Due to the limitation of LED power level, it is usually necessary to drive multiple LEDs at the same time to meet the brightness requirement. Therefore, a special driving circuit is needed to illuminate the LED. At present, several mainstream LED driving methods are as follows: Resistor pressure reduction The input current is limited by the impedance of the capacitor under AC to obtain a DC level to power the LED. The driving method is simple in structure and low in cost, but the input non-isolation scheme has security risks. Moreover, the conversion efficiency is very low and constant current control cannot be achieved. Isolated flyback circuit The flyback circuit is used to generate a DC level on the secondary side through the transformer, and then the ripple of this level is fed back to the primary side through the optocoupler to be self-oscillated. Such circuits comply with safety certification requirements, and the output constant current accuracy is better, and the conversion efficiency is higher. However, due to the need for optocoupler and secondary constant current control circuits, the system is complicated, bulky, and costly. It has gradually been replaced by the original side plan. Primary scheme The primary side scheme is to control the output power and current completely at the primary side of the AC. The most accurate can achieve 5% constant current accuracy, and the secondary side only needs a simple output circuit. The primary side mainly relies on the feedback of the auxiliary side to control the output voltage, and relies on the current limiting resistor to control the primary current, and multiplies the turns ratio to control the accuracy of the output current. The primary side scheme inherits the advantages of the isolated flyback circuit, and at the same time, the architecture is simple, can be small in size and low in cost, and has become a mainstream driver. The problem of constant current accuracy of the primary side: Since the production accuracy of the transformer is difficult to control, the output current drifts greatly when the primary side scheme uses a low-quality transformer. Therefore, the primary side scheme has improved the secondary side constant current control circuit through improvement, which is more complicated than the ordinary primary side scheme. However, compared with the flyback scheme, the optocoupler can be omitted, and the system has the highest cost performance. According to the power consumption rules of the power grid and the characteristics of the LED drive power supply, the following points should be considered when selecting and designing the LED drive power supply: 1, high reliability Especially like the driving power supply of LED street lamps, it is installed at high altitude, the maintenance is inconvenient, and the maintenance cost is also large. 2, high efficiency LEDs are energy-saving products, and the efficiency of driving power supplies is high. It is especially important for structures where the power supply is installed in the luminaire. Since the luminous efficiency of the LED decreases as the temperature of the LED increases, the heat dissipation of the LED is very important. The power supply has high efficiency, its power consumption is small, and the heat generated in the lamp is small, which reduces the temperature rise of the lamp. It is beneficial to delay the light decay of LEDs. 3, high power factor The power factor is the grid's load requirements. Generally, there are no mandatory indicators for electrical appliances below 70 watts. Although the power factor of a single power consumer with low power has little effect on the power grid, at night, everyone lights up, and the similar load is too concentrated, which will cause serious pollution to the power grid. For 30 watts to 40 watts of LED driver power, it is said that in the near future, there may be certain indicators for power factors. 4, the driving method There are two types of traffic: one is a constant voltage source for multiple constant current sources, and each constant current source supplies power to each LED separately. In this way, the combination is flexible, and all the LED faults do not affect the work of other LEDs, but the cost will be slightly higher. The other is direct constant current supply, with LEDs running in series or in parallel. Its advantage is that the cost is lower, but the flexibility is poor, and it is necessary to solve a certain LED failure without affecting the operation of other LEDs. These two forms coexist for a while. Multi-channel constant current output power supply mode will be better in terms of cost and performance. Perhaps it is the mainstream direction in the future. 5, surge protection The ability of LEDs to withstand surges is relatively poor, especially against reverse voltage capability. It is also important to strengthen protection in this area. Some LED lights are installed outdoors, such as LED street lights. Due to the start of the grid load and the induction of lightning strikes, various surges will be invaded from the grid system, and some surges will cause LED damage. Therefore, the LED driver power supply must have the ability to suppress the intrusion of surges and protect the LEDs from damage. 6, protection function In addition to the conventional protection function, the power supply preferably increases the LED temperature negative feedback in the constant current output to prevent the LED temperature from being too high. 7, protection The external installation of the lamp, the power supply structure should be waterproof and moisture-proof, and the outer casing should be light-resistant. 8. The life of the drive power supply should be compatible with the life of the LED. 9, to meet the requirements of safety and electromagnetic compatibility. With the increasing use of LEDs, the performance of LED drive power will be more and more suitable for LED requirements.
