An efficient Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamp driver circuit is proposed for retrofitting the conventionally used incandescent lamps with existing TRIAC dimmer. The dimming feature in a wide range of firing angle from 30¢X to 130¢X can be accomplished by means of double pulse-width modulation (DPWM) and analog current regulation. The LED lamp driver adopts a flyback converter with an auxiliary active power MOSFET for synchronous switch and an associated inductor for zero voltage switching (ZVS), leading to lower switching loss and thus achieving a higher circuit efficiency.
In the thesis, the mode operation of the driver circuit is analyzed and the design equations are derived accordingly. A laboratory circuit is designed for an 50 W LED lamp which is composed of 45 high-brightness white LEDs in series. Experiments are carried out to test the circuit performances with two dimming schemes. The experimental results indicate that the driver can achieve a circuit efficiency of 95 % at the rated output. When the LED lamp is dimmed, the circuit efficiency with DPWM is higher than that with the analog current regulation. On the other hand, the LED lamp dimmed by analog current regulation has a higher efficiency but a less color shift by DPWM.
