Circuit and method for flicker suppression in light emitting diodes (LEDs) |
摘要 |
A circuit for flicker suppression in a Light Emitting Diode (LED) has a latch. The latch has a first state set with a trailing edge of Pulse Width Modulated Dimming (PWMD) pulse, and a second state set delayed with respect to the PWMD trailing edge. A trigger circuit is coupled to the latch. The trigger circuit sends a signal to the latch to change to the second state when a decision point occurs during a time following a duty limit Dmax of a gate of a LED driver circuit. |

1. A circuit for flicker suppression in a Light Emitting Diode (LED) comprising:
a latch, the latch having a first state set with a trailing edge of Pulse Width Modulated Dimming (PWMD) pulse, and a second state set delayed with respect to the PWMD trailing edge; and a trigger circuit coupled to the latch, the trigger circuit sending a signal to the latch to change to the second state when a decision point occurs during a time following a duty limit Dmax of a gate of a LED driver circuit, wherein the trigger circuit comprises: a plurality of logic gates, wherein the plurality of logic gates provides the signal to the latch to change to the second state when a decision point occurs during a time following a duty limit Dmax of a gate of a LED driver circuit; and a delay circuit coupled to at last one of the plurality of logic gates. |
