In this paper, we proposed a LED driver that allows to use a long lifetime MLCC with small voltage capacity to replace the electrolytic condenser that has been used at the output part by storing only the voltage fluctuation due to temperature variation in the output condenser. The proposed LED driver can allow to use a long lifetime MLCC with small power loss as the output condenser instead of the conventional electrolytic condenser with short lifetime because it stores only the voltage fluctuation due to the temperature variation of the LED light source in the output condenser by connecting the output condenser with the input power supply in series in the basic topology of the conventional boost DC/DC converter. In this study, we performed a simulation to verify the conventional DC/DC converter and the proposed DC/DC converter. It was shown that the DC/DC converter proposed through the experiment allows to use MLCC as the output condenser and the efficiency can be improved.

Now it's a trend to install a series of white fluorescent light and orange high pressure sodium lamps because tunnel lighting should be opaque to the safety of drivers from soot, dust, humidity, and fog. Also fluorescent lighting is replaced to LED due to the fact that it improves amenity and object recognition and LED lighting has gradually been improved its nature. In this paper, we have implemented the circuits of the yellow series of high-pressure sodium lamps and white series of LED lights at one board to improve the transparency and recognition of objects. It is possible for inductive high-pressure sodium lamps and the capacitive LED drivers to circuit without power factor compensation. Two circuit parts share only a small number of parts, so low cost LED drivers compared to conventional ones are possible. Therefore, the implementation of the hybrid lighting with high-pressure sodium lamps and LED lights that can be driven at the same time by one driving circuit is possible. The LED capacitive power factor was 0.91 while individually implemented the sodium lamp power factor was 0.98. It shows not only the 2% improvement of hybrid forms but also the efficiency and THD.

기존 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 백라이트 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) TV 용 전원 장치는 다중출력 플라이백 컨버터를 사용하여 로직 보드, 영상 보드, LED 백라이트 등의 구동에 필요한 다양한 전원들을 생성, 공급한다. 특히, 기존에는 LED 백라이트의 구동을 위한 출력단에는 부스트 컨버터를 추가하여 LED 전류를 제어하였다. 따라서, 부스트 컨버터에 의한 부피 및 원가가 증가하는 단점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 부스트 컨버터 없이 보조 스위치 하나만을 사용한 LED 구동회로를 이용하여 LED의 정전류 제어가 가능한 저 가격형 LED 구동회로의 비동기식 제어방법을 제안한다. 최종적으로 제안 회로를 32인치 LCD TV 용 LED 백라이트에 적용하여 그 실험 결과를 바탕으로 제안 회로의 타당성을 검증하였다.

친환경적이고 수명이 길며 높은 효율을 가지고 있는 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 조명은 각광 받고 있다. LED는 응용 분야별로 필요한 용량에 따라 다양하게 정하지 않고 용량을 한가지로 표준화하여 직, 병렬로 연결하여 모듈 형태로 사용하고 큰 용량이 필요한 경우, 여러 개의 모듈로 이용하는 특징을 갖는다. 따라서 LED 구동하기 위한 컨버터는 LED 모듈을 최소 하나에서 여러 대를 구동할 수 있는 PFC 및 DC/DC 컨버터를 요구한다. 기존 단일 출력 컨버터로 LED 모듈을 구성하면 LED 시스템의 높은 효율, 높은 전력 밀도, 대용량화 및 활용도가 떨어지며 효과적으로 유지 보수가 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 또한, 다중 출력 LED 컨버터는 각 출력이 정전류 특성을 유지하고 LED 보호 기능을 가지려면 독립적인 컨버터가 채널마다 필요하게 된다. 이에 본 논문은 다중 출력으로 복수의 LED 모듈을 문제없이 구동할 수 있는 LLC 공진 컨버터에 관한 연구이며 이를 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

The LED has the proportional characteristic between the flux of light and its current and has caused voltage-current deviation on production process. Thus the unbalancing of each LED strings current occurred by its characteristic deviation. This unbalancing reduce a uniformity of the flux of light. Therefore, we researched to design method the LED driver based on DSP and the balancing transformer for a LED current balancing. These are applied to 50W LED module consist of 4 parallel strings. We analyzed the reduction of LED currents unbalance by experimental result from each method.

A fixed off-time controlled high power factor ac-dc LED driver is proposed in this paper, which employs a novel zero-crossing-compensation (ZCC) circuit based on a fixed off-time controlled scheme. Due to the parasitic parameters of the system, the practical waveforms have a dead region. By detecting the zero-crossing boundary, the proposed ZCC circuit compensates the control signal VCOMP within the dead region, and is invalid above this region. With further optimization of the parameters KR and Kτ of the ZCC circuit, the dead zone can be eliminated and lower THD is achieved. Finally, the chip is implemented in HHNEC 0.5μm 5V/40V HVCMOS process, and a prototype circuit, delivering 7~12W of power to several 3-W LED loads, is tested under AC input voltage ranging from 85V to 265V. The test results indicate that the average total harmonic distortion (THD) of the entire system is approximately 10%, with a minimum of 5.5%, and that the power factor is above 0.955, with a maximum of 0.999.

In this paper, Power LED(Light Emitting Diodes) is studied to driver as a new lighting system in the spotlight, replacing a large existing lighting system with fluorescent and incandescent lighting. To take advantage a variety of DC power as the boost DC-DC converter design specifications through the inductor L and capacitor C through PSPICE to calculate the best estimate of the value. Converter's switching frequency is 50[kHz], the first Duty Rate was made to increase gradually depending on the value of the detection were, 10[%] in the output voltage. As a result, the simulated Boost Power LED driver characteristics is in comparison with the design specifications, 5[%] or less as the error was approximated. So, when input 15[V] were offered, a stable output 24[V] were obtained, and Dimming Control through the adjustment of brightness and current consumption were obtained to possible result.
