Abstract

An integrated buck-boost-buck-type single-switch multistring resonant light-emitting diode (LED) driver is proposed and analyzed. It combines buck-boost and buck converters to achieve passive current balancing and power factor correction. With this circuit configuration, the proposed LED driver employs only one low-side connection active switch, resulting in a very simple control requirement involving one closed-loop controller for regulating one output current. Other output currents can be balanced automatically by resonant capacitor and storage capacitors, making the control strategy economical. In addition, high efficiency is achieved due to single-stage power conversion. Taking three-string LED driver as an example, the proposed buck-boost-buck-type single-switch LED driver is studied in terms of operating principle, current balancing principle, power factor (PF) analysis, voltage gain, and key circuit parameter design. Finally, an 84-W high-PF three-string LED driver prototype with 94.3% peak efficiency is built to verify the analytical results.
