Abstract

Reducing the cost, increasing efficiency, and improving the reliability of LED drivers are critical due to the widespread adoption of LED lighting. This paper presents a research study on a novel boost LED driver designed to minimize voltage pulsations across power switches, thereby reducing dynamic losses in all power components. A small number of Schottky diodes were used to reduce conduction losses. To reduce switching losses in semiconductors, a quasi-resonant switching (QRS) at zero current was implemented for driving transistors. The operating principle is analyzed using computer modeling and validated experimentally in critical conduction mode (CrCM). In the initial evaluation, one version of the proposed driver achieved a high efficiency of up to 98.7% at 120 W input power. Additionally, the size and value of the main inductor were significantly reduced. The proposed driver provides an efficient and scalable solution for high-power LED lighting. Lower dynamic losses and reduced impulse voltages create opportunities for integrating the control circuit and power switches into a single chip.
