Embodiment Construction

[0034] Below, refer to Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 A lighting control device for a vehicle lamp according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0035] Such as figure 1 As shown, the lighting control device 1 includes: a switching regulator 2 that supplies a driving current (hereinafter referred to as 'LED current') to an LED (not shown); and receives a PWM dimming signal S as a dimming control signal. P (refer to figure 2 ) and control the dimming of the LED, so that the average current of the LED current is reduced as the control unit 3 of the control component; and the drive control signal S C output to the drive circuit 5 of the switching regulator 2.

[0036] The control unit 3 has: a current detection unit 4 that detects the LED current; and compares the current value of the LED current with a prescribed reference voltage, and feedback-controls the output of the switching regulator 2 so that the current value of the LED current is equal to the r...

Abstract

A lighting control device (1) of a lighting device for a vehicle includes a switching regulator (2) for supplying a driving current to a semiconductor light source. The lighting control device (1) also includes control means (3) having a current detecting portion (4) for detecting the driving current and serving to control dimming of the semiconductor light source in order to reduce a mean current of the driving current by repeating driving and stopping operations of the switching regulator (2) at a high speed upon receipt of a dimming control signal. The current detecting portion (4) has a capacitor (C2) for detecting the LED current which is detected in teh driving period of the switching regulator (2) in the stopping period after the driving period.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lighting control device for a vehicle lamp, and relates to a lighting control device for a vehicle lamp that controls lighting of a semiconductor light source composed of a semiconductor light emitting element. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a vehicle lamp, it is known to use a semiconductor light emitting element such as a light emitting diode (LED: Light Emitting Diode) as a semiconductor light source, and such a vehicle lamp is equipped with a lighting control system for controlling the lighting of the LED. device. [0003] The above-mentioned lighting control device has a switching regulator (switching regulator) that supplies a driving current to the LED and a control unit that includes a current detection unit that detects the driving current therein. The operation of driving and stopping is repeatedly performed at high speed by turning on and off the supplied voltage, thereby controlling dimm...
