Graphical multi-channel LED driver power key technology: three innovations


     led   As a new energy-saving and pollution-free light source, the lamp plays a revolutionary role in modern lighting applications due to its unique illuminating lighting characteristics. As one of the core components in the LED lighting industry chain, the typical problems of low reliability and high cost of the drive control technology of led drive power have always restricted the development of LED lighting. The development and reliability research of multi-channel LED drive power technology is an important issue in the industry.

1, LED driving status analysis

A remarkable feature of general-purpose LED lighting at home and abroad is that the light source is usually composed of a large number of LED chips . The characteristics of the LED itself determine that the LED is suitable for constant current driving, which has been recognized by experts and scholars at home and abroad. The led drive mode is mainly a single-channel constant-voltage output (light source built-in constant current source), single-channel constant current output, and single-channel constant voltage source configuration multi-channel DC/DC constant current output.

1.1 Single output constant current drive

It is the simplest LED drive control method to drive the LED light source as a single group load from a single output power supply. There are multiple ways to connect multiple LEDs that make up a led light source . Figure 1 below shows the connection of all LED loads in series. The single output power supply is a constant current source that drives the led lamp . Since the light sources are connected in series, there is no current sharing problem, but when the number of LEDs connected in series is large, the light source voltage will increase, and the excessively high light source voltage requires the insulation cost of the whole lamp to meet the safety standard, and the higher the heat sink and insulation requirements of the lamp, The greater the thermal resistance, the worse the heat dissipation effect will affect the life of the LED lamp.

LED driver

As an improvement, the LED lamp shown in FIG. 2 is a grid-like arrangement structure, which can prevent the voltage of the light source from being too high. When the number of parallel LEDs is large, the single lamp is open, which has less influence on the whole LED lamp. However, this single LED is directly connected in parallel, the current balance of the LED is poor, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the LED light source; at the same time, one of the LEDs is short-circuited, and the LEDs connected in parallel are extinguished.

As shown in Figure 3 below, the LEDs are connected in series and then connected in parallel. In the absence of LED failure, the current sharing characteristics of the structure are better than the grid structure shown in Figure 2, but if some LEDs have a short-circuit fault, Causes severe current imbalance between multiple strings of LEDs.

The above analysis shows that single output constant current drive has certain limitations in application, especially the parallel connection mode of LED light source will have a great impact on the service life and reliability of the light source.

The traditional glass neon tube investment is high, using glass tubes, high-voltage electricity and inert gas, making the production process complicated. The flexible neon lamp adopts a new structure and LED technology, and the special PVC shell is coated with LEDs, which increases the intensity and uniformity of light.
