LED driver chip, in fact, is a PWM control chip, in the composition of the circuit after normal operation, through the back of the current detection resistor to detect the LED current and get the voltage feedback to the chip, control the internal PWM duty cycle to adapt to changes in the LED's own characteristics caused by the current, voltage fluctuations, so that the LED to maintain a constant current.
led is our common light-emitting diode, it has three built-in driver types, one is constant voltage, the second is cross-current type, and the last is a pulse driver. Either kind of led driver can help us solve the current can not control the problem, after all, the diode is necessary to connect the power supply, often dealing with "electricity" Oh, therefore, the most indispensable is the built-in driver.
LED driver is a circuit used to control LED lights, it can provide a stable voltage and current to ensure the normal operation of LED lights. LED driver is usually composed of power supply, control circuit and output circuit, it can adjust the brightness and color of LED lights according to the input signal.
led driver power supply is used to supply power to led lamps and lanterns, so how to choose the right led strip driver according to the need?
1. According to the power selection: various specifications of constant-current and constant-voltage switching power supply sold on the market have a variety of different output voltage, current and output power to choose from, so you can choose according to the actual needs of use; in addition, some products have a variety of different frequencies of the input signal to choose from. For example
Some switching power supply can produce 50hz60hz100khz and other different frequencies of AC mains or DC (dcac) signal source, so that it can be easily used with the dimming station.
2. According to the load characteristics: choose the appropriate load characteristics to ensure the stability of the system and reduce the system power consumption is important. Generally speaking, the maximum allowable continuous operating time and the average trouble-free time under rated operating conditions as short as possible; and the average trouble-free working time is the cumulative working time between two failures within a certain period of time.
3. According to the use and environmental conditions: choose the appropriate way of heat dissipation, the choice of heat dissipation depends mainly on the type of driven parts and its working environment temperature and the structure of the heat sink form and material and several other factors.
For high-power led driver should try to use passive heat sink; and for small power removable controller should use active heat sink to improve its thermal effect and extend its life. In addition should also consider the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment, dust, vibration and other factors.
4. Selection on demand: In the purchase should be fully considered whether the selected equipment can meet the functional requirements of the design requirements and use requirements, but also to consider whether the cost of the selected equipment is reasonable and other factors to consider the purchase.
5. Technical indicators: when selecting the purchase to read in detail the technical parameters and precautions in the product manual and other content.
LED driver features are mainly.
Stable output voltage, which can provide stable voltage and current.
adjustable output current, you can adjust the brightness and color of the LED lights according to the input signal.
energy-saving effect, can effectively reduce the power consumption of the LED lamp.
Safe and reliable, can protect the LED lamp from overload, short circuit and other damage.
The role of the LED driver is to control the brightness and color of the LED lamp so as to meet different lighting needs.
1. Because LED is a characteristic sensitive semiconductor devices, and has a negative temperature characteristics, LED driver power supply (also called driver) is the protection of its stable working condition in the application process.
2. LED devices on the drive power requirements are close to demanding, LED is not like ordinary incandescent bulbs, can be directly connected to 220V AC mains. LED is a low-voltage drive, you must design a complex conversion circuit, different uses of LED lights, to be equipped with different power adapters.
Design a good power supply must take into account the efficiency conversion, effective power, constant current accuracy, power supply life, electromagnetic compatibility of these factors, because the role of the power supply in the entire lamp is as important as the heart of a person.
LED drivers can be used in a variety of lighting applications, such as home lighting, commercial lighting, automotive lighting, etc.. In addition, LED drivers can also be applied to displays, projectors, smart homes and other fields.
