Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dimming controller, in particular to a microcontroller-based single-wire radio frequency dimmer. Background technique [0002] At present, dimming controllers are widely used in various fields. Most of the most common dimmers on the market adopt phase-controlled dimming operation, and currently support single live wire power supply. The phase control dimming controller cuts the sinusoidal voltage wave of the power supply with different phase angles according to the brightness requirements, thereby changing the effective value of the output voltage to adjust the brightness of the lamp. [0003] According to the cutting method, it can be divided into leading-edge phase-controlled dimming and trailing-edge phase-controlled dimming. The adjustment device used in leading-edge phase-controlled dimming is a thyristor, and the trailing-edge phase-controlled dimming uses IGBT transistors. Regardless of the leading edge phase cont...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Regardless of the leading edge phase control or the trailing edge phase control, after cutting the sine wave, high-order harmonics will be generated through the circuit, which will interfere and affect the power system or affect the work of other electronic equipment

[0004] In addition, most of the dimming products currently on the market use potentiometers to adjust the dimming operation. Although the dimming is accurate, it is still inconvenient in some occasions.

However, the infrared remote control method is used for dimming. The remote control and the dimmer must face each other in a straight line, and there must be no obstructions in the middle. The dimming method still cannot meet the flexible and changeable requirements.

The lack of support for single live wire power supply makes it difficult for dimmers to quickly popularize and replace traditional switch boxes

[0005] And when targeting high-power lamps, there is a lack of favorable power limiting protection measures. In the case of overcurrent, it is easy to burn the thyristor or IGBT transistor, resulting in paralysis of the circuit.
