Abstract

The ongoing challenge in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is to integrate power and control circuits into a single chip to reduce the number and cost of components, minimize size, and enhance reliability. This integration requires a reduction in power dissipation on the chip, improved efficiency, and smaller magnetic components. Recently, hybrid LED drivers have been proposed to address this integration challenge. Unlike traditional transformerless single-stage LED drivers, which implement boost or buck topologies, hybrid drivers reduce pulsed voltage on power semiconductors. The proposed hybrid LED driver aims to prevent power switches from hard switching, which in turn reduces metal–oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor or MOSFETs' overheating in the integrated circuit body, increases the reliability of the chip, and alleviates electromagnetic interference or EMI issues. The proposed improvement to the hybrid driver is analyzed. The control method was suggested. Computer modelling was provided to confirm the feasibility, controllability and resulting advantages of the proposal. The proposed hybrid LED driver is attractive for circuit integration to reduce size and cost compared to the achievements of previous art.

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.
