Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to various methods and circuits for controlling a light emitting diode ("LED") current.
- the present invention specifically relates to a regulation of a peak amperage and a valley amperage of a LED current.
- LEDs are being used more and more in various applications such as, for example, backlighting, traffic lights, signage, automobiles and illumination. It is well known that a light output of a LED is directly dependent upon a current flowing through the LED. A LED current control circuit is therefore used to regulate the current flow through the LEDs to ideally maintain a constant current during all operating conditions.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a known LED current control circuit 20 employing a MOSFET switch Ql, a diode Dl, an inductor output filter LI, and a capacitive output filter CI for controlling a flow of a LED current I LED1 through a LED network LEDl, LED2.
- MOSFET switch Ql Whenever MOSFET switch Ql is turned on, circuit 20 controls an increasing flow of LED current I LE DI from a power source ("PS") 21 through LED network LEDl, LED2.
- PS power source
- MOSFET switch Ql is turned off, circuit 20 controls a decreasing flow of LED current ILEDI through LED network LEDl, LED2.
- This regulation of LED current ILEDI is accomplished by a switch control circuit that employs an operational amplifier Ul, a pulse width modulation (“PWM”) comparator U2, a gate driver GDI, a sense resistor Rsl, and a compensation RC network including an input impedance (“Zi”) 22, and a feedback impedance (“Zf ') 23.
- PWM pulse width modulation
- Zi input impedance
- Zf ' feedback impedance
- a compensation voltage VC O MP generated by input impedance 22 and feedback impedance 23 is applied to an inverting input of operational amplifier Ul, and a reference voltage VREFI as supplied by a reference voltage source (“RFS" ) 24 is applied to a non-inverting input of operational amplifier Ul.
- Operational amplifier Ul compares compensation voltage VCOMP and reference voltage VREFI to yield an error voltage VERROR, which is an enlarged difference between compensation voltage V CO MP and reference voltage VREFI that is applied to a non-inverting input of PWM comparator U2.
- a ramp voltage VRAMP as supplied by a ramp voltage source (“RPS") 25 is applied at an inverting input of comparator U2, which compares error voltage VERROR and ramp voltage VRAMP to yield a switching control voltage Vswci for periodically enabling and disabling MOSFET switch Ql via gate driver GDI .
- the aforementioned current regulation of LED current I L E D maintains LED current I LEDI at a mean amperage as illustrated in FIG. 2.
- LED current I LEDI can experience an overshoot or an undershoot as illustrated in FIG. 2 whenever a change occurs in the input line of power source PS or in a load of the LED network LEDl, LED2.
- LEDs are frequently non-linear devices, which makes it difficult to design the RC network for optimal performance.
- the present invention addresses the shortcomings with the prior art by providing a LED current control method and circuit for accurately and quickly regulating the mean amperage of LED current I LED during all operating conditions including a change in the input line of a power source or in a change in a load of the LED network.
- One form of the present invention is a LED current control method for regulating a peak amperage and a valley amperage of a LED current flowing through one or more LEDs.
- an upper trip voltage and a lower trip voltage are established as control crossover thresholds, and a LED current sensing voltage representative of a flow of the LED current through the LED(s) is established.
- a control of an increase in the LED current from the valley amperage to the peak amperage occurs in response to each crossover of the lower trip voltage by the LED current sensing voltage in a negative direction
- a control of a decrease of the LED current from the peak amperage to the valley amperage occurs in response to each crossover of the upper trip voltage by the LED current sensing voltage in a positive direction.
- a second form of the present invention is a LED current control circuit employing a hysteretic comparator, a LED current sensor, and a switch-mode converter for regulating a peak amperage and a valley amperage of a LED current flowing through one or more LEDs.
- the LED current sensor establishes a LED current sensing voltage representative of a flow of the LED current through the LED(s).
- the hysteretic comparator establishes an upper trip voltage and a lower trip voltage as control crossover thresholds that are compared to the LED current sensing voltage.
- the switch-mode converter controls an increase in the LED current from the valley amperage to the peak amperage in response to each crossover of the lower trip voltage by the LED current sensing voltage in a negative direction, and controls a decrease of the LED current from the peak amperage to the valley amperage in response to each crossover of the upper trip voltage by the LED current sensing voltage in a positive direction.
