LED(Light Emitting Diode)는 기존 광원보다 고효율, 저전력, 장수명으로 인해 일반 조명들을 모두 대체될 것으로 전망되며, 또한 기본적으로 반도체 소자이기 때문에 전기에서 빛으로 바꾸는 속도가 매우 빠르며, 이와 같은 특성을 이용하여 고속 ON-OFF 스위칭을 통한 통신 변조를 수행 할 수 있다. 최근에는 이러한 특징을 이용한 가시광 통신(VLC: Visible Light Communication)기술이 주목받고 있으며, 많은 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LED와 가시광 통신을 융합하여 송신부에는 LED 발광소자와 수신부에는 적외선센서를 사용하여, 미디어 신호 전송을 구현하였다. 미디어 전송 속도를 개선하기위해 가시광 통신에 적용되는 기존 가시광 통신용 LED 드라이버의 전력 변환 효율 및 발열 문제를 개선하고자 통신 시스템의 효율 증대를 위해 새로운 방식의 LED 드라이버를 연구하고자 한다.

A high step-down multiple-output LED driver is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the derivation of the driver with dual-output is presented and its operation principle and steady state performance are analyzed in detail. Secondly, a high step-down N-channel LED driver is proposed and its current auto-balance characteristic and step-down ratio are analyzed. Finally, an experimental prototype is built and the experimental results are given. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed driver has the following virtues: First, if load balancing is achieved, the voltage gain is 1/N that of a Buck driver, where N is the number of channels. Second, each output automatically has an equal output current, without requiring more current close-loop control circuits than a Buck driver. Last, the voltage stresses of the switches and diodes are lower than those of a Buck driver, meaning that lower voltage switches and diodes can be used, and a higher efficiency can be expected.

본 논문에서는 선박의 진동에 의하여 수명이 짧은 필라멘트를 사용하는 조명기구를 대체하기 위하여 선박용 LED 조명등 구동회로를 설계 및 구현하였다. 구동회로는 부피를 줄이고 비용을 절감하기 위하여 변압기가 없는 스위칭 회로로 설계되었다. 스위칭 회로는 입력 교류전압 220 V에 PWM 제어를 함으로써 안정적으로 LED를 구동할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 스위칭 회로의 펄스성 전류에 대하여 Valley-fill 방식의 역률 보상회로를 채용함으로써 역률를 개선하였다. 장기간 운항하는 선박에서의 조명등 교체 주기를 줄여 관리를 효율적으로 할 수 있도록 직병렬 배열로 LED 모듈 회로를 설계하여 LED의 일부가 손상되더라도 LED 모듈이 조명등 기능을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발한 구동회로를 포함한 조명기구는 전력소모와 역률이 각각 39 W, 0.925 로 선박 조명에 적합함을 확인하였다.

A New Direct AC LED Driver has been proposed for wide output power range and precise constant current regulation using an advanced auto commutation topology. The conventional shunt regulation method provides a stepped input current shape by fixed regulation references in the linear regulator of the each channel, which results in poor current regulation and high THD. The conventional method needs to assign a linear regulator in each LED channel so that the number of linear regulator increases when extending the number of channels especially at high power application. The proposed regulation method can drive multiple switches to regulate each LED channel current by a single amplifier with sinusoidal reference so that large number of LED channel can be simply extended with less BOM cost and low THD is obtained with the accurate current regulation thanks to the sinusoidal input current control in the closed loop control. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a 20-W LED driver prototype are presented.

Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) is expected to replace conventional lamps including incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamps for some general illumination application, due to some obvious features such as high luminous efficiency, safety, long life, environment-friendly characteristics and so on. To drive the LED, a single stage PFC(Power Factor Correction) flyback converter has been adopted to satisfy the isolation, PFC and low cost. The conventional flyback LED driver has the serious disadvantage of high 120Hz output current ripple caused by the PFC operation. To overcome this drawback, a new PFC flyback with low 120Hz output current ripple is proposed in this paper. It is composed of 2 power stages, the DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) flyback converter for PFC and BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) boost converter for tightly regulated LED current. Since the link capacitor is located in the secondary side, its voltage stress is small. Moreover, since the driver is composed of 2 power stages, small output filter and link capacitor can be used. Especially, since the flyback is operated at DCM, the PFC can be automatically obtained and thus, an additional PFC IC is not necessary. Therefore, only one control IC for BCM boost converter is required. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a prototype of 24W LED driver are presented.

A new active LED driver with high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) compatible with a rapid-start ballast is proposed. An LC input filter is attached to the ballast to increase PF and reduce THD. A boost converter is then installed to regulate the LED current, where an unstable operating region has been newly identified. The unstable region is successfully stabilized by feedback control with two zeroes. The extremely high overall system of the 10th order is completely analyzed by the newly introduced phasor transformed circuits in static and dynamic analyses. Although a small DC capacitor is utilized, the flicker percentage of the LED is drastically mitigated to 1% by the fast controller. The proposed LED driver that employs a simple controller with a start-up circuit is verified by extensive experiments whose results are in good agreement with the design.
