Description
本發明是一種背光驅動裝置,特別是一種具高線性調光的發光二極體背光驅動裝置。The invention is a backlight driving device, in particular to a light-emitting diode backlight driving device with high linearity dimming.
請參閱第1圖,為習知發光二極體背光驅動系統之概要示意圖。於一般操作下,當調光訊號CN為高電位(邏輯“1”)時,發光二極體背光驅動系統1會正常操作,而當調光訊號CN為低電位(邏輯“0”)時,發光二極體背光驅動系統1會停止對發光二極體LED供電。其中,當調光訊號CN由低電位轉態為高電位時,發光二極體LED上的低電流會使回授訊號Vf 之電位低下而與參考電壓Vr 之電位差距過大,進而促使誤差放大器12產生過多的補償電流Ie ,並使得控制電路11產生較大的工作週期。因此,於電感L上會感應出較高的突波電流,且突波電流流經發光二極體LED上而造成輸出電壓VO 產生非預期的大電壓。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a conventional LED backlight driving system. Under normal operation, when the dimming signal CN is high (logic "1"), the LED backlight driving system 1 will operate normally, and when the dimming signal CN is low (logic "0"), The LED backlight driving system 1 stops supplying power to the LEDs. Wherein, when the dimming signal CN is turned from a low potential to a high potential, the low current on the LED of the LED causes the potential of the feedback signal V f to be lowered and the potential difference with the reference voltage V r is too large, thereby causing an error. amplifier 12 generates excessive compensation current I e, and the control circuit 11 so that a greater duty cycle. Therefore, a high surge current is induced on the inductor L, and a surge current flows through the LED of the LED to cause an undesirably large voltage of the output voltage V O .
此外,當調光訊號CN為低電位時,位於輸出端的穩壓電容CO 會對發光二極體LED放電,且當調光訊號CN的切換頻率變快時,位於輸出端的穩壓電容CO 對發光二極體LED放電所造成之影響便會加劇。此乃因為當調光訊號CN的切換頻率變快時亦代表穩壓電容CO 可放電之時間被縮短,而致使穩壓電容CO 上之殘餘電流於調光訊號CN的切換時間內無完全流光(即,於調光訊號CN關閉時,穩壓電容CO 開始對發光二極體LED放電,但尚未放完電時調光訊號CN又被開啟)。因此,造成在調光訊號CN關閉時仍會有殘餘電流通過發光二極體LED,而影響到調光的線性度。In addition, when the dimming signal CN is low, the voltage stabilizing capacitor C O at the output end discharges the LED of the LED, and when the switching frequency of the dimming signal CN becomes faster, the voltage stabilizing capacitor C O at the output end The effect on the discharge of LEDs is exacerbated. This is because when the switching frequency of the dimming signal CN becomes faster, the time during which the voltage stabilizing capacitor C O can be discharged is shortened, and the residual current on the voltage stabilizing capacitor C O is not completely completed during the switching time of the dimming signal CN. Streaming (ie, when the dimming signal CN is turned off, the stabilizing capacitor C O starts to discharge the LED of the LED, but the dimming signal CN is turned on again when the power is not discharged). Therefore, when the dimming signal CN is turned off, residual current still passes through the LEDs, which affects the linearity of the dimming.
有鑑於此,本發明提出一種發光二極體背光驅動裝置,當調光訊號由低電位轉態至高電位時,藉由調整模組調整並減緩流經發光二極體的電流,以平衡當調光訊號為低電位時殘餘電流所造成的影響,且減少突波電流的產生,來提高調光的線性度。In view of the above, the present invention provides a backlight driving device for a light-emitting diode. When the dimming signal is switched from a low potential to a high potential, the adjustment module adjusts and slows the current flowing through the light-emitting diode to balance the adjustment. The optical signal is the effect of residual current at low potential, and reduces the generation of surge current to improve the linearity of dimming.

The light-emitting diode backlight driving device includes a control module, an error amplifier and an adjustment module. The control module receives the first dimming signal, the error signal, and the sensing signal from the LED circuit, and generates a control signal to the light emitting according to the received first dimming signal, the error signal and the sensing signal. Polar body circuit. The negative end of the error amplifier receives the feedback signal from the LED circuit, the forward end of the error amplifier receives the reference signal, and the error amplifier outputs the error signal according to the received feedback signal and the reference signal. The adjustment module receives the first dimming signal and the feedback signal, and outputs a reference signal according to the first dimming signal and the feedback signal, wherein each period of the first dimming signal includes an on period and a off period, when the first When the dimming signal is in the on period, the potential of the reference signal is raised to a reference potential with time, and when the first dimming signal is in the off period, the potential of the reference signal follows the potential of the feedback signal.
綜上所述,根據本發明之發光二極體背光驅動裝置,藉由調整模組來控制誤差放大器所接收的參考訊號,以減緩發光二極體於調光訊號由低電位轉態為高電位時所流經的電流,來平衡當調光訊號為低電位時穩壓電容對發光二極體放電所造成之殘餘電流影響,且於調光訊號切為低電位時,誤差放大器之二輸入端不會有大電壓差產生,因而可成功達到減少突波電流與增加調光電流之線性度。In summary, according to the LED backlight driving device of the present invention, the reference signal received by the error amplifier is controlled by the adjustment module to slow down the dimming of the LED from the low potential to the high potential. The current flowing through to balance the residual current caused by the voltage-suppressing capacitor on the discharge of the light-emitting diode when the dimming signal is low, and the second input of the error amplifier when the dimming signal is cut to a low potential There is no large voltage difference, so the linearity of reducing the surge current and increasing the dimming current can be successfully achieved.

在本實施例中,第一調光訊號DIM1用以控制控制模組21輸出控制訊號Vc 與否,藉以控制發光二極體電路3之啟閉。其中,第一調光訊號DIM1為數位訊號,且第一調光訊號DIM1之每一週期皆包含導通期間ON和截止期間OFF,如第5圖所示。於此,以第一調光訊號DIM1於高電位之狀態作為導通期間ON,並以第一調光訊號DIM1於低電位之狀態作為截止期間OFF來進行以下的所有說明,然本發明並不以此為限。此外,第一調光訊號DIM1之責任週期(Duty Cycle)等同於其導通期間ON佔其週期的百分比。於此,以第一調光訊號DIM1之責任週期寬度為50%,即以導通時間ON為1/2週期為例進行說明,然本發明並不以此為限,第一調光訊號DIM1之責任週期端視調光亮度之需求而定。In this embodiment, the first dimming signal DIM1 is used to control whether the control module 21 outputs the control signal V c or not to control the opening and closing of the LED circuit 3 . The first dimming signal DIM1 is a digital signal, and each period of the first dimming signal DIM1 includes an ON period during the ON period and an OFF period during the OFF period, as shown in FIG. 5. Here, the first dimming signal DIM1 is turned on during the high-potential state, and all of the following descriptions are made with the first dimming signal DIM1 being turned off during the low-potential state. However, the present invention does not This is limited. In addition, the Duty Cycle of the first dimming signal DIM1 is equivalent to the percentage of ON during its ON period. In this case, the duty cycle width of the first dimming signal DIM1 is 50%, that is, the ON time is 1/2 cycle as an example, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the first dimming signal DIM1 The duty cycle depends on the need for dimming brightness.
請搭配參閱第2圖與第5圖,當第一調光訊號DIM1於導通期間ON時,發光二極體電路3開啟並發光,且調整模組23輸出之參考訊號Vref 的電位會隨時間緩緩充電提升至一參考電位V1。而當第一調光訊號DIM1於截止期間OFF時,發光二極體電路3關閉而不發光,且參考訊號Vref 的電位將會追隨回授訊號Vfb 的電位,即,此時參考訊號Vref 的電位將會隨回授訊號Vfb 的電位變化而變化,以避免在第一調光訊號DIM1由截止期間OFF切換為導通期間ON時,誤差放大器之二輸入端的電位相差過大而輸出過大的誤差訊號Ierr ,造成發光二極體電路3產生突波電流而影響發光二極體電路3的發光品質。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 , when the first dimming signal DIM1 is ON during the on period, the LED circuit 3 is turned on and emits light, and the potential of the reference signal V ref output by the adjustment module 23 is timed.

於此,當第一開關S1導通且第二開關S2開路時,第一節點N1之電位可藉由第一電位V1經由第一電阻R1與第一電容C1慢慢充電至第一電位。而當第一開關S1開路且第二開關S2導通時,第一節點N1之電位將隨回授訊號Vfb 變化。此外,第二電阻R2是用以防止雜訊,故其使用之電阻值較低。Here, when the first switch S1 is turned on and the second switch S2 is open, the potential of the first node N1 can be slowly charged to the first potential via the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1 by the first potential V1.

於此,第二電容C2可稱為穩壓電容。此外,感測訊號IS 為流經第三電阻R3之電流訊號,而第四電阻R4為發光二極體電流ILED 之感應電阻,因此,回授訊號Vfb 為流經發光二極體LED之發光二極體電流ILED 於第四電阻R4上所形成的電壓訊號。Here, the second capacitor C2 may be referred to as a voltage stabilizing capacitor.

請參閱第5圖,為本發明之第一調光訊號、發光二極體電流與平均電流的關係概要示意圖。由於已知當第一調光訊號DIM1處於截止期間OFF時,第二電容C2會以RC方式對發光二極體LED放電,即產生殘餘電流A通過發光二極體LED,此殘餘電流A如第5圖左斜區域部分所示。故本發明為了消除殘餘電流A對調光的線性度之影響,而利用一調整模組23來改變誤差放大器22所接收的參考訊號Vref 之電位,即於調整模組23中使參考訊號Vref 以RC充電方式充電至一參考的第一電位V1來平衡殘餘電流A的影響。Please refer to FIG. 5 , which is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the first dimming signal, the LED current and the average current according to the present invention. It is known that when the first dimming signal DIM1 is OFF during the off period, the second capacitor C2 discharges the LED body in an RC manner, that is, generates a residual current A through the LED, and the residual current A is as 5 is shown in the left oblique section. Therefore, in order to eliminate the influence of the residual current A on the linearity of the dimming, the adjustment module 23 is used to change the potential of the reference signal V ref received by the error amplifier 22, that is, the reference signal V is adjusted in the adjustment module 23. ref RC charge charged in a manner to a first reference potential V1 to balance the influence of the residual current a.
由於當第一調光訊號DIM1處於導通期間ON時,參考訊號Vref 之電位是以RC充電方式慢慢增加至第一電位V1,故發光二極體電流ILED 亦以RC充電方式慢慢增加,而與原先習知的固定參考訊號Vref 之方式相比,發光二極體電流ILED 有部分電流B被消除,如第5圖右斜部分所示。因此,因此藉由第一調光訊號DIM1處於導通期間ON時減少部分電流B來補償當第一調光訊號DIM1處於截止期間OFF時殘餘電流A的影響,即可使發光二極體LED上之平均電流Iavg 維持於預設值,而達到高線性度的調光效果。When the first dimming signal DIM1 is ON during the ON period, the potential of the reference signal V ref is gradually increased to the first potential V1 by the RC charging mode, so the LED current I LED is gradually increased by the RC charging mode. , compared with the original conventional fixed reference signal V ref of the embodiment, the light emitting diode current I LED current part B is removed, as shown in FIG. 5 right oblique portion. Therefore, by reducing the partial current B when the first dimming signal DIM1 is in the ON period, the residual current A is compensated when the first dimming signal DIM1 is OFF during the off period, so that the LED can be made on the LED. The average current I avg is maintained at a preset value to achieve a high linearity dimming effect.
綜上,復參閱第3圖,當第一調光訊號DIM1處於導通期間ON時,第一開關S1與第三開關S3導通,且由於第二調光訊號DIM2之相位相反於第一調光訊號DIM1,故由第二調光訊號DIM2控制之第二開關S2開路,因此,此時參考訊號Vref 之電位會隨時間慢慢的以RC充電方式(於此,為利用第一電阻R1與第一電容C1)達到第一電位V1,故在穩定的情況下,此時發光二極體電流ILED 由參考訊號Vref 之電位除以第四電阻R4之值所決定。而當第一調光訊號DIM1開始切換為截止期間OFF時,第一開關S1與第三開關S3開路且第二開關S2導通,此時將會暫時切斷誤差放大器22並保留切換時的工作點,又,此時參考訊號Vref 之電位會隨著回授訊號Vfb 之電位變化,故參考訊號Vref 可藉由感測回授訊號Vfb 來得知發光二極體LED上之發光二極體電流ILED ,因此,當第一調光訊號DIM1再次由截止期間OFF切換至導通期間ON時,參考訊號Vref 之電位將會從回授訊號Vfb 之電位處開始慢慢以RC充電方式充電至第一電位V1,且發光二極體電流ILED 亦隨參考訊號Vref 之電位的增加方式慢慢增加至穩定電流,而可成功達到高線性度的調光效果。In summary, referring to FIG. 3, when the first dimming signal DIM1 is in the ON period, the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 are turned on, and since the phase of the second dimming signal DIM2 is opposite to the first dimming signal. DIM1, so the second switch S2 controlled by the second dimming signal DIM2 is open, therefore, the potential of the reference signal V ref will be slowly charged with RC in time (in this case, the first resistor R1 and the first A capacitor C1) reaches the first potential V1, so in the case of stability, the LED current I LED is determined by dividing the potential of the reference signal V ref by the value of the fourth resistor R4 . When the first dimming signal DIM1 starts to switch to the OFF period, the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 are open and the second switch S2 is turned on. At this time, the error amplifier 22 is temporarily cut off and the operating point at the time of switching is retained. Moreover, at this time, the potential of the reference signal V ref changes with the potential of the feedback signal V fb , so the reference signal V ref can be used to sense the light-emitting diode on the LED of the LED by sensing the feedback signal V fb . The body current I LED , therefore, when the first dimming signal DIM1 is switched from the OFF period to the ON period, the potential of the reference signal V ref will gradually start from the potential of the feedback signal V fb by the RC charging mode. The battery is charged to the first potential V1, and the LED current I LED is gradually increased to a stable current as the potential of the reference signal V ref increases, and the high linearity dimming effect can be successfully achieved.

In the embodiment, the LED backlight driving device 2 further includes an operational amplifier 231. Wherein the positive terminal of the operational amplifier 231 of the error amplifier 22 is connected to the negative terminal of the diode to the light emitting circuit 3 of the third node N3, and the feedback signal V fb received from the third node N3. The negative terminal of the operational amplifier 231 and its output are electrically connected to the second terminal of the second switch S2.
於此,運算放大器231之負向端直接連接至其輸出端以構成一單增益緩衝器(Unit-Gain Buffer,或稱電壓隨耦器 ,Voltage Follower)之結構,來增強所接收的回授訊號Vfb ,並降低雜訊。Herein, the negative terminal of the operational amplifier 231 is directly connected to its output terminal to form a structure of a single gain buffer (Unit-Gain Buffer, or Voltage Follower) to enhance the received feedback signal. V fb, and reduce noise.
請參閱第7圖,為依據本發明一實施例之發光二極體背光驅動裝置實施之責任週期變化對發光二極體電流變化之關係圖。可明顯看出依據本發明一實施例之發光二極體背光驅動裝置實施的發光二極體背光驅動器在第一調光訊號之頻率越高(如1KHz)的狀態下時,其發光二極體電流的線性度明顯較習知的發光二極體背光驅動裝置之線性度更好。Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a diagram showing the relationship between the duty cycle change of the LED backlight driving device and the current change of the LED according to an embodiment of the invention. It can be clearly seen that the LED backlight driver implemented by the LED backlight driving device according to an embodiment of the present invention has a light-emitting diode when the frequency of the first dimming signal is higher (for example, 1 KHz). The linearity of the current is significantly better than that of the conventional LED backlight driver.
綜上所述,根據本發明之發光二極體背光驅動裝置,藉由調整模組來控制誤差放大器所接收的參考訊號,以減緩發光二極體於調光訊號由截止期間轉態為導通期間時所流經的電流,來平衡當第一調光訊號於截止期間時第二電容對發光二極體放電所造成之殘餘電流影響,且當第一調光訊號切換為截止期間時,誤差放大器之二輸入端不會有大電壓差產生,因而可成功達到減少突波電流與增加調光電流之線性度。In summary, according to the LED backlight driving device of the present invention, the reference signal received by the error amplifier is controlled by the adjustment module to slow down the period during which the dimming signal is turned from the off period to the on period during the off period. The current flowing through to balance the residual current caused by the discharge of the second capacitor to the light-emitting diode when the first dimming signal is turned off, and the error amplifier when the first dimming signal is switched to the off period The second input does not have a large voltage difference, so the linearity of reducing the surge current and increasing the dimming current can be successfully achieved.
