In this paper, by designing 20 W class driving circuit for driving high-power LED (Light Emitting Diode), we are going to comparatively carry out the analysis of characteristics for power circuit according to each design method. In this case, 200 V 60 Hz was performed as input data. The electrical characteristics such as voltage, current and ripple are checked for constant current circuit and constant voltage circuit in the LED module. In addition, as the ripple has an influence on illumination of LED light, low temperature working (-20 [$^{\circ}C$]) and high temperature working(80 [$^{\circ}C$]) are measured to make sure the ripple characteristics in accordance with temperature. In low temperature operation -20 [$^{\circ}C$] measurements, both constant current circuit and constant-voltage circuit were less impacted on input fluctuation, whereas in the high temperature operation 80 [$^{\circ}C$], current voltage in constant voltage circuit was surge after 430 [hour]. Voltage current ripple of constant current circuit was much less than constant voltage circuit, therefore we can show that constant current circuit is more stable.

In order to widely disseminate LED lighting, LED lighting technology that directly uses AC commercial power has been recently introduced. AC powered LED lighting technology has a problem in that the light brightness of the LED changes because the voltage applied to the LED and the current flowing through the LED continuously change. In this study, when the LED current is greater than the design current, the current control signal generated by the controller is supplied to the current source to supply only the design current to the LED by increasing the voltage drop at the current source. If it is smaller than the design current, the controller is adjusted so that the current is supplied only to the LED without a voltage drop in the current source. It can be seen that the higher the maximum rectified voltage, the faster the lighting time of the LED light emitting block is, so that the power factor of the LED lighting is improved. The LED lighting technology proposed in this study enables LED lighting with constant light brightness, reduced power consumption, and long lifetime.

In this paper, a mathematical model of the power LED system including the drive circuit will be presented to control the power LEDs current. Using this mathematical model, the constant current adaptive controller will be designed. A constant current drive circuit for power LEDs will be configured using Buck-type converter. Precise constant current controller design is enabled by presenting the mathematical model of power LEDs including the current driving circuits. Using the mathematical model of power LEDs and its drive circuits, the constant current adaptive controller will be designed to obtain the robustness for the parameter uncertainties. In order to verify the validity of the proposed controller, computer simulations are performed.

밝기가 동작 전류에 비례하는 LED 조명은 다수의 LED를 직렬 연결하여 정전류원으로 구동하는 방식을 널리 사용하고 있다. 이러한 방식에서는 일부 LED가 고장으로 개방되면 전류 통로가 끊어져 직렬 연결된 모든 LED가 꺼지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 LED 동작 전압보다 약 0.4V 정도 높은 항복전압을 갖는 제너 다이오드를 개별 LED와 병렬로 연결하여 LED 고장 시 전류 우회로를 확보하므로 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 회로를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 LED 정상 동작 시에는 제너 다이오드로 전류가 거의 흐리지 않고, LED 고장 시에는 제너 다이오드가 안정적으로 전류 우회로로 동작함을 확인하였다.

This paper reviews the performance difference between constant voltage control and constant current control in LED driver. Simulations of both control methods are performed for performance comparison especially with temperature variation. The results show that constant current control method is inherently better than constant voltage control for LED drive.

In order to spread LED lighting, LED lighting technology directly driven by alternating current (AC) commercial power has recently been introduced. Since current does not flow at a voltage lower than the threshold voltage of the LED, a non-conductive section occurs in the current waveform, and the higher the threshold voltage of the LED, the more discontinuous current waveforms are generated. In this paper, multi-LED modules are connected in series so that the threshold voltage can be adjusted according to the number of LED modules. A small number of LED modules are driven at a low instantaneous rectified voltage, and a large number of LED modules are driven at a high instantaneous rectified voltage to lengthen the overall lighting time of AC-LED lighting, thereby minimizing the luminance deviation of AC-LED lighting. In addition, the load current flowing through the LED module is adjusted to be the same as the design current even at the maximum rectified voltage higher than the design voltage, so that the light brightness of the LED module is kept constant. Therefore, even if the rectified voltage applied to the LED module changes, the AC-LED lighting in which the light brightness is constant and the luminance deviation is minimal has been realized.

A New Direct AC LED Driver has been proposed for wide output power range and precise constant current regulation using an advanced auto commutation topology. The conventional shunt regulation method provides a stepped input current shape by fixed regulation references in the linear regulator of the each channel, which results in poor current regulation and high THD. The conventional method needs to assign a linear regulator in each LED channel so that the number of linear regulator increases when extending the number of channels especially at high power application. The proposed regulation method can drive multiple switches to regulate each LED channel current by a single amplifier with sinusoidal reference so that large number of LED channel can be simply extended with less BOM cost and low THD is obtained with the accurate current regulation thanks to the sinusoidal input current control in the closed loop control. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a 20-W LED driver prototype are presented.
