负荷模块采用两个电阻并联设置, 并通过第一可控开关来控制第二电阻是 否投入使用, 当 LED灯条负端电压大于或等于预设的阈值时, 控制模块控制第 一可控开关导通, 此时第二电阻投入使用, 负荷模块的电阻值等于两个电阻并 联后的阻值, 该阻值小于第一可控开关断开时负荷模块的阻值(即第一电阻的 阻值), 采用两个电阻并联的技术方案, 只需要控制一个可控开关, 控制方式筒 单, 有利于降低开发难度和硬件成本。
第一比较器可以快速判断 LED灯条的负端电压是否超出阈值, 当超过阈值 时第一比较器的输出电压反转, 比如原来输出的低电平信号, 当 LED灯条的负 端电压超过阈值时, 第一比较器的输出高电平信号。 这样监控单元就可以根据 第一比较器输出电压的变化判断出 LED灯珠短路故障, 进而控制负荷模块降低 阻值。
当负荷模块的阻值降低时, 流经 LED灯条的电流幅值会增加, 其显示亮度 随之增高; 为了保证该 LED灯条的亮度与其它正常的 LED灯条的亮度接近,监 控单元的 PWM占空比调节组件同时输出占空比较小的 PWM调光信号给恒流驱 动芯片的侦测模块,使该 LED灯条流过的电流平均值与其它 LED灯条保持一致。

一种背光驱动电路的驱动方法,所述背光驱动电路包括 LED灯条、驱动 LED 灯条的电源模块, 控制 LED灯条和电源模块的恒流驱动芯片, 所述恒流驱动芯 片包括驱动电源模块的主控模块、 调节 LED灯条亮度的侦测模块, 所述侦测模 块的输入端耦合到所述 LED灯条的负端, 输出端连接有阻值可调的负荷模块; 所述驱动方法包括步骤:
A、 设定保护的阈值;
B、 监测 LED灯条负端电压; 如果 LED灯条负端电压大于或等于预设的阈 值; 降低负荷模块的阻值; 否则, 维持负荷模块的阻值。
进一步的, 所述步骤 B 中还包括: 在降低负荷模块的阻值的同时, 降低侦 测模块驱动信号的占空比,使流经该 LED灯条的有效电流与其他正常的 LED灯 条保持一致。 当负荷模块的阻值降低时, 流经 LED灯条的电流幅值会增加, 其 显示亮度随之增高;为了保证该 LED灯条的亮度与其它正常的 LED灯条的亮度 接近,监控单元的 PWM占空比调节组件同时输出占空比较小的 PWM调光信号 给恒流驱动芯片的侦测模块,使该 LED灯条流过的电流平均值与其它 LED灯条 保持一致。
经研究, 电流幅值大小由连接到侦测模块的基准电压 V和与串接在侦测模 块和接地端的电阻阻值 R决定的, 流经 LED灯条的电流大小 I=V1/R。 而侦测 模块可以控制流经 LED灯条电流的占空比,达到调节 LED背光亮度的效果; 电 源模块输出的电压大小 Vo与流过 LED灯条的电流大小有关, LED灯条流过的 电流幅值越大, LED灯条所需要的驱动电压 Vo也越大。 Vo=Vin/(l-D),其中 Vin 是电源模块的输入电压, D为电源模块的占空比。
当某一 LED灯条中出现一颗 LED短路时, 该 LED灯条负端就会有多余的 电压(约 6V )加在侦测模块内部, 导致恒流驱动芯片温度上升, 影响整个电路 的稳定性。 本发明由于增加了控制模块和负荷模块, 当 LED灯条中的某个或多 个 LED灯珠出现短路时, 其负端的电压将会上升, 因此可以将一个或多个 LED 灯珠短路时, LED灯条的负端电压作为阈值, 当控制模块监测到 LED灯条负端 电压大于或等于预设的阈值时, 控制负荷模块降低阻值, 根据 I=V1/R, 负荷模 块的阻值降低, 流过 LED灯条的电流幅值增加, 多余的电压就会均勾分配到剩 余的各颗 LED灯珠上, LED灯条负端电压就会减小, 这样加载到侦测模块的电 压也随之减小, 芯片的发热量也会降低。 因此, 本发明可以在 LED灯珠短路时 降低恒流驱动芯片的功率损耗、 提高了电路的稳定性。
