In this paper, LED constant-light dimming driver is designed for the problems of low energy efficiency and large power consumption of traditional lighting. The system uses the constant current LED control chip NCL30160 as the LED light source driving circuit, uses the TSL2561 illuminance sensor to collect the indoor illuminance, and performs closed-loop control through the corresponding algorithm of the processor to realize the indoor constant illumination dimming. The algorithm realizes a smooth change of the PWM waveform to avoid flashing due to PWM mutation. At the same time, the system has increased the human body motion control to achieve different dimming schemes for no one and no time, so that the design is further energy-saving and intelligent.

1 System introduction and working principle

The system consists of PIC16F690 microcontroller, TSL2561 illuminance sensor, LED light source and LED driver circuit. Since the brightness of the LED is proportional to the operating current, adjusting the operating current can adjust the brightness of the LED. At present, there are mainly two dimming methods for adjusting forward current and pulse modulation dimming. Since pulse width modulation dimming has the advantages of no color shift, high dimming precision, dimming in combination with digital technology, wide dimming range, no flicker, etc., pulse modulation dimming is used in this paper.

The system mainly collects the illuminance feedback from the TSL2561 to the PIC16F690 processing chip, and performs corresponding algorithm processing through the PIC16F690 to output the PWM waveform which changes with the illuminance law. The LED lamp is driven by the driving circuit with the PWM interface to realize dimming. The system block diagram is shown in Figure 1.

At the same time, the human body motion control and button control are added in the system, which can detect the human body movement and automatically turn off the LED light when no one is used, further reducing the waste of electric energy; the button can adjust the frequency of the PWM waveform and set the maximum illumination of the environment, so that The system is more humane.

1.1 PIC16F690 microcontroller

The PIC16F690 microcontroller features a high-performance RISC CPU, low power consumption, and a rich set of peripheral resources to meet the hardware resource requirements of the system. Because the MCU is rich in resources, it not only satisfies the system requirements, but also does not waste resources, thus reducing the controller cost.

1.2 TSL2561 illuminance sensor

The TSL2561 is a high-speed, low-power, wide-range, programmable and flexible configuration light intensity digital conversion chip from TAOS. The chip's application provides the best display brightness and reduces power consumption. The TSL2561 has the following features:

1 Programmable configuration permission of the upper and lower thresholds of light intensity, when the detected illuminance exceeds the threshold, an interrupt signal can be generated;

2 digital output conforms to the standard SMBus and I2C bus protocols;

3 programmable control analog gain and digital output time;

4 ultra-small package and ultra low power consumption;

5 Automatically suppresses illumination fluctuations of 50 Hz/60 Hz.

The internal structure of the TSL2561 is shown in Figure 2. There are two photodiode channels inside, channel 0 and channel 1, where channel 0 is sensitive to both visible and infrared light, and channel 1 is only sensitive to infrared light. The current flowing through the photodiode is converted to a digital quantity by an integral A/D converter, and the digital quantity is stored in a register inside the chip after the conversion. The integral A/D converter will automatically perform the integral conversion process after one integration cycle is completed. The TSL2561 can be controlled by setting its internal 16 registers, which are accessible via standard SMBus or I2C bus protocols.
