본 논문에서는 높은 역률을 가지는 단순 구조 LED 구동 직류 전력컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 전력컨버터는 PFC 부스트 컨버터와 전통적인 플라이백 컨버터를 오직 하나의 전력변환 회로로 병합함으로써 LED 구동 전력컨버터의 구조를 단순화한다. 그리하여 제안한 컨버터는 오직 하나의 PWM 제어기 IC를 이용하여 제어되고 높은 역률과 정출력 전압/전류 및 제작비용의 효율성을 달성한다. 따라서 제안한 컨버터는 LED 조명시스템의 산업 생산과 이용에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 컨버터의 동작분석과 설계예시를 간단하게 설명한다. 또한 설계된 회로파라미터들에 근거하여 제작된 프로토타입의 실험결과를 통하여 제안한 컨버터의 동작특성을 입증한다.

This paper presents an LED BLU driving circuit with a local-dimming structure. The efficiency of the proposed LED driver has been improved by parallel driving 8 serial-connected LED arrays. It employed the soft-switching boost converter topology to reduce the switching power loss of the hard switching boost converter. Soft- and hard-switching converters have the same structure except that the free-wheeling diode in the hard-switching converter is replaced with the n-channel MOSFET in the soft-switching one. The proposed boost converter was compared with the hard switching converter. The soft-switching converter reveals superior ripple and efficiency. A smaller inductance can be used for the soft-switching converter contrasting to the hard-switching one. We also studied on an over-voltage protection circuit of the output of the driver at the no load condition. The protection circuit was applied to the proposed driver, and its operation was confirmed by experiment. Using a local-dimming technique, power consumption of LCD BLUs can be reduced as low as possible according to the brightness of its image.

The high-power LED (Light Emitting Diode) which is recently gaining popularity as a digital light source has such advantages as low power consumption, long life, fast switching speed, and high efficiency. Thus, many efforts are being made to use the high-power LEDs for general lighting. This paper proposes LED driving circuit uses a DC/DC converter that can recover energy to compensate for the current variations caused by changes in LED equivalent resistance following a temperature change instead of serial resistance. The maximum input voltage of this DC/DC converter has low voltage variations by temperature change when the rated current is formed. In order to return current to the input side, we need a high boosting at low power. Thus, to improve the low efficiency of power converter, the power converter can be configured in such a way to gather the powers of low-capacity DC/DC converters and return the total power. Experiments showed that the proposed system improved efficiency compared to the conventional LED drive using the existing DC/DC converter.

본 논문은 고효율의 조명용 LED 구동회로를 위해 LLC 공진형 컨버터를 이용한 2단 구성의 LED 구동회로를 제안한다. 기존의 3단 구성의 LED 구동회로는 LED의 휘도 및 제어를 위해 별도의 비절연형 DC/DC 컨버터를 사용하여 낮은 효율의 문제점을 지니고 있었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안된 회로는 비절연형 DC/DC 컨버터 단 없이 PFC단과 LLC단으로 총 2개의 단으로 구성하였다. LLC단에서 절연과 LED의 제어 및 휘도 조절 기능이 가능하여 90% 이상의 고효율 동작을 보장한다. 본 논문에서는 제안회로의 동작원리를 설명하고, 모의실험 및 45W급 LED 구동회로를 제작하여 하드웨어실험을 통해 제안회로의 유용성을 검증하였다.

A new single-stage flyback power converter with PFC for electrolytic capacitor-less LED driver is proposed in this study. This method minimizes the peak-to-average ratio of the LED driving pulsating current by adding the LED driving current near the LED current valley area, as well as the third harmonic component injection into the input current. The reduced peak current value of the LED drive current minimizes the thermal stress of the LED itself, thereby increasing the reliability of the LED, as well as achieving a long lifetime. Simulation and experimental results show the usefulness of the proposed topology.

In multi-string light-emitting diode (LED) driver system, current balancing is crucial because the brightness of LED is directly related to its forward current. This paper presents a novel LED current balancing topology using current-fed Z-source converter. With the proposed structure, currents flowing through two LED strings are automatically balanced owing to the charge-balance condition on capacitors. Operation of the proposed converter is simple and the proposed converter uses only one active switch and one diode. Moreover, low-side gate driving can be used to operate the active switch. To verify the operation of the proposed LED current balancing converter, a prototype is built and tested with different numbers of LEDs.
