However, in the conventional method, when address configuration is performed on a plurality of serially connected backlight driving chips, a plurality of address configuration commands are required to be sent, for example, N backlight driving chips in total are serially connected, N address configuration commands are required to be sent, and the more the number of serially connected backlight driving chips, the longer the occupied time. And along with the continuous rising of serial backlight distinguishing chip quantity, address configuration time increases, is unfavorable for transmission speed to promote.
Therefore, the embodiment of the disclosure provides an address configuration method, which can enable a plurality of serially connected backlight driving chips to complete address configuration by sending an address configuration instruction to the serially connected N backlight driving chips once, thereby reducing the total configuration time of the addresses and being beneficial to realizing higher backlight refresh rate.

In addition, the flow can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced.

Each backlight driving chip receives the register configuration instruction, identifies total information from the received register configuration instruction, and stores the total number (namely N) of the backlight driving chips connected with the corresponding output ports; the first backlight driving chip receives the register configuration instruction output by the corresponding output port, and the current backlight driving chip transmits the received register configuration instruction to the next backlight driving chip. Illustratively, each backlight driving chip has a total number of registers in series and registers having other functions, and the backlight control chip 200 transmits a register configuration instruction to configure the registers in the backlight driving chip. After each backlight driving chip receives the register configuration instruction, the total serial number register stores the total number (i.e. N) of the backlight driving chips connected with the corresponding output ports, and the other registers can store other information.
For example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, taking an output port as an example, the output port is connected to N backlight driving chips connected in series, the backlight control chip 200 may encode the address of each of the N backlight driving chips 120_1 to 120_n to form address information of each of the backlight driving chips 120_1 to 120_n, and then generate an initial address configuration instruction corresponding to the output port according to the address information. Based on this, the initial address configuration instruction includes: a configuration information stage PX1, the configuration information stage PX1 includes address information of each of the N backlight driving chips 120_1 to 120_n.

And, the initial address configuration instruction may include only the configuration information stage PX1, and the initial address configuration instruction corresponds to address information including each of the N backlight driving chips. Or, the initial address configuration instruction includes other stages besides the configuration information stage PX1, and the initial address configuration instruction corresponds to address information including not only each of the N backlight driving chips, but also other information.
Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 5, MD_1 represents the target address configuration command received by the 1 st backlight driving chip 120_1, MD_2 represents the target address configuration command received by the 2 nd backlight driving chip 120_2, MD_3 represents the target address configuration command received by the 3 rd backlight driving chip 120_3, … … MD_N-1 represents the target address configuration command received by the N-1 st backlight driving chip 120_N-1, and MD_N represents the target address configuration command received by the N-th backlight driving chip 120_N.

In addition, in counting the total number of the first pulses, the 1 st backlight driving chip 120_1 also converts the high level of the first pulse ph1_1 in the target address configuration command md_1 into the low level (for example, when the rising edge of the first pulse ph1_1 is detected or after all the rising edges of the first pulses are detected) to form the target address configuration command md_2, and inputs the target address configuration command md_2 to the 2 nd backlight driving chip 120_2.

In addition, in counting the total number of the first pulses, the nth backlight driving chip 120_n also converts the high level of the first pulse ph1_1 in the target address configuration command md_1 to the low level (for example, when the rising edge of the first pulse ph1_1 is detected or after all the rising edges of the first pulses are detected) to form the target address configuration command md_2, and inputs the target address configuration command md_2 to the nth-1 backlight driving chip 120_n-1.
And, the target address configuration command md_2 is input to the N-1 th backlight driving chip 120_n-1, the number of rising edges of the pulses in the target address configuration command md_2 is detected and counted, so that the total number X of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_2 (the x=n-1)) can be counted, and the address information of the target address configuration command md_2 is identified as N-1 according to the total number X of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_2 (the x=n-1), i.e. N-1 is regarded as the address thereof. In addition, in counting the total number of the first pulses, the N-1 th backlight driving chip 120_n-1 also converts the high level of the first pulse ph1_2 in the target address configuration command md_2 into the low level (for example, when the rising edge of the first pulse ph1_2 is detected or after all the rising edges of the first pulses are detected) to form the target address configuration command md_3, and inputs the target address configuration command md_3 to the N-2 th backlight driving chip 120_n-2. The rest of the same are analogous to each other, and are not described in detail herein.

Thus, the format of the target address configuration instruction can be set as follows: start flag instruction + address information + end flag instruction. It should be noted that, for the processing procedure of the configuration information stage PX1, reference may be made to the above-described embodiment, and this embodiment will not be described again.
Illustratively, the start flag instruction stage PX2 includes: the plurality of second pulses having the second frequency may be arranged at intervals, and the second frequency may be different from the first frequency in order to be distinguished from the first pulse. The present disclosure is not limited to the second frequency, for example, the second frequency may be 500Khz. Thus, the start tag command may be a series of pulse sequences (e.g., 0xA0A0, 500 Khz) at a particular frequency.
In order to distinguish the end marker instruction, the end marker instruction stage PX3 may be made to include: the plurality of third pulses having the third frequency may be arranged at intervals, and the third frequency may be different from the first frequency in order to distinguish from the first pulses. The present disclosure is not limited to the third frequency, for example, the third frequency may be 500Khz. Thus, the end flag command may be a series of pulse sequences (e.g., 0x55, 500 Khz) at a particular frequency.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second frequency may be the same as or different from the third frequency, which is not limited herein.
Illustratively, detecting and counting rising or falling edges of pulses in a received target address configuration instruction, resulting in a total number of first pulses, includes: when the end of the start flag instruction stage PX2 is detected, the detection of the rising edge or the falling edge of the pulse in the received target address configuration instruction is started and counted, and the counting is stopped when the start of the end flag instruction stage PX3 is detected. That is, the backlight driving chip detects the second pulse in the start flag instruction stage PX2 of the target address configuration instruction, and recognizes the pulse sequence following the end of the start flag instruction stage PX2 as the address information, thereby recognizing and processing the signal following the start flag instruction stage PX2, counting the number of the first pulses, and converting the level of the corresponding first pulse into the low level, thereby recognizing the address thereof. When the third pulse in the end flag instruction stage PX3 is detected, the counting process can be ended.
In some examples, when serially connected in a positive sequence, identifying the address information of itself based on the total number of first pulses includes: the address information identifying itself is N-x+1, X representing the total number of first pulses. As an example, as shown in fig. 7, the target address configuration command md_1 is input to the 1 st backlight driving chip 120_1, the number of rising edges of the pulses in the target address configuration command md_1 starts to be counted after the second pulse in the start flag command stage PX2 of the target address configuration command md_1 is detected, and the count is ended when the third pulse in the end flag command stage PX3 is detected, so that the total number X (x=n) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_1 can be counted, and the address information of the target address configuration command md_1 is identified as n—x+1 (i.e., 1) according to the total number X (x=n) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_1. In addition, in counting the total number of the first pulses, the 1 st backlight driving chip 120_1 also converts the high level of the first pulse ph1_1 in the target address configuration command md_1 into the low level (for example, when the rising edge of the first pulse ph1_1 is detected or after all the rising edges of the first pulses are detected) to form the target address configuration command md_2, and inputs the target address configuration command md_2 to the 2 nd backlight driving chip 120_2.
And, the target address configuration command md_2 is input to the 2 nd backlight driving chip 120_2, after the second pulse in the start flag command stage PX2 of the target address configuration command md_2 is detected, the number of rising edges of the pulses in the target address configuration command md_2 is started to be detected and counted, and when the third pulse in the end flag command stage PX3 is detected, the count is ended, that is, the total number X (x=n-1) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_2 is counted, and according to the total number X (x=n-1) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_2, the address information of the target address configuration command md_2 is identified as N-x+1 (i.e., 2), so that 2 is taken as the address. In addition, during counting the total number of the first pulses, the 2 nd backlight driving chip 120_2 also converts the high level of the first pulse ph1_2 in the target address configuration command md_2 into the low level (for example, when the rising edge of the first pulse ph1_2 is detected or after all the rising edges of the first pulses are detected), forms the target address configuration command md_3, and inputs the target address configuration command md_3 to the 3 rd backlight driving chip 120_3. The rest of the same are analogous to each other, and are not described in detail herein.
In still other examples, when serially connected in reverse order, identifying the own address information from the total number of first pulses includes: the address information identifying itself is X, which represents the total number of first pulses. As an example, as shown in fig. 8, the target address configuration command md_1 is input to the nth backlight driving chip 120_n, after the second pulse in the start flag command stage PX2 of the target address configuration command md_1 is detected, the number of rising edges of the pulse in the target address configuration command md_1 starts to be detected and counted, and the count is ended when the third pulse in the end flag command stage PX3 is detected, the total number X (x=n) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_1 is counted, and the address information of the target address configuration command md_1 is identified as N according to the total number X (x=n) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_1. In addition, in counting the total number of the first pulses, the nth backlight driving chip 120_n also converts the high level of the first pulse ph1_1 in the target address configuration command md_1 to the low level (for example, when the rising edge of the first pulse ph1_1 is detected or after all the rising edges of the first pulses are detected) to form the target address configuration command md_2, and inputs the target address configuration command md_2 to the nth-1 backlight driving chip 120_n-1.
And, the target address configuration command md_2 is input to the N-1 th backlight driving chip 120_n-1, after the second pulse in the start flag command stage PX2 of the target address configuration command md_2 is detected, the number of rising edges of the pulses in the target address configuration command md_2 is detected and counted, and when the third pulse in the end flag command stage PX3 is detected, the count is ended, that is, the total number X (x=n-1) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_2 is counted, and the address information of the target address configuration command md_2 is identified as N-1 according to the total number X (x=n-1) of the first pulses in the target address configuration command md_2, i.e., N-1 is regarded as the address. In addition, in counting the total number of the first pulses, the N-1 th backlight driving chip 120_n-1 also converts the high level of the first pulse ph1_2 in the target address configuration command md_2 into the low level (for example, when the rising edge of the first pulse ph1_2 is detected or after all the rising edges of the first pulses are detected) to form the target address configuration command md_3, and inputs the target address configuration command md_3 to the N-2 th backlight driving chip 120_n-2. The rest of the same are analogous to each other, and are not described in detail herein.
