0 Preface
Although high-power LEDs can't replace traditional light sources on a large scale, they have more and more applications in outdoor lighting. The advantages of LED's environmental protection, energy saving and high efficiency require a suitable LED driver to ensure the focus of this paper. A new method for designing a constant current driver for a DC system is introduced.
1 PWM switch constant current drive mode
LED drivers account for only a small fraction of DC lighting systems, but they are related to the reliability of the entire system. There are many kinds of LED drivers on the market, such as resistor current limiting type, constant voltage type, linear constant current type, PWM switching constant current type, etc. After comparison test, this circuit selects PWM switching constant current driving mode. In this way, the switching current of the power supply circuit and the energy storage inductor and the capacitor are used to form a high-efficiency constant current driving circuit, and the output current is constant, and the output DC voltage is within a certain range according to the load resistance. Change, load resistance is small, output voltage is low, the load resistance is larger, and the output voltage is higher. This constant current driving method adapts to the LED current type characteristic. When the temperature change or other factors cause the LED PN junction voltage drop to change, the constant current of the LED can be ensured, the LED will not be damaged, and the light can be delayed. decline.

The DC power supply is connected to the PWM control circuit and the temperature detection circuit through the anti-reverse circuit, and the temperature detection circuit and the freewheeling circuit are respectively connected to the PWM control circuit, and the high-power LED light source is connected to the PWM control circuit and the temperature detection circuit. Among them, the DC power supply (DC12V) supplies power to the PWM control circuit and the temperature detection circuit through the anti-reverse circuit. The PWM control circuit and the freewheeling circuit provide a stable set current for the high-power LED light source, and the temperature detection circuit detects the high-power LED in time. The operating temperature of the light source, feedback control of the PWM control circuit, so that the high-power LED light source operates in a safe temperature range.
Referring to FIG. 1, a LED constant current driver with temperature protection includes a high power LED light source 6, a DC power source 1, an anti-reverse circuit 2, a PWM control circuit 4, a temperature detecting circuit 5, and a freewheeling circuit 3. The DC power supply 1 (DC12V) supplies power to the PWM control circuit 4 and the temperature detection circuit 5 via the anti-reverse circuit 2, and the PWM control circuit 4 and the freewheeling circuit 3 provide a stable set current for the high-power LED light source 6, the temperature detection circuit 5 Timely detect the operating temperature of the high-power LED light source 6, and feedback control the PWM control circuit 4 so that the high-power LED light source 6 operates in a safe temperature range.

The oscillation pulse of the output of U2's 3-pin output is sent to the 3rd pin of the PWM control circuit 4 (integrated block U1) through R2 and C3 filtering, thereby controlling the current value flowing through the LED light source. The current Io passing through the LED light source has the following The formula can be calculated as: Io=0.1RT/R3/R1. The temperature of the LED light source is controlled by the temperature sensor RT to limit the temperature of the LED light source to a safe setting range.
