Academic Edito: his Bingham Received: 3 Novembe 04 / Accepted: Mach 05 / Published: 8 Mach 05 Abstact: In this study, to achieve the constant cuent dive and bightness contol without a sepaate pulse width modulation (PWM) convete, a single convete is designed and veified by expeiment unde the condition of a multiple LED light load with diffeent output voltage (Vf) chaacteistics. In the case of the input of 40 Watt class level, the poposed convete can dive two voltage type 95 Vdc (300 ma) light emitting diode (LED) lights loads and 0 Vdc (300 ma) LED lights loads simultaneously. In addition, to impove commecial compatibility, the poposed convete is opeated in a wide ange of the input voltage 90~64 Vac; also, the Powe Facto oection (PF) cicuit with the input powe facto of moe than 0.9 is added. In ode to maximize the powe convesion efficiency, a LL esonant convete is applied to the PF block with the output voltage of 380 Vdc and to a D-D convesion block. Finally, eliability of the poposed convete is veified though total hamonic distotion (THD) and electomagnetic intefeence (EMI) tests.

Enegies 05, 8 6. Intoduction Recently, the topic of low-cabon geen gowth industy has been actively eseached and developed. Especially, the enewable enegy and cabon dioxide emission maket has been apidly expanding due to climate change and the enegy cisis. Enegy savings ae equied in ode to educe the cabon dioxide that causes the geen-house effect. The total global powe consumption of lighting is tillion, 00 billion kwh, which is %~5% of the global annual powe consumption..7 billion tons of cabon oxide is emitted annually accoding to the powe consumption of lighting. Fo this eason, eseach into highly efficient lights has been actively caied out. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) has high luminous efficiency and 0%~30% powe savings compaed to a conventional light souce. Annually 50 billion kwh powe and 50 million tons of cabon oxide could be educed though the use of LED lights [,]. The LED is tuned on when the applied voltage is moe than the fowad voltage, a LED is a diode. To modify the vaiable lighting chaacteistics, multi LEDs can be composed as a seies aay o paallel sting. Fo the design of an LED convete, consideation of LED fowad voltage vaiation (±5%~0%) is equied [3 8]. Figue shows a simplified LED diving cicuit with a multi-sting stuctue. Since the cuents diffe between each channel accoding to the impedance, a lage cuent can be injected into one channel of low impedance and can educe the life time of the LEDs, leading to thei destuction [9,0]. Recently, to achieve LEDs with high luminous efficiency, multi LEDs ae used in a single luminay stuctue. In the case of multi-sting lighting, each LED sting has a diffeent impedance. Because all the LEDs (Vf) have diffeent voltages, an individual boost o buck PWM convete is needed fo each LED. In addition, in the case of outdoo lights such as steet lights and secuity lights, vaiable bightness is needed accoding to the lighting conditions and a multi LED dive is equied [ 3]. Howeve, when applying individual convetes to each LED, the system cost is inceased and the efficiency and life time of the system ae educed. Figue. Simplified LED diving cicuit with multi-sting stuctue. In this pape, an LL esonant convete fo diving multiple LED lights using the cuent balancing of a capacito and tansfome is poposed. The poposed convete can dive multi LED stings without an individual convete with constant cuent contol and dimming contol. To impove the compatibility

Enegies 05, 8 7 of the poduct, the poposed convete is designed with a wide input voltage ange of 90~64 Vac and high powe facto (ove 0.9). Futhemoe, to maximize the efficiency, a D/D block is designed as an LL convete. A THD and an EMI noise tests ae pefomed to veify the eliability of the poposed convete.. onvete fo Diving LED Lights.. onventional onvete fo LED Application Figue shows a conventional convete type fo high powe LED lighting powe. The system consists of an A powe input pat and a PF cicuit fo impoving the powe facto, a D/D convete fo building output voltage, and an LED dive fo poviding a constant cuent to the LED load. A fly-back and LL esonance convete ae usually used fo the D/D convete [4 7]. Figue. onventional LED diving cicuit. Figue 3a shows a buck D/D convete mostly used fo constant LED cuent contol. The buck convete can be adapted in the case of an LED voltage lowe than the input voltage, and equies a duty atio of less than 85%. The output voltage is contolled by the MOSFET s on/off opeation though the chage and dischage of an inducto cuent. Figue 3b shows a boost D/D convete which is used when the LED voltage is highe than the input voltage. The convete can achieve 90% uppe efficiency and has an advantage in EMI due to the filte effect of the main inductance [8]. (a) (b) Figue 3. Buck and Boost convete fo LED Application.

Enegies 05, 8 8.. Poposed uent Balancing onvete fo Diving LED Lights Usually, a high switching fequency is equied to educe the size of the convete, but this causes an incease of switching loss in a had switching mode. In this pape, an LL esonance convete with Zeo Voltage Switching (ZVS) opeation is poposed. The poposed convete using high fequency and ZVS is adapted to educe switching loss. Figue 4 shows the schematic of the poposed convete. As shown, a D blocking capacito, clamping diode, and cuent balancing tansfome ae used instead of the switching egulato in the second stage of the convete.

Poposed multi LED lights dive convete consists of fou blocks. BLK: A PF block fo achieving high powe facto with wide input voltage ange fom 90 Vac to 64 Vac. BLK: A half bidge block makes a squae wave voltage with 380 Vdc input and nealy 50% duty atio. The block has a shot dead time to ensue continuous cuent flow. BLK3: A esonant tank block consisting of a capacito and magnetizing inductance of tansfome L m. The esonance tank opeates with high fequency and ceates a sinusoidal cuent fom the squae wave voltage fom BLK. Since the pimay cuent I P is delayed by esonance, MOSFET is tuned on with the ZVS condition. BLK4: A esisto R S of this block is used fo LED cuent sensing and limiting. A egulated D voltage is applied to an LED load though D a ( D n ) and D a ( D n ). a ( n ) and a ( n ) ae connected paallel to the LED load and the D voltage is made smooth. The lage capacitance can futhe educe A noise. A capacito B allows only an A signal to pass. At the fist half cycle of A signal, the capacito B compensates the voltage diffeences of each channel and dives a high voltage channel. At the othe

Enegies 05, 8 9 half cycle of the A signal, the capacito B emoves the offset voltage and dives a low voltage channel. Thus, duing a single peiod ( T S ), the capacito chages/dischages the total enegy and the change of voltage is zeo. This can be expessed by Equation (). Based on Equations () and (), the voltage change of the capacito B is calculated as zeo, which is a basic pinciple of a capacito volt-sec balance equation: tt s VB ( tts ) VB( t) i t Bdt () tt s 0 ib ( t) dt T t () s Since the balancing tansfomes ae opeating unde A excitation, the following Equation (3): NTa ita NTa ita N Tn i Tn N Tn i Tn (3) Pimay tuns and pimay cuent espectively of the balancing tansfome.

The opeation mode is classified as within the ZVS egion with high switching fequency and the ZS egion, with low switching fequency elative to esonant fequency. An LL convete is usually used with a ZVS condition because in the case of a ZS condition, a high cuent is injected when the switch is on, which destoys the MOSFET. If the maximum gain point is equied to move left o a balanced gain chaacteistic is equied, enlaging L n can be useful. Figue 6 shows the Mode opeation in the equivalent cicuit of the convete s seconday side. A pimay side tansfome is conveted to inductance in the equivalent cicuit. L m is mutual inductance, while L lk and L lk ae the leakage inductance of tansfome at the pimay and seconday side, espectively. R L and R L ae conveted values of the LED load. The input voltage is twice the cente tap voltage Vin /4n, thus R L is moe appopiate fo a high voltage LED load than R L. An output cuent flows though B by D a and L b.

LEDs have high luminous efficiency and 0%~30% saving cost effect compaed to a conventional light souce. Theefoe, eseach and development on an LED dive has ecently been actively caied out. Geneally, LED s can be configued with a vaiety of opeating voltages and cuents. Also, LED s have the advantage of being able to have a multi-sting channel. A conventional multi LED dive system uses an individual LED dive fo each channel and this induces the need fo many components, educes the system life time, and has low efficiency. In this pape, a novel method fo a multiple LED dive convete using capacito and tansfome cuent balancing is poposed. The poposed convete has consideably fewe components and thus saves space compaed to the conventional convete. The poposed convete consists of fou blocks: () the PF block fo high powe facto implementation; () a half bidge block to geneate a squae wave voltage with 380 Vdc input; (3) and (4) both blocks consist of a esonant tank and balanced capacito-tansfome cicuit. The poposed convete opeates using ZVS commutation to achieve high efficiency and to impove the EMI. Though the theoetical analysis and expeiments, the poposed convete is analyzed and veified. In the expeimental esults, the poposed convete was measued at a high powe facto (ove 0.9) and high efficiency (ove 90%) pefomance. In addition, the EMI and THD chaacteistics wee veified fo the eliability of the convete.
