本論文提出一應用於背光顯示之可調亮度與色彩之多通道RGB LED驅動器。以一線性控制直流-直流轉換器為RGB LED提供高於25mA之穩定電流。透過操作在2KHz之PWM控制,以外部輸入之電壓變化控制亮度。此LED 驅動器系統亦能經由調光電路調節個別色彩,在三個通道之中,紅、綠、藍色之驅動通道效率分別為90%、93%、93%。此架構亦提供數位輸入埠供微處理器以數位訊號控制,並使用線性電流調節器為多條路徑提供穩定偏壓電流。紅色驅動通道之溫度係數為75.43 ppm/°C,綠色與藍色驅動通道之溫度係數則皆為89.46 ppm/°C本架構以0.35micron TSMC 2P4M 5V製程技術進行設計與模擬,晶片面積為 2.31x1.48 (mm2)
This paper proposes a dimmable multi-channel Red-Green-Blue (RGB) LED Driver for backlighting and display and applies variable control technique to regulate color mixing. A linear Control DC-DC converter is used to provide the needed constant current for the RGB LEDs. It is designed to provide greater than 25mA constant output current with high accuracy. A PWM control method is used, of which the variable external voltage determines the available brightness levels and has a dimming frequency of 2 kHz. The proposed LED driver system is also able to dim each individual LED color through the dimming controller circuit; for each of the 3 channel per color around 90%, 93% 93% efficiencies for the red, green and blue channels respectively. A digital port was provided for the option of Digital dimming using a microcontroller. A linear current regulator is presented and this can be extended and applied to multiple strings. The temperature coefficient for the red channel is 75.43 ppm/°C and 89.46 ppm/°C for both green and blue channel. This was designed and simulated using 0.35micron TSMC 2P4M 5V technology and the chip area is 2.31x1.48 (mm2).
