The pulse width modulation signal generator circuit outputs the pulse width modulation signal to the light-emitting circuit connected thereto. When the transition in the level of the synchronous signal meets the specified transition and the width of the one of the plurality of pulse waves that is currently generated in the pulse width modulation signal does not reach the preset pulse width yet, the pulse modulation controller circuit controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit to forcibly transit the one of the plurality of pulse waves from a high level to a low level so as to stop increasing the width of the one of the plurality of pulse waves, to maintain the one of the plurality of pulse waves as an incomplete pulse wave, and to modulate the widths of one or more subsequent ones of the plurality of pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal to be larger than the preset pulse width of the one or more subsequent ones of the plurality of pulse waves.

Reference is made to
The dimming control system of the present disclosure includes a synchronous signal generator circuit 10, a synchronous signal detector circuit 20, a pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30, a pulse width comparing circuit 40 and a pulse modulation controller circuit 50.
The synchronous signal detector circuit 20 is connected to the synchronous signal generator circuit 10 and the pulse width comparing circuit 40. The pulse width comparing circuit 40 is connected to the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 and the pulse modulation controller circuit 50. The pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 is connected to a light-emitting circuit 99.
The synchronous signal generator circuit 10 may output a synchronous signal Sync1 shown in
When the synchronous signal generator circuit 10 sequentially outputs the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1, the synchronous signal detector circuit 20 continually detects a level of the synchronous signal Sync1 from the synchronous signal generator circuit 10 to determine a transition in the level of the synchronous signal Sync1. The synchronous signal detector circuit 20 instantly outputs the transition in the level of the synchronous signal Sync 1 to the pulse width comparing circuit 40.
The pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 sequentially outputs a plurality of pulse waves of a pulse width modulation signal PWM1 as shown in
In the first embodiment, a time point (of a rising edge) at which each of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1 transits from a high level to a low level is set as a specified pulse width modulation time point of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1. In the pulse width modulation signal PWM1, widths of some of the plurality of pulse waves that start to be generated from the specified pulse width modulation time point (such as a time point t1 or t2 as shown in
In other words, when the synchronous signal Sync1 transits from the low level to the high level, the pulse width comparing circuit 40 determines that the transition in the level of the synchronous signal Sync1 meets a specified transition. At this time, the pulse width comparing circuit 40 determines that the current time reaches a time point from which the pulse waves having the modulated widths start being generated in the pulse width modulation signal PWM1.
When the transition in the level of the synchronous signal Sync1 meets the specified transition, the pulse width comparing circuit 40 determines whether or not the width of the pulse wave that is currently generated in the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 reaches a preset pulse width to output a pulse width comparing signal.
The pulse modulation controller circuit 50 may, according to the pulse width comparing signal from the pulse width comparing circuit 40, determine the level and the width of each of the plurality of pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 that are outputted to the light-emitting circuit 99 by the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 for controlling lighting states of one or more light-emitting components (such as, but not limited to light-emitting diodes) included in the light-emitting circuit 99.
For example, when the current time reaches the time point t1 (of the rising edge) at which a second one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1 transits from the low level to the high level as shown in
Further, when the current time reaches a time point t2 (of the rising edge) at which a third one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1 transits from the low level to the high level (that is the specified transition), a width of a pulse wave PS12 among the plurality of pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 that is currently constructed by the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 has not reached a preset pulse width yet. At this time, the pulse wave PS12 is an incomplete pulse wave. Under this condition, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to continually construct the pulse wave PS12 according to the pulse width comparing signal from the pulse width comparing circuit 40. After the width of the pulse wave PS12 reaches the preset pulse width and thus forms a complete pulse wave, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to generate sequentially subsequent ones of the plurality of pulse waves in the pulse width modulation signal PWM1.
As described above, the transition of the synchronization signal Sync 1 from the low level to the high level is set as the specified transition. The plurality of pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 are set to be modulated at the time points of the rising edges of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In practice, the transition of the synchronization signal Sync1 from the high level to the low level may be set as the specified transition. The plurality of pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 are set to be modulated at the time points of falling edges of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1. Under this condition, when the synchronization signal Sync1 transits from the high level to the low level, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 determines that the transition in the level of the synchronization signal Sync1 meets the specified transition.
Alternatively, the transitions of the synchronization signal Sync1 from the low level to the high level and from the high level to the low level may be set as the specified transition. The time points (of the rising edge) of the synchronization signal Sync1 transiting from the low level to the high level and the time points of the synchronization signal Sync1 transiting from the high level to the low level (of the falling edge) are set as the specified pulse width modulation time points of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1. Under this condition, when the synchronization signal Sync1 transits from the low level to the high level or from the high level to the low level, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 determines that the transition in the level of the synchronization signal Sync1 meets the specified transition.
When the transition in the level of the synchronization signal Sync 1 (for example, the transition in the rising edges of the second and third ones of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronization signal Sync1) meets the specified transition, the width of the pulse wave that is currently generated in the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 may not have reached the preset pulse width yet. Under this condition, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to delay generating the subsequent pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 until the width of the pulse wave that is currently generated reaches the preset pulse width.
Conversely, when the transition in the level of the synchronization signal Sync1 meets the specified transition (for example, the transition in a rising edge of a fourth one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronization signal Sync1 as shown in
The pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 may modulate the preset pulse width of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 over time as shown in
A time interval between a transition time point of each one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1 (for example, from the low level to the high level) and a transition time point of a next one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1 (for example, from the low level to the high level) is defined as a lighting control time interval as described herein.
The pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 may set the preset pulse width of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 to have different values respectively within the plurality of lighting control time intervals. As a result, time lengths that the light-emitting circuit 99 emits light within the plurality of lighting control time intervals, respectively, are different from each other. The time length that the light-emitting circuit 99 emits light within each of the plurality of lighting control time intervals depends on the preset pulse width of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1. In other words, the time length that the light-emitting circuit 99 emits light within each of the plurality of lighting control time intervals depends on a duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1.
Reference is made to
The same or similar descriptions of the first and second embodiments of the present disclosure are not repeated in the following.
In the first embodiment, the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync1 outputted by the synchronous signal generator circuit 10 have the same frequency such as 60 Hz as shown in
As shown in
It is worth noting that, at a time point of a rising edge of a third one of the plurality of waveforms (that has the frequency “60 Hz”) of the synchronous signal Sync2, a width of a pulse wave PS22 that is currently constructed in the pulse width modulation signal PWM2 by the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 does not reach the second preset pulse width W2 that is set within an entire period of the second one of the plurality of waveforms (that has the frequency “90 Hz”) in the synchronous signal Sync2. At this time, the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 continually constructs the width of the pulse wave PS22 in the pulse width modulation signal PWM2. After the width of the pulse wave PS22 is constructed to reach the second preset pulse width W2, the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 sequentially constructs a plurality of pulse waves each having a third preset pulse width W3 in the pulse width modulation signal PWM2.
At a time point of a rising edge of a fourth one of the plurality of waveforms (that has the frequency “75 Hz”) in the synchronous signal Sync2, a width of a pulse wave PS23 that is currently constructed in the pulse width modulation signal PWM2 by the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 reaches the third preset pulse width W3 that is set within an entire period of the third one of the plurality of waveforms (that has the frequency “60 Hz”) in the synchronous signal Sync2. At the same time, a non-working period of the pulse wave PS23 of the pulse width modulation signal PWM2 ends. Therefore, at the time point of the rising edge of the fourth one of the plurality of waveforms (that has the frequency “75 Hz”) of the synchronous signal Sync2, the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 generates a next pulse wave having the first preset pulse width W1.
Reference is made to
The dimming control system of the present disclosure includes the synchronous signal generator circuit 10, the synchronous signal detector circuit 20, the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30, the pulse width comparing circuit 40 and the pulse modulation controller circuit 50.
The synchronous signal detector circuit 20 is connected to the synchronous signal generator circuit 10 and the pulse width comparing circuit 40. The pulse width comparing circuit 40 is connected to the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 and the pulse modulation controller circuit 50. The pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 is connected to the light-emitting circuit 99.
As shown in
As shown in
However, when the current time reaches a time point at which the second one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync3 transits from the low level to the high level, a width of a pulse wave PS311 that is currently generated in the pulse width modulation signal PWM3 by the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 does not reach the first preset pulse width W1. Under this condition, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to forcibly transit the pulse wave PS311 from the high level to the low level to stop increasing the width of the pulse wave PS311. The pulse wave PS311 is maintained as an incomplete pulse wave. A falling edge of the pulse wave PS311 is aligned with a rising edge of the synchronous signal Sync3.
As described above, in the first to third embodiments of the present disclosure, the transition of the synchronization signal from the low level to the high level is set as the specified transition, and the plurality of pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal are modulated at the time points (of the rising edges) of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal transit from the low level to the high level. In practice, the transition of the synchronization signal from the high level to the low level (and from the low level to the high level) may be set as the specified transition. In practice, the falling edge of the incomplete pulse wave of the pulse width modulation signal may also be aligned with a falling edge of the synchronous signal.
It is worth noting that, after the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 outputs the pulse wave PS311 that is the incomplete pulse wave, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to modulate widths of N subsequent pulse waves (such as, but not limited to three pulse waves PS321, PS322, PS323 as shown in
In detail, the pulse width comparing circuit 40 may calculate a difference between the first preset pulse width W1 and the pulse wave PS311 that is the incomplete pulse wave of the pulse width modulation signal PWM3. The pulse modulation controller circuit 50, according to the difference from the pulse width comparing circuit 40, determines the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to modulate by how much (N) subsequent pulse waves that are generated later than the incomplete pulse wave in the pulse width modulation signal PWM3, and determines target widths of the modulated pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal PWM3.
By the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30, working periods of the N pulse waves that are generated later than the incomplete pulse wave in the pulse width modulation signal PWM3 are increased with an increase in the widths of the N pulse waves. At the same time, the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 may modulate non-working periods of the N pulse waves the pulse width modulation signal PWM3 to decrease the non-working periods of the N pulse waves the pulse width modulation signal PWM3. As a result, an entire period and a frequency of each of the N pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal PWM3 is not changed.
The transition of a third one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync3 transits from the low level to the high level meets the specified transition. When the current time reaches the time point at which the third one of the plurality of waveforms of the synchronous signal Sync3 transits from the low level to the high level, a width of a pulse wave PS324 that is currently generated in the pulse width modulation signal PWM3 by the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 does not reach the second preset pulse width W2. Under this condition, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to forcibly transit the pulse wave PS324 from the high level to the low level to stop increasing the width of the pulse wave PS324. The pulse wave PS324 is maintained as an incomplete pulse wave.
It is worth noting that, after the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 outputs the pulse wave PS324 of the pulse width modulation signal PWM3, the pulse modulation controller circuit 50 controls the pulse width modulation signal generator circuit 30 to modulate widths of M pulse waves that are generated later than the pulse wave PS324 in the pulse width modulation signal PWM3 to increase the widths of the M pulse waves (to be larger than the third preset pulse width W3). For example, the modulated M pulse waves are four pulse waves PS411, PS412, PS413, PS414 as shown in
In conclusion, the present disclosure provides the dimming control system having the asynchronous pulse width modulation mechanism. Each time when the transition in the level of the synchronous signal meets the specified transition (for example, from the low level to the high level), a time point at which the lighting state of the light-emitting circuit is adjusted is reached. At this time, the dimming control system of the present disclosure appropriately modulates the widths of the pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal to prevent unexpected conditions such as abnormal flashing from occurring in the light-emitting circuit that operates according to the pulse width modulation signal.
