A quasi-resonant flyback converter using a simple 8-bit microcontroller for a LED lighting is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter is easily and precisely controlled by the simple controller using a low-cost 8-bit microcontroller. Also, in order to operate the 8-bit microcontroller, the proposed converter system does not require any additional power supply for the controller. A prototype power supply is developed to supply a 270[W] LED lighting with the wide input voltage ranges ($175[V_{ac}]-265[V_{ac}]$). Experimental results will be show the practicality and validity of the proposed circuit.

This paper presents a fully digital controlled power supply unit for the wireless controlled dimmable LED lighting system. The proposed power supply designed using a fly-back converter, which is directly controlled by a microprocessor. Although the proposed circuit does not sense the AC input current and has not AC input voltage feed-forward, it can achieve a high power factor. The proposed power supply directly regulates the output power for LED loads using the PWM and PFM control of the fly-back converter without additional regulator. For a wireless remote control function, the Zigbee modem is equipped in the proposed power supply. A prototype set-up has been built and tested. Through the experiment with a prototype set-up, the usefulness of the proposed power supply is verified.

The light-emitting diode (LED) has been used in a variety of industrial fields and for general 0lighting purposes on account of its high efficiency, low power consumption and long lifespan. The LED is driven by direct current; therefore, an AC/DC converter is typically required for its use. An electrolytic capacitor is generally used for stabilizing DC voltage during use of the AC/DC converter. However, this capacitor has a short lifespan, which makes it a limiting factor in LED lighting. Furthermore, LED lighting requires a dimmable control to enable energy savings and fulfil a growing consumer demand. In this paper, the dimmable single-stage power factor correction (PFC) continuous conduction mode (CCM) flyback converter that employs no electrolytic capacitor is presented. The LC resonant filter is alternatively applied to reduce the 120[Hz] ripple on the output. And the optimum value of the LC resonant filter parameters considering both efficient and performance is analysed. Simulation and experimental results verify the satisfactory operation of the converter.

This study performed analysis on the thermal pattern and current characteristics of an LED ((Light Emitting Diode) street lamp. It did this using a TVS (Thermal Video System) to analyze the LED street lamp's thermal pattern, and measured its characteristics using an oscilloscope. The ambient temperature and humidity during the experiment were maintained at $24{\pm}2[^{\circ}C]$ and 50~60[%]. The capacity of the LED street lamp was 120[W] and nine sets of modules were arranged at uniform intervals. On one module, 24 LED lamps were arranged in a radial pattern. The analysis of the thermal diffusion pattern at the front of the LED lamp showed that the maximum surface temperature was approximately $34[^{\circ}C]$. In addition, there was almost no change in the temperature of the upper cover, and the temperature at the side showed a uniform thermal diffusion pattern. The surface temperature of the converter converting AC to DC increased to approximately $46[^{\circ}C]$. The analysis results of the thermal characteristics of one LED indicated uniform thermal characteristics for an initial eight minutes. However, the temperature at the center of the LED increased to approximately $82[^{\circ}C]$ after 12 minutes had elapsed. It can be seen from this that the temperature at the center of the LED was higher than the allowable temperature, $70[^{\circ}C]$ of the insulating material for general electrical devices. Therefore, it is necessary to design a lamp in such a way that the plastic insulating material does not come into contact with or get close to the LED lamp. The voltage of the LED lamp converted by the AC/DC converter was measured at DC 27[V] and the current was DC 13[A]. Consequently, it can be seen that in order to secure an adequate light source, it is important to supply a stable current that was greater than the current of other light sources. Therefore, appropriate radiation of heat is required to secure the stability and reliability of the system.

This paper presents an improved single-stage ac-dc LED-drive flyback converter using the transformer-coupled lossless (TCL) snubber. The proposed converter is derived from the integration of a full-bridge diode rectifier and a conventional flyback converter with a simple TCL snubber. The TCL snubber circuit is composed of only two diodes, a capacitor, and a transformer-coupled auxiliary winding. The TCL snubber limits the surge voltage of the switch and regenerates the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. Also, the switch of the proposed converter is turned on at a minimum voltage using a formed resonant circuit. Thus, the proposed converter achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter utilizes only one general power factor correction (PFC) control IC as its controller and performs both PFC and output power regulation, simultaneously. Therefore, the proposed converter provides a simple structure and an economic implementation and achieves a high power factor without the need for any separate PFC circuit. In this paper, the operational principle of the proposed converter is explained in detail and the design guideline of the proposed converter is briefly shown. Experimental results for a 40-W prototype are shown to validate the performance of the proposed converter.

에너지 효율이 높은 LED조명을 사용하면 에너지 절감, 이산화탄소, 환경오염물질 배출 감소의 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 LED조명에서 발생하는 열은 LED조명의 수명과 에너지 효율을 감소시킨다. 따라서 LED조명을 상용화하기 위해서는 LED조명에서 발생되는 열을 효율적으로 제거하는 것이 필수적이며 LED조명 방열판의 생산단가 또한 낮아야 한다. 이러한 조건을 충족하는 LED조명용 방열판은 Al 6063이 주로 사용되고 있다. Al 6063은 열전도 특성이 우수하고 생산단가가 저렴하다. 그러나 100 W급 이상의 고출력 LED조명에 Al 6063을 사용하기 위해서는 Al 6063의 열 방출 특성을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 금속의 열 방출 특성을 향상시키기 위해서 주로 이용되는 방법은 표면적을 극대화 시키는 것이다. 금속에 국부적인 깊이 부식을 일이키는 Pitting corrosion을 이용하면 저렴한 비용으로 Al 6063의 표면적을 극대화하여 방열판의 열 방출 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 실험에 사용한 기본적인 구조의 Al 6063 방열판의 크기는 $50{\times}50{\times}30(mm)$ 이며 1M HCl + 0.05M $H_2SO_4$에서 $I_a$ = +40 mA, $t_a$ = 60 ms, $I_c$ = -40 mA, $t_c$ =20 ms로 50, 100, 200 cycle AC 에칭 하였다. Pitting corrosion된 방열판은 $3W{\times}3$개의 LED모듈에서 1시간 발광 시킨 후, 열화상 카메라를 이용하여 표면온도를 측정하였다. 실험결과 AC에칭 cycle이 증가할수록 발열특성이 우수하였으며, Pitting corrosion을 이용하지 않은 방열판에 비해 최대 $5^{\circ}C$의 표면온도 감소가 이루어졌다. 본 연구를 통해, 저렴하면서도 열 방출 특성이 높은 방열판을 설계하면, 고출력 LED조명의 상용화를 앞당길 수 있을 것이다.

역률개선용 AC/DC Flyback 컨버터의 경우 우수한 역률을 획득할 수 있으나 코어손실이 크고 효율이 낮으며 반면 Forward 컨버터의 경우 코어손실이 작아 높은 효율을 획득할 수 있으나 Dead zone이 존재하여 고역률 획득이 어려운 단점을 갖는다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Forward 컨버터와 Flyback 컨버터의 장점을 동시에 구현할 수 있는 고효율 및 고역률 Balanced forward-flyback 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 스위치 온 시 Forward 컨버터로 동작하며 스위치 오프 시 트랜스포머 자화인덕터 리셋을 위해 Flyback 컨버터로 동작하므로 고역률 및 고효율 획득이 가능하며 Forward 및 Flyback 컨버터가 다루는 에너지량이 전류평형 캐패시터에 의해 항상 절반씩 배분되므로 AC입력전압의 크기에 관계없이 항상 고효율 획득이 가능하다. 제안된 회로의 타당성 검증을 위해 이론적 분석결과와 24W급 LED 조명 회로에 적용한 실험결과를 제시한다.
