- the control unit can be fed back feedback signals from the range of the load circuit containing the LED module EL with the half-bridge circuit:
- the bridge branch current by means of a tap A2 (inductive or by tapping at the midpoint of the switches Sl and S2).
- the LED module EL has an anti-parallel arrangement of LED.
- the circuit arrangement shown is particularly for the operation of LED modules with an anti-parallel arrangement of LED suitable, the two antiparallel strands differ in particular by a different color temperature or wavelength of the corresponding LED in each strand.
- the LEDs of the two antiparallel strands may also differ in their color rendering or their binning class.
- FIG. 2 shows in detail the half-bridge circuit with the feedback signals:
- the circuit arrangement shown in Figure 2 comprises a bridge circuit with an upper and a lower diagonal point 1, 2 and a right diagonal point 3.
- the left diagonal point can not be clearly identified.
- the bridge circuit has four bridge branches 4, 5, 6, 7.
- the bridge branches 4 and 6 each contain a switch element in the form of a FET.
- the switch elements are denoted by Sl and S2.
- the DC voltage source can be supplied to the circuit arrangement via a bus. But it is also possible that the DC voltage is generated in a conventional manner by inverting the mains voltage.
- the branch PZ1 includes in series an LED module EL with an anti-parallel arrangement of LED, wherein the two anti-parallel strands differ in particular by a different color temperature or wavelength of the corresponding LED in each strand, and an inductance L2.
- the branch PZ1 has a diode network consisting of four diodes D1, D2, D3 and D6.
- the diode D1 connects the inductance L2 to the one terminal of the FET S1, namely the one which is not connected to one pole of the DC voltage source.
- the other terminal of the FET Sl is connected to the positive pole of the DC voltage source.
- the diode D2 connects the inductor L2 to a terminal of the FET S2, namely to the one which is not connected to one pole of the DC voltage source.
- the other terminal of the FET S2 is located at the junction of the half-bridge branch 6 with the half-bridge branch 7.

- the diode D6 connects the not lying on the positive pole of the DC voltage source terminal of the FET Sl with the negative pole of the DC voltage source.
- the diodes Dl and D2 are poled on passage.
- the diodes D3 and D6 are poled in the reverse direction.
- a capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with the LED module EL in parallel as a filter or smoothing capacitor. This one can be in Operation smooth the lamp voltage and maintained during the demagnetization of the inductance L2, the lamp voltage.
- a low-impedance shunt Rl is interposed, which, however, serves only for the measurement of currents and has no measurable influence on the voltages in the circuit.
- FIG. 3 waveforms with activated bridge diagonal A / D (in the designation as in FIG. 2) are shown.
- the switch S1 is actively clocked and switched on between the times T31 and T32 (time duration tcw).
- the linearly increasing lamp current Ilamp can only be detected during the period toN at the shunt R1, during which the switch S1 is switched on.
- the lamp current can not be detected by means of the shunt Rl.
- the switch-on time of the high-frequency clocked switch can be determined by the monitoring of the current flowing through the inductor L2 branch current iL2. For example, it can be monitored whether the branch current iL2 flowing through the inductance L2 has again fallen to zero or whether the inductance L2 has been demagnetized. This can be done by means of a secondary winding at the inductance L2 or by means of a monitoring of the midpoint voltage between the switches Sl and S2.
- the cut-off time of the actively-clocked switch in the example of FIG. 2 switch S1) is now made adaptive so that, as a result, the turn-on time duration toN is variable.
- the adaptation takes place on the basis of a feedback signal, which is representative of the average value of the lamp current (averaging over one or more switch-on periods of the active clocked switch). By controlling the average value of the lamp current, the lamp current or power regulation is much more accurate.
- the mean value of the lamp current can be detected by detecting and evaluating a sample value at the instant t 0 n / 2, that is to say half the turn-on time duration toN of the actively-timed switch. If this is higher than the desired average value, the turn-on time or the turn-off current threshold can be reduced, in the current order in a subsequent turn-on of the active clocked switch.
- the lamp current is continuously detected and returned to the control unit.
- the lamp current I iamp is compared by a comparator Kl with a reference value I avg_soii.
- This reference value I avg_soii thus provides the desired mean value for the lamp current and can, for example, from an external or internal Dimmwertvorgabe and / or the height of the lamp voltage depend.
- This reference value I a vg_soii is a measure of the nominal power.
- the setpoint input for the mean value of the lamp current must be inversely tracked with fluctuating lamp voltage Ulamp, so that the resulting product of lamp current and lamp voltage remains constantly regulated.
- constant lamp voltage corresponds of course one
- the lamp current can be determined indirectly.
- the lamp current can be determined from the lamp power or the power supplied to the LED module EL and the LED module voltage (lamp voltage).
- the power supplied to the LED module can be determined, for example, from the product of the output voltage of the PFC circuit and current flowing in the full or half-bridge.
- the lamp current can be formed by dividing the lamp power or the power supplied to the LED module EL by the lamp voltage.
- the purpose of the control is that the duty cycle of the output of the comparator Kl during a turn-on time to N of the active clocked switch is 50%.
- the output signal of the comparator is supplied to a digital up / down counter COUNTER, which is clocked by a timer of the control unit (clock signal CNT_CLK).
- the counter COUNTER counts in one direction as long as the lamp current Ilamp is below the reference value Iavg_setpoint and in the opposite direction Direction as soon as the lamp current Ilamp exceeds the reference value Iavg_soii.
- the duty cycle of the comparison signal supplied to the counter COUNTER will be 50% and thus at the end of a switch-on time period the counter reading will correspond exactly to its initial level.
- This deviation signal ERROR is fed to a preferably digital regulator REGULATOR, which is also clocked by a timer of the control unit by a signal reg_clk.
- the regulator REGULATOR implements a control strategy (eg PI controller) and controls a manipulated variable which influences the power of the LED module EL, depending on the input signal ERROR and the control strategy.
- This manipulated variable may, for example, be one or more of:
- Adaptive switch-off threshold Ipeak and / or
- the manipulated variable (s) can be changed in the current switch-on process, in each subsequent switch-on process or in every n-th switch-on process, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2.
- the output signal of the further comparator K2 controls the switching off gate_off of the active clocked one Switch of the activated bridge diagonal.
- additional capacitors are provided in each case in each of the two anti-parallel LED strings which are connected in parallel only to a part of the LED of a string. These additional capacitors can serve as additional filter elements.
- an additional capacitor C3 is arranged to an LED of the first LED string, and an additional C4 to an LED of the second LED string arranged.
- the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 6 for an operating circuit according to the invention for light sources, in particular an LED path, includes a circuit arrangement which has four controllable switches S1-S4, which are connected in a full bridge.
- a DC voltage Uo is applied, which comes from a suitable DC voltage source of the corresponding operating device (also called electronic ballast), in which the circuit arrangement is used.
- Freewheeling diodes are in each case connected in parallel with the four switches S 1 -S 4, wherein, for the sake of simplicity, only the free-wheeling diode D 1 connected in parallel to the switch S 1 is shown in FIG.
- the switches S1-S4 used are preferably field-effect transistors which already contain the freewheeling diodes.
- Full bridge circuit is arranged to be driven LED module EL.
- the circuit arrangement shown in Fig. 6 is particularly suitable for the operation of LED modules with an anti-parallel arrangement of LED, wherein the two antiparallel strands differ in particular by a different color temperature or wavelength of the corresponding LED in each strand.
- the LEDs of the two antiparallel strands of the LED module EL can also differ in their color rendering or their binning class.
- a smoothing or filtering circuit which has an inductance L2 and a capacitance C2, these components being connected as shown in FIG.
- a resistor Rl is also connected, which serves as a current measuring or shunt resistor.
- Borderline mode border operation
- Discontinuous mode (lopsided operation) is operated.
- the two bridge diagonals with the switches S 1 and S 4 or S 2 and S 3 are alternately activated and deactivated and thus the respective switches of the two bridge diagonals alternately or complementary to each other and switched off, wherein also upon activation of the bridge diagonal with the switches Sl and S4, the switch Sl high-frequency alternately turned on and off, while according to the activation of the bridge diagonal with the switches S2 and S3, the controllable switch S2 high-frequency alternately turned on and off.
- the full bridge is at a relatively low frequency, which may be in the range 80-150 Hz in particular, reversed, while the switch Sl or S2 of each activated bridge diagonal also high-frequency, for example, with a frequency of about 45 kHz, alternately turned on and off.
- This high-frequency switching on and off of the switch Sl or S2 is carried out by means of a high-frequency pulse width modulated control signal of a corresponding control circuit, which is screened by means of the components consisting of the elements L2 and C2 filter or smoothing circuit, so that on the LED module EL only the linear average of the current flowing over the bridge branch branch current iL2 is applied.
- the pulse-modulated control signal With the aid of the pulse-modulated control signal, the current supplied to the LED module EL or else the supplied power can be kept constant, which is particularly important for the operation of LED modules EL.
- the low-frequency component of the current supplied to the LED module EL is achieved by switching or reversing the polarity of the two bridge diagonals, i. by switching from Sl and S4 to S2 and S3.
- the LED module EL is low frequency applied to the supply voltage Uo or grounded in this case, so that essentially applied to the terminals of the LED module EL only the low-frequency component.
- a current flows through the first strand of the LED module EL or alternatively through the second strand of the LED module EL.
- the controllable switch S1 or S2 of the respective activated bridge diagonal is closed at a point in time when the branch current i L2 flowing across the inductance L2 has fallen back to zero, preferably when it has reached its minimum.
- minimum is meant the lower reversal point of the current iL2, although this minimum may well be in the slightly negative current value range.
- “Closed” means that a control unit in this time range triggers the switching process - the actual closing of the switch, ie its reaching the conductive state usually occurs only when the rising again after the minimum current about once again (this time ascending) zero crossing
- the monitoring as to whether the branch current iL2 flowing through the inductance L2 has again fallen to zero or whether the inductance L2 has been demagnetized can take place by means of a secondary winding at the inductance L2 or also by monitoring the midpoint voltage between the switches S1 and S2.
- this current is interrupted iL2, which - as already mentioned - the switch S2 in particular high-frequency and regardless of the switching state of the switch 53 is alternately opened and closed.
- the opening of the switch S2 has the consequence that the current iL2, while initially on the freewheeling diode Dl of the open switch Sl in the same direction continues to flow, but decreases continuously and can finally reach a negative value.
- the reaching of this lower reversal point of the current iL2 is monitored and the switch S2 closed again after detecting this lower reversal point, so that the current rises again. That is, that high-frequency switching of the switch S2 occurs whenever the lower reversal point of the current iL2 has been reached.
- the opening of the switch S2 can be chosen arbitrarily in principle, wherein the time of opening the switch is particularly crucial for the power supply of the LED module EL, so that regulated by appropriately adjusting the opening time, the power or current supplied to the LED or kept constant can be.
- the time or the maximum value of the branch current iL2 be used.
- Field effect transistor is that the current already begins to flow upon activation of the corresponding field effect transistor, before the corresponding voltage has dropped to 0 volts.
- a product supplied to the respective field effect transistor is formed by the product of the current and the voltage, which can destroy the field effect transistor. Therefore, it is advantageous to switch the field effect transistor at a lowest possible current flow, in particular in the vicinity of the current value zero.
- the current flowing through the inductance L2 current iL2 flows through the free-wheeling diode of Dl when the switch Sl is open and the switch S2 is still open. If the switch S2 is closed and the switch S1 opened, it takes a certain period of time until the electrons could be eliminated from the barrier layer of the freewheeling diode Dl. During this time, the field effect transistor Sl is practically in a conductive state. This means that the field effect transistor S2 during a relatively short period of time to clear the barrier layer of the
- Freewheeling diode Dl which is associated with the field effect transistor Sl, at the full operating voltage Uo, the approx. 400 volts, is applied, which can also lead to the above-described overloading and possibly even destruction of the field effect transistor S2.
- IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
- the instantaneous value of the current iL2 and the time at which it reaches its reversal point be known.
- the instantaneous value of the current iL2 can be determined, for example, by measuring the voltage drop across the resistor Rl.
- the lower reversal point of the current iL2 can be determined, for example, by a voltage tapped off transformer-wise at the coil L2.
- a winding or coil (not shown in FIG. 6) can be transformer-coupled to the coil L2, which leads to a differentiation of the current iL2 flowing through the coil L2 and thus permits a statement about the reversal point of the current iL2.
- Fig. 7 time-dependent the course of the Junction between the switches Sl and S2 voltage applied, the lamp voltage ULED and the current flowing through the coil L2 current iL2 is shown.
- Fig. 7a the case is shown that during a first period Tl of the circuit arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the bridge diagonal with the switches S2 and S3 is activated, whereas during a subsequent period T2, the bridge diagonal with the switches Sl and S4 is activated , That is, during the period Tl, the switch S3 is permanently closed, and the switches Sl and S4 are permanently open.
- the switch S2 is switched on and off in a high frequency alternating manner during this time period T1.
- Fig. 7a From Fig. 7a is particularly apparent that the switch S2 is always closed when the current flowing through the coil L2 current iL2 has reached its lower reversal point, ie its minimum value, so that there is the pulse-like course of the voltage u.
- the slope of the edges of the current iL2 is determined by the inductance of the coil L2.
- the high-frequency course of the current iL2 is smoothed by the components L2 and C2, so that the smoothed course of the voltage applied to the LED module EL voltage ULED shown in Fig. 7 results.
- the switches S2 and S3 are permanently opened, and the switch S4 is turned on permanently.
- the switch S1 is now switched on and off in a high-frequency manner so that the course of the voltages U1 and ULED shown in FIG of current iL2.
- this Umpolfrequenz in particular in the range 80 - 150 Hz may be, while the high-frequency clock frequency of the switch S2 (during the period TA and of the switch Sl (during the period T2) may be in the range around 45 kHz.
- FIG. 7b shows the current waveform iL2 and the state of the second and the third switch 2, 3 during the period T.
- the two other switches are open in this period T.
- x2 is its beginning can be determined by reaching a maximum value of iL2 or by a predetermined duration of xl, the second switch S2 is opened and iI2 decreases slowly.
- the third switch S3 will now also be opened in a third phase x3 from a predetermined time after the opening of the second switch S2.
- both switches are closed again and the controller returns to the state of the first phase xl.
- the opening of the third switch S3 - ie the third phase x3 - is omitted, however, if the current iL2 has previously dropped to zero, since in this case no high loads occur when opening switch. Instead, the first phase x is immediately continued and the second switch S2 is opened again.
- the low-frequency switching between the two bridge diagonals is analogous to the previous embodiment, wherein also here advantageously the current peaks of the current iL2 before and after the switching between the operating phases Tl and T2 can be reduced.
- the switch-off time of the high-frequency clocked switch can be determined by the fact that the lamp current reaches a fixed predetermined switch-off threshold.
- this can lead to inaccuracies that the negative current flow range can vary immediately after switching on the switch, which makes the power control inaccurate.
- the operating device On the output side, the operating device has a
- a method for controlling a LED module EL means of a half-bridge circuit with two switches or a full bridge circuit with four switches allows, the LED module EL is connected in the bridge branch.
- the first bridge diagonal is activated by a first switch S1 being actively clocked in a first time interval T1.
- a second switch S2 is actively clocked, thus activating the second bridge diagonal.
- the LED module EL has two anti-parallel strands, wherein the two anti-parallel strands in particular by a different
- each active clocked switch Sl or S2 becomes a
- the average current through the LED module EL and thus the by the LED module EL emitted brightness can be adjusted.
- the invention also enables a luminaire, comprising an LED module EL and a control gear, wherein the
- the circuit has a half-bridge circuit with two switches Sl and S2 (eg, Figs. 1 and 2) or a
- a control unit may activate a first bridge diagonal by
