Abstract
This paper presents a single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) LED driver with precise dimming and full dimming range. Based on the coordination of a string-level scheme and a system-level dimming scheme, the proposed SIMO LED driver can overcome practical constraints of existing SIMO LED drivers such as limited dimming range and needs for high-current switches. The proposal can achieve dimming precision up to an accuracy of 0.8% and also full dimming range. It has the flexibility of using either phase-shift or synchronous pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) switching for dimming control. The proposed circuit and control operations have been practically verified with a 25-W off-line SIMO-driven LED system. Practical evaluations of its power quality and energy efficiency are also provided.
