Particularly, current sensing circuit Ckt_A can realize by the structure of resistance, at this current sensing circuit Ckt_A to comprise that resistance R 3 is as example.Specifically, the first end of resistance R 3 couples sensing pin position PIN_S, and the second end of resistance R 3 couples grounding leg position PIN_G.It should be noted that, current sensing circuit Ckt_A of the present invention is not limited only to realize with the structure of resistance, although in the present embodiment to be disposed at resistance R 3 between node N1 and NG as example, but, anyly cause pressure drop and make the circuit element of grounding leg position PIN_G and the structure all can be in order to replace resistance R 3, the present invention be as limit.
In power-switching circuit 120, power switch SW has first end, the second end and control end, its first end receives DC input voitage VCC, its second end couples earthing potential GND via node N1 and Schottky diode SD, and its control end output pin position PIN_0 of coupling control chip 110 drives signal S_PWM with the pulse-width modulation that receives control chip 110 and exported.Therefore, power switch SW can react on that pulse-width modulation that control chip 110 provides drives signal S_PWM and switched conductive or cut-off make power-switching circuit 120 to drive light-emitting diodes pipe string 130 according to the switching of power switch SW and DC input voitage VCC.
In power-switching circuit 120, also comprise that a filter circuit Ckt_Ftr is coupled between node NG (being equal to the grounding leg position PIN_G that couples control chip 110) and light-emitting diodes pipe string 130, produce in order to react on the switching of power switch SW and determine electric current and drive light-emitting diodes pipe string 130.In the present embodiment, filter circuit Ckt_Ftr realizes with inductance L 1 and the structure of capacitor C 1.Furthermore, the first end of the inductance L 1 of filter circuit Ckt_Ftr couples node NG, and its second end couples output node Nout (being equal to the anode tap of light-emitting diodes pipe string 130), and the first end of the capacitor C 1 of filter circuit Ckt_Ftr couples the second end and the output node Nout of inductance L 1, and its second end couples earthing potential GND.Wherein, 1 of inductance L 1 and capacitor C can be in order to provide filter function to determine electric current and drive light-emitting diodes pipe string 130 to produce.

Fig. 4 is the light modulation mode chart according to the pulse width modulation of one embodiment of the invention.Referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, in the present embodiment, transverse axis is the time, the top longitudinal axis is control end voltage VG, namely received pwm signal (S_PWM) voltage value of the control end of power switch SW in power-switching circuit 120 described in key diagram 2 contents, top longitudinal axis collocation transverse axis can presentation graphs 2 described in power-switching circuit 120 power switch cut frequency.And bottom longitudinal axis collocation transverse axis can be expressed as the PWM light modulation operation of control chip 110 inside, transverse axis can be divided into bright operating period 410 and dark operating period 420.First, control chip 110 reacts on direct voltage by bleeder circuit Ckt_Dv and produces the dividing potential drop of detecting voltage end Vout in circuit 300, produce the conducting state of diverter switch 315 in circuit 300 to obtain direct voltage, and then the responsibility cycle ON/OFF ratio of adjustment PWM light modulation operation, and so as to changing the required brightness of light-emitting diodes pipe string 130, wherein, the responsibility cycle ON/OFF ratio of PWM light modulation operation determines the ratio of bright operating period 410 and dark 420 times of operating period.
In addition, in order to make the present invention make light-emitting diodes pipe string 130 reach required brightness during different operating, bright operating period 410 in the present embodiment and dark operating period 420, control chip 110 is exported respectively the pwm signal of different responsibility cycle, to adjust the electric current I _ LED of the light-emitting diodes pipe string 130 of flowing through.
Particularly, when load drive device 100 is during in bright operating period 410, pass through to receive DC input voitage VCC for startup by control chip 110, and after control chip 110 starts, output has the pwm signal of the first pulse duration 415, and provide control chip 110 required operating voltage by node Nout via power taking feedback circuit Ckt_Fb, to replace DC input voitage VCC.But, when load drive device 100 is during in dark operating period 420, continue output by control chip 110 and there is the pwm signal that has the second pulse duration 425, provide control chip 110 required minimum operation voltage to maintain output node Nout via power taking feedback circuit Ckt_Fb, be unlikely and decommission so that control chip 110 can continue to possess power supply.Wherein, in dark operating period 420 the second pulse duration 425 of pwm signal much smaller than the first pulse duration 415 of pwm signal in bright operating period 410.Also because the large I of pulse duration of pwm signal corresponds to the size of current of the light-emitting diodes pipe string 130 of flowing through, therefore, flow through the electric current of light-emitting diodes pipe string 130 much larger than at dark operating period light-emitting diodes pipe string electric current of 130 in bright operating period.
In sum, the load drive device that the present invention proposes is except in the bright operating period of LED light modulation, export the pulse width modulation signal of general responsibility cycle, in the dark operating period of LED light modulation, continue the pulse width modulation signal of the small responsibility cycle of output, therefore, in this dark operating period, still there are enough power supplys to be supplied to LED drive unit to use, can not quit work because power supply is not enough, do not need additionally to strengthen electric capacity and go to support this time yet, therefore can reduce costs and also can dwindle printed circuit board (PCB) (Printed circuit board, PCB) area.
Although the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; so it is not in order to limit the present invention; under any, in technical field, have and conventionally know the knowledgeable; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when doing a little change and retouching, therefore protection scope of the present invention is when being as the criterion of defining depending on accompanying claim scope.
