电压值,而导通适当数量的发光二极管。In a second manner, the current source of the LED driver circuit connects the negative terminal of the last LED segment to ground. The associated bypass switches can all be turned on initially, then turned off one by one as the input voltage applied to the LED unit increases, and then reversed as the input voltage applied to the LED unit decreases. The sequence is turned on one by one. In the second mode, each associated bypass switch can also be selectively turned on or off instead of sequentially, so that it can be turned on appropriately according to the voltage value of the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode unit. number of LEDs.

第一开关将第一发光二极管驱动电路的第一发光二极管段的正端连接到第二发光二极管驱动电路的第一发光二极管段的正端,而第二开关将第一发光二极管驱动电路的最后一个发光二极管段的负端连接到第二发光二极管驱动电路的第一发光二极管段的正端。输入电压则连接到第一发光二极管驱动电路的第一发光二极管段的正端和通用控制器。The first switch connects the positive terminal of the first LED segment of the first LED driving circuit to the positive terminal of the first LED segment of the second LED driving circuit, and the second switch connects the last LED of the first LED driving circuit. The negative terminal of one LED segment is connected to the positive terminal of the first LED segment of the second LED driver circuit. The input voltage is then connected to the positive terminal of the first LED segment of the first LED driver circuit and the general controller.

当输入电压VIN在整流的90伏交流电压至整流的140伏交流电压的范围内时,通用控制器将第一开关导通,第二开关断开,使得两个发光二极管驱动电路并联连接。当输入电压VIN在整流的180伏交流电压至整流的265伏交流电压的范围内时,通用控制器将第一开关断开,第二开关导通,使得第一发光二极管驱动电路中的发光二极管单元的发光二极管段与第二发光二极管驱动电路串联。When the input voltage V IN is in the range of the rectified 90V AC voltage to the rectified 140V AC voltage, the general controller turns on the first switch and turns off the second switch, so that the two LED driving circuits are connected in parallel. When the input voltage V IN is in the range of the rectified 180V AC voltage to the rectified 265V AC voltage, the general controller turns off the first switch and turns on the second switch, so that the light in the first LED driving circuit emits light The LED segment of the diode unit is connected in series with the second LED driving circuit.

在第一优选实施例中,通用控制器发送一电流设定信号,根据输入电压的变化来控制流过第一发光二极管驱动电路的电流源的电流。在此一优选实施例的修改版本中,有一电流感测信号从第二发光二极管驱动电路的电流源反馈到通用控制器,因此通用控制器可以根据流经第二发光二极管驱动电路的电流源的电流,来控制流过第一发光二极管驱动电路的电流源的电流。In the first preferred embodiment, the general controller sends a current setting signal to control the current flowing through the current source of the first LED driving circuit according to the change of the input voltage. In a modified version of this preferred embodiment, a current sensing signal is fed back to the general controller from the current source of the second LED driver circuit, so that the general controller can current to control the current flowing through the current source of the first light emitting diode driving circuit.

根据本发明的第二优选实施例,两个发光二极管驱动电路共享一个公共电流源,而不是各自具有其自己的电流源。两个发光二极管驱动电路的发光二极管单元和两个开关与上述第一优选实施例相同的方式连接。然而,在每个发光二极管驱动电路中,最后的一个发光二极管段的负端,与一连接到一个共享的公共电流源的电压控制限流元件相串联。According to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two light emitting diode drive circuits share a common current source instead of each having its own current source. The light-emitting diode units and the two switches of the two light-emitting diode driving circuits are connected in the same manner as in the first preferred embodiment described above. However, in each LED driver circuit, the negative terminal of the last LED segment is connected in series with a voltage controlled current limiting element connected to a shared common current source.

在该第二优选实施例中的通用控制器,除了控制两个开关以并联方式连接两个发光二极管驱动电路,或者将第一发光二极管驱动电路中的发光二极管单元的发光二极管段与第二发光二极管驱动电路以串联方式连接之外,并发送出两个各别的电压控制信号,以分别控制连接到共享的公共电流源的两个电压控制限流元件和一个电流设定信号,以控制流过共享的公共电流源的电流。The general-purpose controller in this second preferred embodiment, in addition to controlling two switches to connect two LED driving circuits in parallel, or connecting the LED segments of the LED units in the first LED driving circuit with the second LED driving circuit The diode driver circuits are connected in series and send out two separate voltage control signals to respectively control two voltage controlled current limiting elements connected to a shared common current source and a current setting signal to control the current current through the shared common current source.

本说明书提供附图,使本发明更能进一步的被理解,同时附图也构成本说明书的一部分。该附图显示出了本发明的实施例,并与说明书一起,用来解释本发明原理。The accompanying drawings are provided in this specification so that the present invention can be further understood, and the accompanying drawings also constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention.

图1示出了根据本发明制作的第一优选实施例,使用高电压驱动发光二极管的装置的方块图。在本实施例中,该装置包括两个发光二极管驱动电路和由通用控制器100控制的两个开关SW1和SW2。图1左侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路,包括一发光二极管单元101a与电流源103a连接。图1右侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路,包括一发光二极管单元101b与电流源103b连接。FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an apparatus for driving light-emitting diodes using high voltage according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the device includes two LED driving circuits and two switches SW1 and SW2 controlled by the general controller 100 . The LED driving circuit shown on the left side of FIG. 1 includes an LED unit 101a connected to a current source 103a. The LED driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 1 includes an LED unit 101b connected to the current source 103b.

通用控制器100根据输入电压VIN,控制两个开关SW1和SW2如何导通或断开以连接两个发光二极管驱动电路。如图1所示,每个发光二极管单元中的多个发光二极管被分成多个发光二极管段,每个发光二极管段具有与其相关联的旁路开关。除了第一个和最后一个发光二极管段之外,每个发光二极管段有一个正端和一个负端分别连接到其前面的发光二极管段的负端和其随后的发光二极管段的正端。在第一优选实施例中,左侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路中的电流源103a的电流Ia也由通用控制器100控制。The general controller 100 controls how the two switches SW1 and SW2 are turned on or off to connect the two LED driving circuits according to the input voltage V IN . As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of light emitting diodes in each light emitting diode unit is divided into a plurality of light emitting diode segments, each light emitting diode segment having a bypass switch associated therewith. Except for the first and last LED segments, each LED segment has a positive terminal and a negative terminal connected to the negative terminal of the LED segment preceding it and the positive terminal of the LED segment following it, respectively. In the first preferred embodiment, the current Ia of the current source 103a in the LED driving circuit shown on the left is also controlled by the general controller 100 .

如图1所示,旁路开关的一端连接到与其相关联的发光二极管段的负端,另一端则连接到在其所属的发光二极管驱动电路中的公共节点,该公共节点再连接到电流源103a或103b。发光二极管控制器102a或102b通过检测发光二极管驱动电路的一个或多个节点电压或分支电流,也就是等同于根据施加到相对应的发光二极管单元的输入电压的变化,来控制相对应的发光二极管驱动电路中的旁路开关以旁路绕过相对应的发光二极管单元中的一个或多个发光二极管段。As shown in Figure 1, one end of the bypass switch is connected to the negative end of the LED segment associated with it, and the other end is connected to the common node in the LED driver circuit to which it belongs, and the common node is connected to the current source 103a or 103b. The LED controller 102a or 102b controls the corresponding LED by detecting one or more node voltages or branch currents of the LED driving circuit, which is equivalent to changing the input voltage applied to the corresponding LED unit. A bypass switch in the drive circuit bypasses one or more LED segments in the corresponding LED unit.

在本发明中,两个驱动电路可以包括不同或相同的电路。例如发光二极管单元101a可以与发光二极管单元101b相同或不同,发光二极管单元101a里的发光二极管段的数量可以与发光二极管单元101b里的发光二极管段的数量相同或不同。在发光二极管段里的发光二极管的数量,也可以与其他的发光二极管段里的发光二极管的数量相同或不同。In the present invention, the two driving circuits may comprise different or the same circuits. For example, the LED unit 101a may be the same as or different from the LED unit 101b, and the number of LED segments in the LED unit 101a may be the same or different from the number of LED segments in the LED unit 101b. The number of LEDs in the LED segment can also be the same or different from the number of LEDs in other LED segments.

根据本发明,当输入电压VIN在整流的90伏交流电压至整流的140伏交流电压的范围内时,例如整流的110伏交流电压,开关SW1导通,开关SW2断开,同时电流源103a也被接通,结果将两个发光二极管驱动电路并联连接。According to the present invention, when the input voltage V IN is in the range of the rectified 90V AC voltage to the rectified 140V AC voltage, such as the rectified 110V AC voltage, the switch SW1 is turned on, the switch SW2 is turned off, and the current source 103a is at the same time is also turned on, as a result of which the two LED driver circuits are connected in parallel.

当输入电压VIN处于从整流的180伏交流电压至整流的265伏交流电压的范围内时,例如整流的220伏交流电压,开关SW1断开,开关SW2导通,使发光二极管单元101a的发光二极管段与图1右侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路串联连接。同时,通用控制器100根据输入电压VIN的电压变化控制流过电流源103a的电流Ia。When the input voltage V IN is in the range from the rectified 180V AC voltage to the rectified 265V AC voltage, such as the rectified 220V AC voltage, the switch SW1 is turned off, and the switch SW2 is turned on, so that the light-emitting diode unit 101a emits light. The diode segments are connected in series with the LED driver circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 1 . Meanwhile, the general controller 100 controls the current Ia flowing through the current source 103a according to the voltage variation of the input voltage VIN .

经由直接感测输入电压VIN,或检测相关节点电压,例如开关SW2一端的电压,或发光二极管驱动电路的分支电流,例如电流源103b的电流Ib,可以侦测输入电压VIN的电压变化。开关SW2也可以是诸如二极管的被动开关。The voltage variation of the input voltage V IN can be detected by directly sensing the input voltage V IN , or by detecting the relevant node voltage, such as the voltage at one end of the switch SW2, or the branch current of the LED driving circuit, such as the current Ib of the current source 103b. Switch SW2 may also be a passive switch such as a diode.

根据本发明,当输入电压VIN没有高到足以使图1右侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路导通时,电流源103a会被导通。然而当输入电压VIN高到足够使图1右侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路导通时,电流源103a会被关闭。According to the present invention, when the input voltage V IN is not high enough to turn on the LED driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 1 , the current source 103a is turned on. However, when the input voltage V IN is high enough to turn on the LED driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 1 , the current source 103 a will be turned off.

通用控制器100和电流源103a或103b的操作原理和示例已经在相关的美国专利申请案No.15/496,029中详细公开,该专利申请案通过引用并入本文,并且将不再重复详细说明。The principles and examples of operation of the generic controller 100 and current source 103a or 103b have been disclosed in detail in related US Patent Application No. 15/496,029, which is incorporated herein by reference, and the detailed description will not be repeated.

图2示出了发光二极管控制器102a或102b,如何根据施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压,而控制旁路开关的示例。VLED_IN表示施加到被控制的旁路开关的发光二极管单元的输入电压。该示例显示有N个旁路开关分别连接在发光二极管单元中的N个相关联的发光二极管段。当VLED_IN增高时,旁路开关按照从与第一发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关,到与最后一个发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关的顺序,一个一个依次导通和断开,以增加串联连接在发光二极管单元内的发光二极管段的数量。当VLED_IN降低时,旁路开关也以相反顺序一个一个依次导通和断开,以减少在发光二极管单元中串联连接的发光二极管段的数量。FIG. 2 shows an example of how the LED controller 102a or 102b controls the bypass switch according to the input voltage applied to the LED unit. V LED_IN represents the input voltage applied to the light emitting diode cell of the bypass switch being controlled. The example shows that there are N bypass switches connected to N associated LED segments in the LED unit, respectively. As VLED_IN increases, the bypass switches are turned on and off one by one in order from the bypass switch associated with the first LED segment to the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment to Increase the number of LED segments connected in series within the LED unit. When V LED_IN decreases, the bypass switches are also turned on and off one by one in reverse order to reduce the number of LED segments connected in series in the LED unit.

图3示出了发光二极管控制器102a或102b,如何根据施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压VLED_IN,而控制旁路开关的另一示例。在这个例子中,所有的旁路开关最初时全被导通,然后随着VLED_IN上升,从与第一发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关到与最后一个发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关的顺序,一个一个依次断开,以增加在发光二极管单元中串联的发光二极管段的数量。当VLED_IN下降时,旁路开关则以相反的顺序,一个一个依次导通,以减少在发光二极管单元中串联连接的发光二极管段的数量。应该注意的是,在这个例子中,与最后一个发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关应该一直是导通着。FIG. 3 shows another example of how the LED controller 102a or 102b controls the bypass switch according to the input voltage VLED_IN applied to the LED unit. In this example, all bypass switches are initially turned on, then as VLED_IN rises, from the bypass switch associated with the first LED segment to the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment order, one by one, to increase the number of LED segments connected in series in the LED unit. When V LED_IN falls, the bypass switches are turned on one by one in reverse order to reduce the number of LED segments connected in series in the LED unit. It should be noted that in this example, the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment should always be on.

根据本发明如图4所示,每个旁路开关的两端也可以分别与其相关联的发光二极管段的正端和负端连接。从图4中可以看出,发光二极管单元201a或201b中的每个发光二极管段,都有从发光二极管段的正端连接到负端的相关联的旁路开关。因此,每个发光二极管段可以由发光二极管控制器202a或202b独立而且选择性地控制。According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4 , both ends of each bypass switch may also be connected to the positive and negative ends of its associated LED segment, respectively. As can be seen in Figure 4, each LED segment in LED unit 201a or 201b has an associated bypass switch connected from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the LED segment. Thus, each LED segment can be independently and selectively controlled by the LED controller 202a or 202b.

图5示出了发光二极管控制器202a或202b,如何根据施加到图4所示的发光二极管驱动电路的发光二极管单元的输入电压VLED_IN,而控制旁路开关的示例。在该示例中,所有的旁路开关最初时全被导通,然后随着VLED_IN上升,从与第一发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关到与最后一个发光二极管段相关联的旁路开关的顺序,一个一个依次断开,以增加在发光二极管单元中串联的发光二极管段的数量。当VLED_IN下降时,旁路开关则以相反的顺序,一个一个依次导通,以减少在发光二极管单元中串联连接的发光二极管段的数量。FIG. 5 shows an example of how the LED controller 202a or 202b controls the bypass switch according to the input voltage V LED_IN applied to the LED cells of the LED driver circuit shown in FIG. 4 . In this example, all bypass switches are initially turned on, then as VLED_IN rises, from the bypass switch associated with the first LED segment to the bypass switch associated with the last LED segment order, one by one, to increase the number of LED segments connected in series in the LED unit. When V LED_IN falls, the bypass switches are turned on one by one in reverse order to reduce the number of LED segments connected in series in the LED unit.

图6示出了发光二极管控制器202a或202b,如何根据施加到图4所示的发光二极管驱动电路的发光二极管单元的输入电压VLED_IN,而控制旁路开关的另一示例。在本示例中,发光二极管单元中有15个发光二极管,而且15个发光二极管被分为4个发光二极管段。4个发光二极管段中的发光二极管数量分别配置为1,2,4和8,使得发光二极管控制器可以控制相关联的旁路开关而导通从1到15的任意数量个发光二极管,使其串联连接在发光二极管单元中。FIG. 6 shows another example of how the LED controller 202a or 202b controls the bypass switch according to the input voltage V LED_IN applied to the LED cells of the LED driver circuit shown in FIG. 4 . In this example, there are 15 LEDs in the LED unit, and the 15 LEDs are divided into 4 LED segments. The number of LEDs in the 4 LED segments is configured as 1, 2, 4 and 8, respectively, so that the LED controller can control the associated bypass switch to turn on any number of LEDs from 1 to 15, making it connected in series in the light emitting diode unit.

如前所述,每个发光二极管段可以在图4所示的发光二极管驱动电路中选择性和独立的被控制。在图6所示的例子中,旁路开关不是依顺序地导通或断开。而是根据施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压VLED_IN的电压值下,可以导通发光二极管的适当数量,而导通或断开相关联的旁路开关。As previously mentioned, each LED segment can be selectively and independently controlled in the LED driver circuit shown in FIG. 4 . In the example shown in Figure 6, the bypass switches are not turned on or off sequentially. Instead, according to the voltage value of the input voltage V LED_IN applied to the light emitting diode unit, an appropriate number of light emitting diodes can be turned on, and the associated bypass switch can be turned on or off.

图6中的表格显示如何根据施加到发光二极管单元的输入电压值导通或断开4个相关联的旁路开关。从表中可以看出,当发光二极管输入电压VLED_IN为第1电压位阶时,只有与发光二极管段-1相关联的旁路开关断开。因此,在发光二极管单元中只有一个发光二极管是导电的。当发光二极管输入电压VLED_IN处于为第2电压位阶时,只有与发光二极管段-2相关联的旁路开关断开,并且因为发光二极管段-2只具有两个发光二极管,发光二极管单元中有两个发光二极管导通。The table in Figure 6 shows how the 4 associated bypass switches are turned on or off depending on the value of the input voltage applied to the LED cells. It can be seen from the table that when the LED input voltage V LED_IN is at the first voltage level, only the bypass switch associated with the LED segment-1 is turned off. Therefore, only one light-emitting diode in the light-emitting diode unit is conductive. When the LED input voltage V LED_IN is at the 2nd voltage level, only the bypass switch associated with LED segment-2 is opened, and since LED segment-2 has only two LEDs, the There are two light emitting diodes conducting.

如图6的表所示,可以看出随着VLED_IN在15个不同的电压位阶逐渐增高输入电压值,由于发光二极管控制器选择性的导通或断开旁路开关的组合,结果发光二极管单元中导通的发光二极管为1,2,3,...,或15。同样的,随着VLED_IN在15个不同的电压位阶逐渐减小输入电压值,由于发光二极管控制器选择性的导通或断开旁路开关的组合,结果使得发光二极管单元中有15,14,13,...,或1个发光二极管导通。As shown in the table of Fig. 6, it can be seen that as the input voltage value of V LED_IN increases gradually at 15 different voltage levels, due to the combination of the LED controller selectively turning on or off the bypass switch, the resultant light is emitted. The LEDs that are turned on in the diode unit are 1, 2, 3, . . . , or 15. Similarly, as V LED_IN gradually decreases the input voltage value at 15 different voltage levels, due to the combination of the LED controller selectively turning on or off the bypass switch, the result is that there are 15, 14, 13, ..., or 1 LED is turned on.

图7示出了根据图1所示的本发明的第一优选实施例的修改版本,使用高电压驱动发光二极管的装置的方块图。在本实施例中,该装置包括两个发光二极管驱动电路和由通用控制器700控制的两个开关SW1和SW2。图7左侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路,包括与电流源103a连接的发光二极管单元101a。图7右侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路,包括与电流源703b连接的发光二极管单元101b。FIG. 7 shows a block diagram of an apparatus for driving light-emitting diodes using high voltages according to a modified version of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 . In this embodiment, the device includes two LED driving circuits and two switches SW1 and SW2 controlled by the general controller 700 . The light-emitting diode driving circuit shown on the left side of FIG. 7 includes a light-emitting diode unit 101a connected to a current source 103a. The light-emitting diode driving circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 7 includes a light-emitting diode unit 101b connected to a current source 703b.

从图7中可以看出,电流源703b具有连接到地的电流感测电阻器,并且电流感测电阻器两端的电压值反馈到通用控制器700,作为通用控制器700的电流感测信号,以发送电流设置信号来控制电流源103a。As can be seen from FIG. 7, the current source 703b has a current sensing resistor connected to ground, and the voltage value across the current sensing resistor is fed back to the general controller 700 as a current sensing signal of the general controller 700, The current source 103a is controlled by sending a current setting signal.

如图7所示,除了控制电流源103a之外,本实施例中的通用控制器700接收来自电流源703b的电流感测信号,使得可以通过感测流过电流源703b的电流Ib来决定电流源103a的电流Ia。还可以看出,每个发光二极管段还有相关联的旁路开关从发光二极管段的负端连接到公共节点,公共节点再连接到电流源103a或703b。As shown in FIG. 7, in addition to controlling the current source 103a, the general controller 700 in this embodiment receives a current sensing signal from the current source 703b, so that the current can be determined by sensing the current Ib flowing through the current source 703b The current Ia of the source 103a. It can also be seen that each LED segment also has an associated bypass switch connected from the negative terminal of the LED segment to a common node, which in turn is connected to the current source 103a or 703b.

类似于图1所示的第一优选实施例,在本实施例中,当输入电压VIN处于从整流的90伏交流电压到整流的140伏交流电压的范围内时,例如整流的110伏交流电压,通用控制器700控制开关SW1导通,开关SW2断开,同时电流源103a也被接通。结果将两个发光二极管驱动电路并联连接。Similar to the first preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, when the input voltage V IN is in a range from a rectified 90 VAC voltage to a rectified 140 VAC voltage, eg, a rectified 110 VAC voltage voltage, the general controller 700 controls the switch SW1 to be turned on, the switch SW2 to be turned off, and the current source 103a is also turned on. As a result, the two light-emitting diode drive circuits are connected in parallel.

当输入电压VIN处于从整流的180伏交流电压至整流的265伏交流电压的范围内时,例如整流的220伏交流电压,开关SW1断开,开关SW2导通,使发光二极管单元101a的发光二极管段与图7右侧所示的发光二极管驱动电路串联连接。同时,通用控制器700根据来自电流源703b的电流感测信号,控制流过电流源103a的电流Ia。When the input voltage V IN is in the range from the rectified 180V AC voltage to the rectified 265V AC voltage, such as the rectified 220V AC voltage, the switch SW1 is turned off, and the switch SW2 is turned on, so that the light-emitting diode unit 101a emits light. The diode segments are connected in series with the LED driver circuit shown on the right side of FIG. 7 . Meanwhile, the general controller 700 controls the current Ia flowing through the current source 103a according to the current sensing signal from the current source 703b.

However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 , in the two LED driving circuits of the device, the two ends of each bypass switch in the LED unit 201a or 201b are respectively connected to the LED segment associated with it. Positive and negative terminals are connected. Each LED segment can be independently and selectively controlled by the LED controller 202a or 202b.
