摘要
本文介绍了使用台积电 0.35 μm 混合信号 2P4M 聚酰亚胺 3.3V/5V 工艺的 LED 驱动芯片的设计与实现。主要重点是设计温度补偿电路,以减少 LED 照明的变化。基于片上温度传感电路,LED 驱动电流可在不同温度下自动补偿。我们采用压控振荡器(VCO)作为温度计。当温度升高时,VCO 的频率会降低。我们采用数字编码器对温度信息进行编码。然后利用这些数字数据自动控制开关,调整电流以补偿 LED 电流因温度变化而产生的变化。所有功能都集成在一个面积约为 2.2 平方毫米的硅芯片上。温度补偿后,驱动电流的误差率可从 14% 降至 0.7%。
A temperature compensation technique for constant current LED driver
This paper presents the design and implementation of an LED driving chip using TSMC's 0.35 μm Mixed-Signal 2P4M Polycide 3.3V/5V process. The main focus is on designing temperature compensation circuits to reduce variations in LED lighting. Based on the on-chip temperature sensing circuit, the LED driving current can be automatically compensated under various temperatures. We employ a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) as a thermometer. The VCO's frequency decreases when the temperature increases. Digital encoders are employed to encode this temperature information. This digital data is then used to automatically control switches, adjusting the current flow to compensate for LED current variations due to temperature changes. All functions were integrated to a silicon chip with about 2.2 mm2 area. With temperature chamber testing, the range from −20 °C to 120 °C, the results show that the error rate of the driving current can be reduced from 14 % to 0.7 % after temperature compensation.
