- PWM chopping dimming is a very cost-effective dimming drive solution, which can achieve a dimming depth of one thousandth or even one ten-thousandth deeper in dimming depth, thereby meeting various dimming needs.
- the brightness of the lamp will become brighter; but because the change of these two PWM dimming signals just happens to fall in the discharge period of the inductor, as shown in the dotted period in the above figure (the working frequency of the inductor is determined by another), the current of the inductor (also the current flowing through the lamp bead) will not increase, so the brightness of the lamp bead will not change. In this case, it is necessary to wait until the effective high level of the next PWM dimming signal falls in the charging period of the inductor. At this time, the current of the inductor directly works according to the current corresponding to the next PWM dimming signal, that is, the current directly jumps and increases, and the brightness of the lamp bead also increases. The direct jump to become brighter is called the stutter (jitter) in dimming. If the changes of multiple consecutive PWM dimming signals fall during the discharge period of the inductor, the stutter will be more obvious.

Now, an excellent smart lighting will require its dimming drive circuit to have a silky dimming effect, so that the overall visual effect will be more comfortable and more in line with the human eye's optical requirements; that is, the dimming effect requires no jitter at any brightness and dimming process, because light jitter will give people a sense of danger. PWM chopping dimming is a very cost-effective dimming drive solution, which can achieve a dimming depth of one thousandth or even one ten-thousandth deeper in dimming depth, thereby meeting various dimming needs.
但如果前后两个PWM调光信号的变化正好落在电感的放电时段,此时实际上电感的电流不会增大,灯的亮度也不会变化。请参见图1所示,下图中,前一PWM调光信号的有效高电平持续到a位置,后一PWM调光信号的有效高电平持续到b位置,即前后两个PWM调光信号的有效高电平的长度从a位置变化到b位置,有效高电平的长度增长了,理论上灯的亮度会变更亮一点;但因为这两个PWM调光信号的变化正好落在电感的放电时段,如上图中虚线时段所示(电感的工作频率由另外决定),此时实际上电感的电流(也是流经灯珠的电流)不会增大,所以灯珠的亮度不会变化。如此,则要等到后面的PWM调光信号的有效高电平落在电感的充电时段时,此时电感的电流则直接按后面的PWM调光信号对应的电流进行工作,即电流直接跳跃增大,灯珠的亮度也
直接跳跃变得更亮,此则为调光中的顿挫(抖动);如果连续多个PWM调光信号的变化落在电感的放电时段,这种顿挫则是更明显。However, if the change of the two PWM dimming signals just happens to fall in the discharge period of the inductor, the current of the inductor will not increase and the brightness of the lamp will not change. Please refer to Figure 1. In the figure below, the effective high level of the previous PWM dimming signal continues to position a, and the effective high level of the next PWM dimming signal continues to position b, that is, the length of the effective high level of the two PWM dimming signals changes from position a to position b, and the length of the effective high level increases. In theory, the brightness of the lamp will become brighter; but because the change of these two PWM dimming signals just happens to fall in the discharge period of the inductor, as shown in the dotted period in the above figure (the working frequency of the inductor is determined by another), the current of the inductor (also the current flowing through the lamp bead) will not increase, so the brightness of the lamp bead will not change. In this case, it is necessary to wait until the effective high level of the next PWM dimming signal falls in the charging period of the inductor. At this time, the current of the inductor directly works according to the current corresponding to the next PWM dimming signal, that is, the current directly jumps and increases, and the brightness of the lamp bead also increases. The direct jump to become brighter is called the stutter (jitter) in dimming. If the changes of multiple consecutive PWM dimming signals fall during the discharge period of the inductor, the stutter will be more obvious.
对此,一个直接对应的解决方案就是检测判断PWM调光信号的有效高电平时间以及电感的充电时段和放电时段,让PWM调光信号的有效高电平时间尽量落在电感的充电时段,但很显然,这个方案的具体落实是异乎寻常的难。In this regard, a direct corresponding solution is to detect and determine the effective high-level time of the PWM dimming signal and the charging and discharging periods of the inductor, so that the effective high-level time of the PWM dimming signal falls as much as possible during the charging period of the inductor. However, it is obvious that the specific implementation of this solution is extremely difficult.

本申请提出,如果尽量提高PWM斩波调光电路的占空比,例如极端理想状态100%,即提高PWM斩波调光电路的输出电压与输入电压的比值,如此则可以尽量减少电感的放电时段,请参见图2虚线时段所示,这样也就可以比较容易的尽量避免PWM调光信号的变化落在电感的放电时段,从而减少调光的顿挫。
The present application proposes that if the duty cycle of the PWM chopper dimming circuit is increased as much as possible, for example, 100% in the extreme ideal state, that is, the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage of the PWM chopper dimming circuit is increased, the discharge period of the inductor can be minimized as much as possible, as shown in the dotted period in Figure 2. In this way, it is also relatively easy to avoid the change of the PWM dimming signal falling within the discharge period of the inductor, thereby reducing the dimming jerks.
请参阅图3所示,本申请第一实施方式提供一种可调光驱动电路,包括:Referring to FIG. 3 , a first embodiment of the present application provides a dimmable driving circuit, including:
前级变换器10,与外部电源耦接,输出第一电压V1;The front-stage converter 10 is coupled to an external power source and outputs a first voltage V1;
调光驱动模块20,与前级变换器10和外部负载70均耦接,接收第一电压V1,输出第二电压V2,驱动外部负载70工作;The dimming driving module 20 is coupled to the front-stage converter 10 and the external load 70, receives the first voltage V1, outputs the second voltage V2, and drives the external load 70 to work;
第一检测电路30,与前级变换器10耦接,接收第一电压V1,输出表征第一电压V1的第一检测信号ADC_V1;The first detection circuit 30 is coupled to the previous converter 10, receives the first voltage V1, and outputs a first detection signal ADC_V1 representing the first voltage V1;
第二检测电路40,与调光驱动模块20耦接,接收第二电压V2,输出表征第二电压V2的第二检测信号ADC_V2;The second detection circuit 40 is coupled to the dimming driving module 20, receives the second voltage V2, and outputs a second detection signal ADC_V2 representing the second voltage V2;
主控制模块50,与第一检测电路30、第二检测电路40、前级变换器10均耦接,接收第一检测信号ADC_V1、第二检测信号ADC_V2,输出调节信号DAC_ADJ,发送给前级变换器10,前级变换器10调节第一电压V1的数值,第二电压V2与第一电压V1的比值维持在预设值。The main control module 50 is coupled to the first detection circuit 30, the second detection circuit 40, and the pre-stage converter 10, receives the first detection signal ADC_V1 and the second detection signal ADC_V2, outputs the adjustment signal DAC_ADJ, and sends it to the pre-stage converter 10. The pre-stage converter 10 adjusts the value of the first voltage V1, and the ratio of the second voltage V2 to the first voltage V1 is maintained at a preset value.
其中,第一电压V1提供给调光驱动模块20,亦可以称为调光驱动模块20的输入电压。第二电压V2从调光驱动模块20输出,亦可以称为调光驱动模块20的输出电压,施加到外部负载70上,亦可以称为负载电压。在一些实施例中,外部负载70为LED灯珠,多个或多组LED灯珠串联和/或并联均可;第二电压V2施加到LED灯珠的负极,LED灯珠的正极则耦接到第一电压V1。第二电压V2与第一电压V1的比值,亦可以称为调光驱动模块20的占空比D。一般而言,一个调光驱动模块20的占空比D的最高值,在设计时根据调光驱动模块20的各种参数要求以及后面的测试验证,即可以明确下来,而此明确下来的占空比D的最高值即作为预设值,保存在调光驱动模块20。例如,在一具体实施例中,占空比D的最高值可以是94%,或者是95%。一般而言,占空比D大于80%,尤其是大于90%,较好。本申请通过检测负载电压(第二电压V2,耦接不同的外部负载70时负载电压则不同),去调节第一电压V1(调光驱动模块20的输入电压),让第二电压V2与第一电压V1的比值维持在预设值,即较高的占空比D,例如94%或95%,如此本申请可调光驱动电路无论耦接什么样的外部负载70,调光驱动模块20中电感的放电时段都会尽可能的少,从而尽量的避免调光信号的变化落在电感的放电时段,进而减少了调光的顿挫,给用户以较佳的使用体验。Among them, the first voltage V1 is provided to the dimming driver module 20, which can also be called the input voltage of the dimming driver module 20. The second voltage V2 is output from the dimming driver module 20, which can also be called the output voltage of the dimming driver module 20, and is applied to the external load 70, which can also be called the load voltage. In some embodiments, the external load 70 is an LED lamp bead, and multiple or multiple groups of LED lamp beads can be connected in series and/or in parallel; the second voltage V2 is applied to the negative electrode of the LED lamp bead, and the positive electrode of the LED lamp bead is coupled to the first voltage V1. The ratio of the second voltage V2 to the first voltage V1 can also be called the duty cycle D of the dimming driver module 20. Generally speaking, the maximum value of the duty cycle D of a dimming driver module 20 can be determined during the design according to the various parameter requirements of the dimming driver module 20 and the subsequent test verification, and the maximum value of the duty cycle D determined is used as a preset value and saved in the dimming driver module 20. For example, in a specific embodiment, the maximum value of the duty cycle D can be 94% or 95%. Generally speaking, the duty cycle D is greater than 80%, especially greater than 90%, which is better. The present application adjusts the first voltage V1 (the input voltage of the dimming driver module 20) by detecting the load voltage (the second voltage V2, which is different when coupled to different external loads 70), so that the ratio of the second voltage V2 to the first voltage V1 is maintained at a preset value, that is, a higher duty cycle D, such as 94% or 95%. In this way, no matter what kind of external load 70 is coupled to the dimmable driving circuit of the present application, the discharge period of the inductor in the dimming driver module 20 will be as short as possible, thereby avoiding the change of the dimming signal falling in the discharge period of the inductor as much as possible, thereby reducing the frustration of dimming and giving users a better user experience.
在一些实施例中,主控制模块50包括主控制芯片U5,主控制芯片U5具
有第一引脚为电源引脚,耦接工作电源;主控制芯片U5具有第二引脚为第一检测引脚CS/PA7,与第一检测电路30耦接,接收第一检测电路30输出的第一检测信号ADC_V1;主控制芯片U5具有第三引脚为第二检测引脚TKS/PA6,与第二检测电路40耦接,接收第二检测电路40输出的第二检测信号ADC_V2;主控制芯片U5具有第三引脚为调节信号输出引脚RSTB/PA5,输出调节信号DAC_ADJ;主控制芯片U5具有第八引脚为接地引脚,与信号地SGND耦接。如前,主控制模块50保存有第二电压V2与第一电压V1的比值的预设值,即调光驱动模块20的占空比D的最高值;再加上获取到的第一检测信号ADC_V1实际上表征第一电压V1的实际值,获取到的第二检测信号ADC_V2实际上表征第二电压V2的实际值,如此经过判断比较计算,即可输出一调节信号DAC_ADJ,以表征第一电压V1可以达到的理想值。例如,在一具体实施例中,第一电压V1的当前实际值为24V,但结合第二电压V2以及占空比D的最高值(预设值)进行比较计算,得到第一电压V1的理想值应为22V较好,如此输出的调节信号DAC_ADJ则表征此22V。In some embodiments, the main control module 50 includes a main control chip U5. The first pin is a power pin, coupled to the working power supply; the main control chip U5 has a second pin as a first detection pin CS/PA7, coupled to the first detection circuit 30, and receives the first detection signal ADC_V1 output by the first detection circuit 30; the main control chip U5 has a third pin as a second detection pin TKS/PA6, coupled to the second detection circuit 40, and receives the second detection signal ADC_V2 output by the second detection circuit 40; the main control chip U5 has a third pin as an adjustment signal output pin RSTB/PA5, outputting the adjustment signal DAC_ADJ; the main control chip U5 has an eighth pin as a ground pin, coupled to the signal ground SGND. As before, the main control module 50 stores a preset value of the ratio of the second voltage V2 to the first voltage V1, that is, the maximum value of the duty cycle D of the dimming driving module 20; plus the first detection signal ADC_V1 obtained actually represents the actual value of the first voltage V1, and the second detection signal ADC_V2 obtained actually represents the actual value of the second voltage V2, so after judgment, comparison and calculation, an adjustment signal DAC_ADJ can be output to represent the ideal value that the first voltage V1 can reach. For example, in a specific embodiment, the current actual value of the first voltage V1 is 24V, but by comparing and calculating with the second voltage V2 and the maximum value (preset value) of the duty cycle D, it is obtained that the ideal value of the first voltage V1 should be 22V, so the output adjustment signal DAC_ADJ represents this 22V.
在一些实施例中,调节信号DAC_ADJ为模拟信号。此模拟信号并不能直接控制前级变换器10改变输出的第一电压V1。所以,在一些实施例中,可调光驱动电路还包括电压基准和反馈环路60,电压基准和反馈环路60与主控制模块50、前级变换器10均耦接,接收主控制模块50输出的调节信号DAC_ADJ,产生反馈信号FB,发送给前级变换器10,前级变换器10根据反馈信号FB调节第一电压V1的数值。调节信号DAC_ADJ经过电压基准和反馈环路60的转换,产生反馈信号FB,发送给前级变换器10,前级变换器10即可根据反馈信号FB调节第一电压V1的数值。In some embodiments, the adjustment signal DAC_ADJ is an analog signal.
