本文提出結合降升壓型轉換器與降壓型轉換器之交流-直流高功因可調光之發光二極體(LED)驅動器。電路使用一個功率電晶體作為主動開關,而主動開關之閘極電壓為一低頻封包內含有高頻脈波之驅動訊號。降升壓型轉換器作為功因修正電路,並設計電感電流工作於不連續電流模式(DCM),以達到高功率因數之目的;降壓型轉換器作為直流-直流轉換器,並設計電感電流工作於連續電流模式(CCM),以降低輸出電流漣波。而調整主動開關之低頻訊號導通率即可改變LED之平均電流,進而達到LED調光之目的。 本文針對電路之工作模式詳作分析,並設計製作60W LED驅動器之雛形電路,經由理論推導與實驗結果顯示所提電路之可行性。由實驗結果顯示,於額定功率下之整體電路轉換效率為87.68%;功率因數高達0.997;電流總諧波失真率為1.852%。
This thesis proposes a high power factor dimmable LED driver that consists of a buck-boost converter and a buck converter. The circuit adopts a power MOSFET as the active switch. The gate voltage of the MOSFET is a signal that consists of high-frequency pulses within a low-frequency pulse. The buck-boost converter serves as a power-factor corrector (PFC) where the inductor is operated at discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to achieve an unity power factor. The buck converter serves as a DC-DC converter where the current of inductor is operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM) to reduce the ripple of the output current. The duty ratio of the low- frequency pulse is adjusted to control the LED average current for dimming operation. The detail circuit operation and analysis are provided. A prototype circuit of a 60-W LED driver was built and tested. The feasibility of the proposed circuit is demonstrated by theoretical derivation and experimental results. The measured circuit efficiency, the power factor, and the total current harmonic distortion at the rated power operation are 87.68%, 0.997 and 1.852%, respectively.
