Abstract

This paper presents an LED backlight driver IC consisting of three linear current regulators and an output-voltage regulation loop with a self-adjustable reference voltage. In the proposed LED driver, the output voltage is controlled by dual feedback loops. The first loop senses and controls the output voltage, and the second loop senses the voltage drop of the linear current regulator and adjusts the reference voltage. With these feedback loops, the voltage drop of the linear current regulator is maintained at a minimum value, at which the driver efficiency is maximized. The output of the driver is a three-channel LED setup with four LEDs in each channel. The luminance is adjusted by the PWM dimming signal. The proposed driver is designed by a $0.35-{\mu}m$ 60-V high-voltage process, resulting in an experimental maximum efficiency of approximately 85%.

본 논문에서는 3개의 선형 전류 레귤레이터 그리고 자동 기준 전압 조절과 출력 전압 조절 루프를 포함하는 LED 배면광 드라이버 IC를 제안한다. 제안한 LED 드라이버에서 출력전압은 이중 피드백 루프를 통해 제어된다. 첫 번째 루프는 출력전압을 감지하고 조절하며, 두 번째 루프는 선형 전류 레귤레이터의 전압 강하를 감지하고 기준전압을 조정한다. 이러한 피드백 루프와, 선형 전류 레귤레이터의 전압강하는 드라이버 효율이 최대가 될 수 있는 최소값으로 유지된다. 드라이버의 출력은 각 채널당 4개의 LED를 가지는 3개의 채널 LED 구조이다. 휘도는 펄스 폭 변조(PWM) dimming 신호에 의해 조절된다. 제안한 드라이버는 0.35um의 60-V 고전압 공정에서 설계되었고, 측정 결과 최대 85% 정도의 효율을 가진다.
