摘要:
A current balance scheme for driving LED strings is disclosed. A power supply unit provides a driving voltage to drive a plurality of LED strings. A feedback selector is configured to select a minimum feedback signal indicative of the driving voltage to the power supply unit for regulating the driving voltage. Based on the minimum feedback signal, the driving voltage gets a minimum value to sufficiently drive the plurality of LED strings. A protection circuit is configured to protect the current balance circuit from high voltage especially when there is a shorted LED string.

An inventive isolated converter which exempts the auxiliary isolation devices with accurate voltage regulation is disclosed. The converter includes the primary side circuit with a primary controller controlling the on and off of the primary switch and a secondary side circuit with a secondary controller controlling the on and off of the secondary synchronous rectifier. The isolated converter uses the secondary controller to turn on the secondary synchronous rectifier after the secondary current decreases to zero to generate a negative tail current and turns off the secondary synchronous rectifier at a reference tail current peak value to generate a reflected negative current at the primary side circuit for turning on the primary switch.
