SINGLE-STAGE DIGITAL POWER CONVERTER FOR DRIVING LEDS

摘要

This invention presents a single-stage power converter for driving many number of Light-Emitting-Diode (LED). The power converter converts an AC input voltage into DC current source and regulates the current flowing into the LED. In addition, the AC input current is controlled to have a sinusoidal waveform synchronized with the AC input voltage so that AC input Power Factor is corrected. Hence, both of Power Factor Correction (PFC) and LED current regulation are obtained simultaneously by using a single power conversion stage. So higher efficiency with low cost can be obtained.
