The models of the ripple suppressor U4 and the ripple suppressor U5 are RM06R20. RM06R20 suppresses the LED current ripple of 100/120 Hz by controlling the internal MOS. The capacitor between the VC pin and GND pin of RM06R20 is a compensation capacitor. RM06R20 converts the voltage on the capacitor into a reference voltage and adjusts the LED current through negative feedback control.


The models of the constant current driver U1, the constant current driver U2, and the constant current driver U3 are DT3100.


The range of the AC voltage is 200V-230V.


When the AC voltage from the electric supply is obtained as 100 Hz direct current through the bridge rectifier DB1, it is connected to the lighting lamp group LED1 through the constant current driver U1, and connected to the constant current driver U2 through the resistor R2 at the same time. The negative poles of the lighting lamp group LED1 and lighting lamp group LED2 are respectively connected with ripple suppressors U4 and U5 to suppress the 100 Hz ripple, reducing the ripple coefficient. The ripple is also filtered out through capacitors C1 and C2, so that the effect of flicker free is achieved.


When the voltage is turned on, the voltage gradually increases from 0-130V. As the voltage gradually increases, the constant current driver U1 is directly connected, and a portion of the current passes through the ripple suppressor U4 from the lighting lamp group LED1 and then through the constant current driver U3 to the ground. Similarly, another part of the current flows through the constant current driver U2, then flows from the lighting lamp group LED2 to the ripple suppressor U5, and then flows through the resistor R7 to the ground. The two lighting lamp groups operate in parallel.


When the voltage rises from 130V to 230V, the constant current driver U1 operates normally. The current flows from the constant current driver U1 to the lighting lamp group LED1, then flows through the ripple suppressor U4 to the diode D1 and resistor R4, and then flows through the lighting lamp group LED2 and the ripple suppressor U5, and finally flows through the resistor R7 to the ground. At this time, the lighting lamp group LED1 and lighting lamp group LED2 are in series working mode. By changing the working mode of the lighting lamp groups through the voltage, it can be ensured that the brightness of all lamp beads remains consistent when the lighting lamp group starts, resulting in better luminous effect.
