Beginners to see: LED drive power knowledge

The LED driver power supply converts the power supply into a specific voltage and current to drive the LED light-emitting voltage converter. Usually: the input of the LED driving power supply includes high-voltage power frequency AC (ie, mains), low-voltage DC, high-voltage DC, low-voltage high-frequency. AC (such as the output of an electronic transformer). The output of the LED driver is mostly a constant current source that changes the voltage as the LED's forward voltage drop changes. The core components of the LED power supply include a switch controller, an inductor, a switching component (MOSfet), a feedback resistor, an input filter component, an output filter component, and the like. According to the requirements of different occasions, there are also input overvoltage protection circuit, input undervoltage protection circuit, LED open circuit protection, overcurrent protection and other circuits.

1, the characteristics of LED drive power

(1) High reliability, especially the driving power of LED street lamps, installed at high altitude, inconvenient to maintain, and costly for maintenance.

(2) High-efficiency LEDs are energy-saving products, and the efficiency of driving power supplies is high. It is very important to dissipate heat from the power supply installed in the fixture. 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 load requirement of the grid. 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, the amount of lighting used at night is large, 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) There are two types of driving methods: 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 power supply, which is the driving mode adopted by “Zhongke Huibao”. LEDs are operated 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) The ability of surge protection LED to resist surge is relatively poor, especially the ability to resist reverse voltage. 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 analysis of the "Zhongke Huibao" drive power supply should have a certain lack of surge protection, and as the power supply and lamps are frequently replaced, the LED drive power supply must have the ability to suppress the intrusion of surges and protect the LED from damage.

(6) Protection function power supply In addition to the conventional protection function, it is better to increase the LED temperature negative feedback in the constant current output to prevent the LED temperature from being too high; it is required to meet the safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
