Light emitting diode soft starting circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light emitting diode soft starting circuit, espespecially one kind is applied to AC-DC LED drive currents electricity
The light emitting diode soft starting circuit on road.
Background technology
Fig. 1 shows that one kind is existing and removes ripple light emitting diode (LED) drive circuit, including each component as depicted, wherein,
Current source IAC carries ripple, and node CMPOUT is the output end of comparator CMP, when the voltage of node CMPOUT is high,
Switch SU conductings, when the voltage of node CMPOUT is low, switch SD conductings.Additionally, also include NMOSFET power tube M1,
Error amplifier EA, and as the current source IU and current source ID in internal current reference source.
The implementation method for removing ripple is the non-inverting input by controlling error amplifier EA, that is, the voltage line of node VC
Ripple, and then control the reverse input end of error amplifier EA, that is, the voltage ripple of node CS so that flow through the electricity of LED
Flow liner ripple and node VC voltage ripple positive correlations.Therefore, it is existing to go ripple LED drive schemes by node VC discharge and recharges
Current source IU and current source ID is controlled in less current value, to realize less current ripples.What this control method was brought asks
Topic is that the low current charge of node VC current over pulse phenomenon easily occurs in start-up course, and then micro- sudden strain of a muscle interference is produced to human eye.
Fig. 2 shows each key node waveform timing chart that Fig. 1 is gone in ripple LED driving circuit, it is assumed that go defeated after ripple
The peak-to-peak value for going out current ripples is 0, it is stable after the peak-to-peak value of LED fluctuate close 0 near reference voltage VREF.Go when existing
On ripple LED drive circuit after electricity, because node VC voltages are in high potential, power tube M1 is operated in linear zone, now should
Ripple LED drive circuit is removed without going ripple function.Because the node LED voltage of Fig. 1 is less than reference voltage VREF, node CMPOUT
Voltage is 0, and switch SD conductings, node VC is discharged by current source ID.
Interval in time point t1-t2, as the node VIN voltage of Fig. 1 is gradually increasing, power tube M1 is operated in saturation region, this
When go ripple loop set up.Because less node VC voltages can not provide the corresponding node CS voltages of current source IAC, cause
The current potential of node LED starts suddenly to rise.
Interval in time point t2-t3, node LED potential durations rise, and node LED voltage is more than reference voltage VREF, node
CMPOUT is output as high level, and switch SU conductings, internal current source IU starts to give node VC chargings, so that node VC is electric
Position begins to ramp up.
At the time point t3 moment, node VC voltages rise to and provide enough the corresponding node CS voltages of current source IAC, therefore save
The voltage of point LED does not continue to rise.
Interval in time point t3-t4, node VC voltages continue to raise.The corresponding node CS voltages of current source IAC are compared, this
Shi Jiedian VC voltages are higher so that node LED voltage begins to decline.On the other hand, the voltage of node LED still above
Reference voltage VREF, therefore node VC voltages continue to rising.
At the time point t4 moment, node LED voltage is equal to reference voltage VREF, and node VC voltages stop rising.However, this
When the node CS voltages that produce of higher node VC voltages be much larger than the corresponding node CS voltages of current source IAC, cause node
LED voltage continuous decrease, causes node CMPOUT to be output as low level, and internal current source ID is discharged to node VC.
It is interval in time point t4-t5, it is existing to go ripple LED drive circuit to adjust through loop itself, it is final stable in closed loop work
Make a little.
As described above, whole start-up course, due to node VC voltage overshoots, causes the electric current for flowing through LED also to produce overshoot therewith,
LED certainly will be caused to have micro- flashing as causing the harmful effect to human eye vision.Therefore, how providing one kind can remove ripple and not
The light emitting diode soft starting circuit of the micro- elephants that flash of LED, as each dealer problem urgently to be resolved hurrily can be caused.
