In the embodiment, the model of the constant current control chip IC1 is LIS9411, but the invention is not limited thereto. The MOSFET M1 is an N-channel MOSFET. Next, the operation principle of the constant current control chip IC1 adopted in the present embodiment is further described, and the internal functions of the chip are mainly divided into the following seven parts:
(1) starting and locking: the starting and power supply technology is adopted, the bus voltage is connected through the HV pin (namely the first pin), the internal high-voltage module provides starting current and working current, and a VCC capacitor is not needed. At startup, the VDD of the chip is first charged by the line voltage through the high voltage module, and when the voltage on the VDD reaches a threshold uvlo (off), the chip starts up and starts to output pulses to drive the internal power switch. After the IC is started, the power consumption of the chip is very low, and the power can be directly supplied through the high-voltage module, so that the VDD voltage is maintained at a certain value, and the normal work of the IC is ensured.
(2) Under-voltage lockout (UVLO): an under-voltage locking hysteresis comparator is arranged in the low-voltage locking hysteresis comparator, and when the VDD voltage rises from lower than UVLO (on) to upper than UVLO (off), the chip starts to start; and locks when the VDD voltage drops from above uvlo (off) down to uvlo (on), thus forming a hysteresis window.
(3) Soft start: after each start-up, the chip gradually builds up from the lowest operating frequency to the switching frequency required for the final constant current. The whole soft start process is about 9ms or so. The soft start can inhibit current overshoot during starting so as to reduce stress borne by the LED during starting, thereby prolonging the service life of the LED. On the other hand, soft start can also suppress voltage overshoot of the drain of the internal MOSFET at start-up, thereby increasing system reliability.
(4) Leading Edge Blanking (LEB): the leading edge blanking function is integrated inside. Within 600ns before the switching tube is switched on, an interference signal of a CS pin (namely a fourth pin) is shielded, so that the internal switching tube can be well prevented from being triggered and switched off by mistake, and the stable work of a system is ensured.
(5) And (3) over-temperature adjustment: the over-temperature adjusting function is integrated inside, and the output current is gradually reduced when the driving power supply is overheated, so that the output power and the temperature rise are controlled, the temperature of the power supply is kept at a set value, and the reliability of the system is improved. The temperature point of the chip is set to 145 ℃ through overheating adjustment.
(6) CS open circuit protection: the internal integration has opened a way the protect function of CS pin, and when the CS pin of chip is opened a way, the switch tube can turn off, gets into the automatic restart protection mode. When the error condition disappears, the system automatically restores to a normal working state.
(7) Output short-circuit protection: the output short-circuit protection function is provided. Once the output is short-circuited and lasts for only about 500us, the switch is turned off inside the chip and the chip enters a locking mode, and at the moment, the system is extremely low in power consumption and almost free of heat generation, so that the system is very safe and reliable. When the short circuit state disappears, the bus voltage is required to be completely powered off, and the system can be restored to the normal working state after being powered on again.
It should be noted that the voltage input range of the constant current control chip IC1 in the PWM control constant current unit 40 of the present embodiment can meet the requirement of AC/DC 20.4V-264V, the chip interior adopts the starting and power supply technology, the input voltage can be accurately controlled in a very wide range by using the open loop peak current mode control mode, and the constant current control chip IC1 integrates the high voltage MOSFET M1 therein, so that the requirement of the ultra wide voltage range input can be realized by using very few peripheral devices.
