Abstract
The present invention discloses a high efficiency constant current LED driver, which comprises a rectification bridge, a PFC main circuit, an isolated DC/DC converter, a PFC controller and a PFC bus control circuit. Since the input voltage is an intermediate PFC bus voltage, which varies with the output voltage of the DC/DC converter. When the isolated DC/DC converter is an LLC resonant circuit, the operating frequency of the LLC circuit is close to the resonant frequency within a wide output voltage range. Thus, the gain range and the operating frequency is narrow, and can enable the constant current module to work with a high efficiency at a wide output voltage range. When the isolated DC/DC converter is a symmetric half bridge, or an asymmetric half bridge or a full bridge circuit, the duty cycle of DC/DC circuit is close to 50% within a wide output voltage range. Thus, the changing range of the duty cycle of the DC/DC converter will be narrow and can improve the efficiency dramatically.
Description
- This application claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 200910153404.3 filed Oct. 1, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a high efficiency constant current LED driver. More specifically, it relates to a kind of constant current circuit with active power factor correction (PFC), in which the intermediate bus voltage of power factor correction is adaptively changed with an output voltage, and it can get high efficiency during a wide output range.
- A traditional method of a constant current driver for LED application is one active power factor correction (PFC) circuit plus one isolated DC/DC converter, and an output voltage of the PFC circuit is fixed. The topology of an isolated DC/DC converter is generally symmetric half bridge or asymmetric half bridge circuit, full bridge circuit, resonant circuit, which is usually made by three components (LLC).
- For a traditional LLC resonant circuit, it is easy to implement zero voltage switching of the primary MOSFET and zero current switching of the secondary diode, which makes the LLC circuit get lots of advantages, such as low switching power loss, high efficiency, easy to be high frequency realized, and improving power density, etc.
- The efficiency of LLC resonant circuit is highest when the operating frequency is close to the resonant frequency, so the normal operating point is always close to resonant frequency. When input voltage increases and output voltage reduces, the larger gain can be obtained by decreasing operating frequency; when the input voltage increases or output voltage reduces, the lower gain can be obtained by increasing operating frequency. But the modulation capability from the frequency for the gain is limited and the range is narrow. Even through the modulation is able to be adjusted, the operating frequency range is too wide and the efficiency is low. Thus, the LLC circuit is difficult to guarantee the high efficiency within the whole output voltage range, when it is used in constant current LED driver with wide output voltage range.
- For traditional symmetrical half bridge, asymmetrical half bridge circuit, or full bridge circuit, the efficiency reaches the highest when the duty cycle is close to fifty percent (50%). Being used in a constant current LED driver with wide output voltage range, when the output voltage is low and the duty cycle is small, the efficiency is low.
- Exemplary embodiment of the present invention intend to solve the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a kind of technology to improve the efficiency of constant current LED driver, through regulating the intermediate bus voltage to adaptively track the output voltage, and make the DC/DC circuit operate at an optimum state. To settle the aforesaid drawbacks of the prior art as described above, exemplary embodiments of the present invention disclose a circuit which can improve a power factor of a power supply at a light load. The circuit comprises a filter configured with at least one filter capacitor, a light load detecting circuit, a light load, a logic control and power drive circuit, a switching transistor, a rectifier bridge, and a power factor correction circuit. The filter is configured to be placed before and/or after the rectifier bridge, the light load detecting circuit is configured to output a control signal to the logic control and power drive circuit which controls the switching transistor to conduct at heavy load and to cut off at light load in order to control a working status of the filter capacitor.

The high efficiency constant current LED driver comprises arectification bridge 10, a PFCmain circuit 12, an isolated DC/DC converter 14, aPFC controller 16, and a PFCbus control circuit 18. Therectification bridge 10 rectifies the AC input voltage (Vac) and then outputs the DC voltage (Vdc) to the PFCmain circuit 12. The PFCmain circuit 12 receives the dc voltage (Vdc) from therectification bridge 10 and the feedback voltage from thePFC controller 16, and then outputs the DC voltage (Vbus) to the DC/DC converter 14 through a PFC circuit. The isolated DC/DC converter 14 receives the DC voltage (Vbus) from the PFCmain circuit 12, and then outputs a DC voltage (Vo) to theLED load 20 through a DC/DC converter and supplies a constant current to theLED load 20. ThePFC controller 16 receives the control signal from the PFCbus control circuit 18, and sends the feedback signal to the PFCmain circuit 12. The PFCbus control circuit 18 samples the signal from the output voltage (Vo) of the DC/DC converter 14 or an equivalent voltage of the output voltage (Vo), and outputs the signal to control the output feedback voltage of thePFC controller 16. Thus, the PFC intermediate bus voltage (Vbus) changes with the output voltage (Vo), which enables the isolated DC/DC converter 14 to keep working at a high efficiency and consequently improves the overall efficiency of the LED driver. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 3 , 4, 5, and 6, the PFCbus control circuit 18 comprises an outputvoltage sampling circuit 22 and a PFC outputvoltage modulation circuit 24. The input voltage signal of the outputvoltage sampling circuit 22 comes from an auxiliary winding in a main transformer (T1) of the isolated DC/DC converter 14, and it keeps the signal with the action of diode D4 and a capacitor C4. The outputvoltage sampling circuit 22 converts the input voltage signal to a signal that is in proportional to the output voltage (Vo), and then feeds the signal to the PFC outputvoltage modulation circuit 24. The output terminal of the PFC outputvoltage modulation circuit 24 connects with the input terminal of thePFC controller 16. - As further illustrated in
FIGS. 3 , 4, 5, and 6, the PFCmain circuit 12 comprises an inductor L1, a switch (S1), a diode (D1) and a bus capacitor (C1). The positive terminal of rectified voltage (Vdc) is connected with a first terminal of an inductor (L1), while a second terminal of the inductor (L1) is connected with a first terminal of the switch (S1) and an anode of the diode (D1), while a negative terminal of the rectified voltage (Vdc) is connected with a second terminal of the switch (S1). The bus capacitor (C1) is paralleled with a cathode of the diode (D1) and the second terminal of the switch (S1). The output terminal of thePFC controller 16 is connected with a third terminal of the switch (S1), and a series circuit comprised by a first resistor (R1) and a second resistor (R2) is paralleled with a bus capacitor (C1), while a common terminal of the first resistor (R1) and the second resistor (R2), as a feedback signal, is connected with the input terminal of thePFC controller 16 and the output terminal of the PFC outputvoltage modulation circuit 24. - The PFC output
voltage modulation circuit 24 comprises a transistor (Q1), a resistor (R3) and a power supply (VCC). An output terminal of the outputvoltage sampling circuit 22 is connected with a base of the transistor (Q1), and an emitter of the transistor (Q1) is connected with one terminal of the resistor (R3), while the other terminal of the resistor (R3) is connected with the power supply (VCC), and a collector of the transistor (Q1) is connected with the common terminal of the first resistor (R1) and the second resistor (R2). - The isolated DC/
DC converter 14 can be an LLC resonant circuit as illustrated inFIG. 3 , or a symmetric half bridge circuit as illustrated inFIG. 4 , or an asymmetric half bridge circuit as illustrated inFIG. 5 , or a full bridge circuit as illustrated inFIG. 6 . When the isolated DC/DC converter 14 is an LLC resonant circuit, since the input voltage is a PFC intermediate bus voltage (Vbus) which is changed adaptively with the output voltage (Vo), the operating frequency of the LLC circuit is close to the resonant frequency, which makes a gain range and an operating frequency narrow and it can make the constant current module reach high efficiency at a wide output voltage range. - When the isolated DC/
DC converter 14 is a symmetric half bridge, an asymmetric half bridge or a full bridge, since the input voltage is PFC intermediate bus voltage (Vbus) which is changed adaptively with the output voltage (Vo), the DC/DC circuit 14 can operate at 50% duty cycle. Thus, a variation range of the duty cycle can be small, and then effectively improve the efficiency of the DC./DC converter 14. The above mentioned exemplary embodiment of the invention is a high efficiency constant current driver with single output, and the isolated DC/DC converter 14 has a function as constant current output. -

Therectification bridge 10 rectifies the AC input voltage (Vac) and then outputs the DC output voltage (Vdc) to the PFCmain circuit 12. The PFCmain circuit 12 receives the dc voltage (Vdc) from therectification bridge 10 and the feedback voltage from thePFC controller 16, and then outputs the DC voltage (Vbus) to the DC/DC converter 14 through a power factor correction function. The isolated DC/DC converter 14 receives the DC voltage from the PFC main circuit (Vbus) and the output signal from the DC/DC control circuit 27, and then outputs a DC voltage (Vo) to theLED load 20, and, at the same time, outputs a feedback signal to the DC/DC control circuit 25. ThePFC controller 16 receives the control signal from the PFCbus control circuit 18, and sends the feedback signal to the PFCmain circuit 12.
