Description

Dimming control circuit and method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of LED backlight drive circuit design, in particular to a dimming control circuit and a method thereof
Background
The LED backlight, which is used for the illumination of the liquid crystal display screen, is gradually replacing the conventional CCFL (cold cathode tube) backlight source due to its low power consumption, high adjustment ratio, fast response, long life, and the like. The LED driving circuit is a control circuit which can ensure constant current output of an LED, high dimming ratio and the like. At present, the domestic market of the products is basically occupied by foreign products, so that the research and design of the drive control circuit have practical significance for realizing the localization of the products and promoting the development of the industry.
With the development of electronic products, the dimming range of electronic display screens is required to be wider and wider, where the dimming refers to PWM (digital) dimming, and as shown in fig. 1, a PWM dimming timing diagram is shown, where PWM is a square wave signal input from the outside, and LED outputs a current waveform. In PWM dimming control, the amount of time TR represents the time required for the output current to transition from 0 to the target current, and the amount of time TF represents the time required for the output current to transition from the target current back to 0. In most cases, the lower the dimming frequency, the higher the contrast ratio, since these fixed delays will only occupy a small fraction of the dimming period. However, if the dimming frequency is too low, audio noise may be caused, which affects the application of electronic products, so that the dimming frequency is generally greater than 20KHz during normal use, the dimming ratio should be increased, and only the TR and TF times should be reduced as much as possible. The upper limit depends on the requirement of minimum contrast, which is generally expressed as the inverse of the minimum on-time.
Fig. 2 shows a conventional PWM dimming driving circuit, and fig. 2 shows two conventional PWM dimming control methods. In example 1, a PWM signal directly controls the operating state of an operational amplifier AMP, when PWM is "high", the AMP operates normally, the operational amplifier charges the gate of an adjusting tube N1, so that the whole loop is established, when AMP "positive" and "negative" input voltages are equal, the adjusting tube N1 reaches a normal set current, and an LED string is connected in series with the adjusting tube N1, so that the LED also reaches a required current; when the PWM is "low", the AMP is inactive, and the AMP output is pulled down to the "ground" potential, thereby turning off the regulator N1. Since the AMP has a limited driving capability, both TR and TF times of the output current are long. In example 2, in order to charge and discharge the gate of the regulating tube through the control switches S1 and S2, the TR and TF times can be made very small, but the AMP is separated from the whole acceleration loop, which causes a large overshoot of the LED output current and easily causes damage to the LED. Therefore, the dimming ratio of the backlight driving products in the market is small.

Specifically, as a preferable solution of the present embodiment, the shutdown circuit module 005 includes a third control switch S3, a fourth control switch S4, and a fourth resistor R4; one end of the fourth control switch S4 is connected to the output end of the main operational amplifier module 001, and the other end is connected to one end of the third control switch S3; the other end of the third control switch S3 is connected to one end of a fourth resistor R4; the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the ground GND.
Specifically, as a preferred solution of this embodiment, the work loop module 006 includes a first N-type MOS transistor N1, a second resistor R2, and a second control switch S2; the drain of the first N-type MOS transistor N1 is connected to the LED string to realize the series connection of the first N-type MOS transistor N1 and the LED, the gate thereof is connected to the connection point of the third control switch S3 and the fourth control switch S4 in the shutdown circuit module 005, and the source thereof is connected to one end of the second resistor R2 and one end of the second control switch S2; the other end of the second control switch S2 is connected to the negative input end of the main operational amplifier module 001; the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to ground GND.
The PWM dimming working process comprises the following steps: PWM is a square wave signal externally input to the driving circuit, and the PWM dimming acceleration module controls the switches S1, S2, S3, and S4, and the relationship between the switching timing and the PWM can be seen in fig. 6 (a schematic diagram of the switching timing of the dimming control circuit). When the PWM signal changes from "low" to "high", the switches S2, S4 are turned on, and the switches S1, S3 are turned off. At this time, the working loop module 006 and the main operational amplifier module 001 form a feedback loop, and since the LED output current is "zero", and the negative terminal input voltage of the main operational amplifier module AMP1 approaches zero, the main operational amplifier will pull the voltage of the gate VPD node of the second stage input tube P8 to "ground", but due to the action of the clamping module 003, VPD will not drop too low, but will clamp the voltage of the relative power source (BIASP 1-bian 2-bian 1-BIASP2), such voltage will make the second stage input tube P8 in the resistance region, the gate capacitance of the adjusting tube N1 is charged by the second stage input tube P8, since the designed second stage input tube P8 is in the resistance region, its equivalent resistance is small, the gate voltage of the adjusting tube N1 can be charged in a short time, when the gate of the adjusting tube N1 is charged to a certain degree, the adjusting tube N1 is turned on and appears a current, as the current of the regulating tube N1 increases, a voltage appears on the resistor R2, and the main operational amplifier AMP1 starts to enter the amplifier region to work. Since the gate-source voltage of the second-stage input tube P8 is initially clamped to (BIASP 1-bian 2-bian 1-BIASP2) voltage, and the gate-source voltage of the second-stage input tube P8 entering a saturation region is much smaller than the voltage value, the clamping effect of the clamping module on the gate-source voltage of the second-stage input tube P8 is gradually weakened along with the normal operation of the main operational amplifier module 001, so that the second-stage input tube P8 is automatically separated from a resistance region, the charging pull-up effect is weakened, and the phenomenon that the gate of the adjusting tube N1 is excessively charged to cause the overshoot of the large output current of the LED is avoided. The delay closing module 002 delays the rising edge of the PWM signal for a predetermined time, and after the predetermined time, the delay closing module 002 completely closes the clamp module 003, so as to avoid the clamp module 003 from causing a maladjustment effect on the system, and thus, the acceleration process of the current from zero to normal is completed.
When the PWM signal is low, the control switches S2, S4 are open, and the control switches S1, S3 are closed. The loop formed by the maintaining loop module 004 and the main operational amplifier module 001 maintains the normal operation of the main operational amplifier module AMP1, so that the main operational amplifier module AMP1 can operate in a fast response when the next PWM signal comes. The turning off of the LED output current is completed by the turn-off circuit module 005. After the control switch S3 in the shutdown circuit module 005 is closed, the gate capacitance of the adjusting tube N1 is discharged through the resistor R4, so as to turn off the adjusting tube N1, thereby completing the process from normal to shutdown of the LED current.
The delayed shutdown module 002 operation: when the EN or PWM signal is "low", the output of the nand gate 023 is "high", the D flip-flops 024 and 025 are in a reset state, and the output of the Q terminal is "low"; when the EN is high, the chip starts to work normally, and after the PWM signal changes from low to high, the Q terminal of the D flip-flop 025 is enabled to output high by 1 to 2 CLK clocks, and the clamp module is turned off, which is equivalent to that the clamp module can work normally for 1 to 2 CLK clock cycles. The timing variation can be seen in fig. 9(PWM delay off module timing diagram).

As shown in fig. 5, the main operational amplifier module 001 is a conventional two-stage folded cascode operational amplifier, and its frequency compensation is miller compensation, and is mainly characterized in that the gate of the input P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier is connected to the output of the clamping module 003, and the gate line name of the input P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier is VPD.

Specifically, as a preferred solution of the present embodiment, the delay shutdown module 002 includes a first inverter 021, a second inverter 022, a nand gate 023, a first D flip-flop 024, and a second D flip-flop 025; the PWM input signal is connected with the input end of a first inverter 021, and the output end of the first inverter 021 is connected with the input end of a second inverter 022; the output end of the second inverter 022 is connected to the data input D end of the first D flip-flop 024 and one end of the nand gate 023; the clock input CLK is connected to the CLK terminal of the first D flip-flop 024 and the second D flip-flop 025; the EN is the other end of the chip enable input connected with the NAND gate 023, and the output end of the NAND gate 023 is connected with the reset RSET ends of the first D flip-flop 024 and the second D flip-flop 025; the Q terminal of the first D flip-flop 024 is connected to the input D terminal of the second D flip-flop 025, and the Q terminal of the second D flip-flop 025 outputs the output of the delay shutdown module 002.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a PWM dimming operation flow according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The PWM dimming as described in fig. 10 specifically includes the following steps:
step S101, when the PWM signal changes from low to high, the switches S2 and S4 are switched on, and the switches S1 and S3 are switched off; at this time, the working loop module 006 and the main operational amplifier module 001 form a feedback loop, and at this time, since the LED output current is zero, the input voltage at the negative terminal of the main operational amplifier AMP1 approaches zero, so that the main operational amplifier pulls the voltage at the gate VPD node of the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier to the ground potential;
step S102, due to the action of the clamping module 003, VPD does not drop too low, but clamps the voltage of a relative power supply (BIASP1-BIASN2-BIASN1-BIASP2), and the voltage can enable the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier to be in a resistance region, and the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier charges the gate capacitance of the adjusting tube N1;
step S103, because the equivalent resistance of the designed input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier is smaller in the resistance region, the gate voltage of the adjusting tube N1 can be charged high in a short time, when the gate of the adjusting tube N1 is charged to a certain degree, the adjusting tube N1 is conducted and current appears, and as the current of the adjusting tube N1 increases, the voltage appears on the resistor R2, the main operational amplifier AMP1 starts to enter the amplifier region to work;
step S104, since the gate voltage of the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier is initially clamped to (BIASP1-BIASN2-BIASN1-BIASP2) voltage, and after the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier enters a saturation region, the gate voltage of the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier is far smaller than the voltage value, the clamping effect of the clamping module on the gate voltage of the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier can be gradually weakened along with the normal work of the main operational amplifier module 001, so that the input tube P8 of the second-stage operational amplifier is automatically separated from a resistance region, the charging pull-up effect is weakened, and the phenomenon that the gate of the adjusting tube N1 is charged too high to cause the overshoot of the;
step S105, the delay closing module delays the rising edge of the PWM signal for a certain time, and after a set time, the delay closing module 002 completely closes the clamping module 003 to avoid the clamping module 003 from causing maladjustment influence on the system, so that the acceleration process of the current from zero to normal is completed;
specifically, when the EN or PWM signal is "low", the output of the nand gate 023 is "high", the D flip-flops 024 and 025 are in a reset state, the output of the Q terminal is "low", when the EN is "high", the chip starts to operate normally, after the PWM signal changes from "low" to "high", the output of the Q terminal of the D flip-flop 025 is "high" through 1 to 2 CLK clocks, and the clamp module path is closed, which is equivalent to that the clamp module can operate normally for 1 to 2 CLK clock cycles;
specifically, when the PWM signal is input to the delay shutdown unit, it is uncertain whether the PWM signal is "high" or "low", and when the PWM signal is input to the delay shutdown unit, the output of the Q terminal of the D flip-flop 025 is "high" through 1 to 2 CLK clocks, that is, the defined SHUT is at "high", and the clamp module path is SHUT down, as shown in the timing diagram of the PWM delay shutdown module provided in the second embodiment of the present invention in fig. 9;
step S106, after the PWM signal changes from high to low, the control switches S2 and S4 are switched off, and S1 and S3 are switched on;
in step S107, the loop formed by the maintaining loop module 004 and the main operational amplifier module 001 maintains the normal operation of the main operational amplifier AMP1, so that the AMP1 can operate in a fast response when the next PWM signal comes. The turning off of the LED output current is completed by the turn-off circuit module 005;
step S108, after the control switch S3 in the shutdown circuit module 005 is closed, the gate capacitor of the adjusting transistor N1 is discharged through the resistor R4;
in step S109, a segment of the resistor R4 is grounded, and the discharge time through the resistor R4 is short, so that the adjusting tube N1 is turned off, and the process from normal to off of the LED current is completed.
Therefore, the embodiment can ensure that the rising time of the LED output current from zero to normal and the falling time from normal to zero are both small, and the whole PWM dimming resolution is improved; the accelerating circuit is fused into the main operational amplifier control, so that the LED output current is prevented from being greatly overshot, and the service life of the LED lamp bead is prolonged.
Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a method of a dimming control circuit according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 11, the method of the dimming control circuit includes steps S111-S116:
in step S111, clamping the node voltage in the main operational amplifier module AMP1 at a predetermined voltage value according to an input PWM signal;
in step S112, according to the node voltage after the clamping, the main operational amplifier module AMP1 charges the working loop module;
in step S113, after the working loop module is charged, the process of changing the LED output current from zero to normal is completed;
in step S114, when the LED output current is normal, after a predetermined time delay, the clamping function is completely turned off;
in step S115, according to the input PWM signal, the normal operation of the main operational amplifier module AMP1 is maintained;
