Embodiment
Figure 3 shows that a kind of LED display driver circuit schematic diagram of present embodiment, comprise and have N driving chip 1 and led array 2 that drives port D1 ~ DN, two LEDs in parallel between any two in N the driving port of driving chip 1, anode any one among the LED of two parallel connections all links to each other with another negative electrode, all LED arrange with the matrix form of N* (N-1) and form in the led array 2, wherein N is columns, N-1 is line number, and N is the positive integer more than or equal to 2, and the connected mode of LED is the row common anode utmost point or row common cathode in the described led array.Described driving port voltage can guarantee to be unlikely to connect two relevant LEDs of conducting greater than the LED conduction voltage drop and less than the LED conduction voltage drop of twice when a certain tie point breaks down.
Present embodiment is the LED display driver circuit of N=16, and among other embodiment, N can get appropriate value according to the driving force of D mouth, obtains different LED display driver circuits.According to calculating, have N driving
chip 1 that drives port and can connect altogether N* (N-1) LEDs.There is great utilization factor to promote with respect to conventional ADS driving (N/2) * (N/2), with state-of-the-art driving combination arrangement mode in the prior art
=N*(N-1)/2 compare 100% lifting is also arranged, therefore reduced PCB layout and pad, reduce LED and driven hardware element, can effectively reduce printed circuit board (PCB) fabric swatch difficulty and system cost.
The LED display driver circuit of present embodiment adopts separately controllable ternary output to drive port.Figure 4 shows that the three-state driver model, there is an automatic transfer switch three-state driver inside, and when switching over arrived the NC contact, D exported high-impedance state; When switching over arrives VDD, D output 1(high level); When switching over arrives GND, D output 0(low level).
Figure 5 shows that three-state driver driving LED principle, Q1 internal drive switch switches to VDD, and Q2 internal drive switch switches to GND, at this moment, Q1 output 1(high level), Q2 output 0(low level), being added in the voltage forward of LED, the LED forward conduction is luminous.When needs are lighted some LED lamps, just allow its forward conduction, namely the LED anode adds high level voltage, and negative electrode adds low level voltage, the LED forward conduction.Extinguish if wish LED, the driving port that allows corresponding LED connect is high level simultaneously or is that low level or arbitrary end are high-impedance state simultaneously.
The driver that LED drives chip is not quiescent operation, but adopts dynamic scan mode to carry out work, and all LED lamps all are that to organize be that unit lights in turn or extinguishes.The LED that the LED display driver circuit of present embodiment has reduced application system drives chip 1 quantity, drives port with still less LED and drives more light-emitting diode display spare.Drive lead-in wire and LED driving port number owing to reduced, so that whole system has more pcb board space to realize other greater functionality or make design be more prone to the layout cabling when design, enhance product performance, alleviate maintenance and maintenance difficulties.
The above only is preferential embodiment of the present utility model, and the utility model is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment, as long as realize that with basic identical means the technical scheme of the utility model purpose all belongs within the protection domain of the present utility model.
