LED driver circuit Analysis of mobile phone white light LED driver circuit solution Mobile phones integrate video shooting, support video calls, Internet browsing and email functions, which increase the use time of white light LEDs. How to reduce the driving power and extend the battery life brings great challenges to the design of the driver circuit. This article introduces the characteristics of two common driver circuits. By selecting the appropriate driver circuit and device, an optimized driver design can be achieved. A major trend that promotes the transition of mobile phone displays from monochrome to color is the integration of shooting functions. Initially, the resolution of these imaging devices was quite limited, and the image quality was also poor. However, as technology develops, the resolution has progressed from the VGA level of 300,000 pixels to 1 to 2 million pixels, and is rapidly moving towards a resolution level of more than 3 million pixels. After continuous improvements in imaging devices, processors and software, consumers now want more digital camera functions, such as flash required in low lighting conditions, and even autofocus. At such resolutions, good image quality output and picture and video sharing become more practical. These higher-density CMOS imaging devices need to obtain more reflected light from the target, thus further promoting the demand for integrated flash functions. New Requirements for LED Driver Design Placing a traditional xenon flash into a fairly compact mobile phone is extremely challenging for design engineers because in addition to the bulky high-voltage capacitors for the flash, the bulb and the associated transformer and electronics must be added, and traditional flashes are not suitable for video shooting. Fortunately, LED manufacturers have begun to improve the light output of power LEDs by adopting new materials such as indium gallium nitride (InGaN).

On the other hand, innovations in semiconductor manufacturing technology and improvements in packaging methods have also improved the number of lumens that can be produced and the efficiency of photoelectric conversion. To produce the highest light output, these power LEDs may require a current output capability of 400mA or more with a pulse width of 50 to 200ms. However, for video applications, lower currents are required, but the time is not limited to a single pulse. In addition to size constraints and ergonomic considerations, these camera modules are usually integrated behind or above the screen so that users can use the LCD as a viewfinder to capture images, which is in the...
