초록

밝기가 동작 전류에 비례하는 LED 조명은 다수의 LED를 직렬 연결하여 정전류원으로 구동하는 방식을 널리 사용하고 있다. 이러한 방식에서는 일부 LED가 고장으로 개방되면 전류 통로가 끊어져 직렬 연결된 모든 LED가 꺼지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 LED 동작 전압보다 약 0.4V 정도 높은 항복전압을 갖는 제너 다이오드를 개별 LED와 병렬로 연결하여 LED 고장 시 전류 우회로를 확보하므로 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 회로를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 LED 정상 동작 시에는 제너 다이오드로 전류가 거의 흐리지 않고, LED 고장 시에는 제너 다이오드가 안정적으로 전류 우회로로 동작함을 확인하였다.

Since brightness is proportional to the operating current, a method of connecting several LEDs in series and driving with a constant current source is widely used for driving circuits of LED lights. Because several LEDs are connected in series, if some LEDs open due to a fault, the current path is broken and all other LEDs connected in series are turned off. In this paper, we designed a circuit to solve this problem by connecting a Zener diode having a breakdown voltage of about 0.4V higher than the LED operating voltage in parallel with each LED to create a current bypass in case of LED failure. Through simulations and experiments, it was confirmed that the current of the Zener diode hardly flows when the LED is operating normally, and that the Zener diode stably operates as a current bypass when the LED fails.
