LED\u2019s open the way to new applications and markets in various different fields with a broad spectrum of requirements. Beneath other beneficial characteristics, in general, LED\u2019s provide a high reliability, and a lifetime of more than 50;000 hours can be reached. Poor workmanship in manufacturing and unfavorable operational conditions may reduce the reliability significantly. To avoid failures or to achieve fast resolutions of existing problems a good knowledge of the failure mechanisms and suitable analytical methods is required. Qihe LED machine is going to provide an overview of state of the art techniques in LED-Failure analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main cause of LED failure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

a, Sudden increase in supply voltage.
b. The short circuit of a certain component or printed line or other wires in the circuit forms a partial short circuit of the LED power supply path, which increases the voltage at this place.
c, A certain LED is short-circuited due to its own quality damage, and its original voltage drop is passed on to other LEDs.
d. The temperature in the lamp is too high, which will deteriorate the characteristics of the LED.
e, Water has entered the interior of the lamp, and the water is conductive.
f, The anti-static work was not done well during assembly, so that the inside of the LED has been damaged by static electricity. Although normal voltage and current values are applied, it is very easy to cause damage to the LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what should we do to protect the LED circuit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A fuse (tube) is used in the protection circuit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since the fuse is disposable, has a slow response speed, poor effect, and is troublesome to use, the fuse is not suitable for use in finished LED lamps, because LED lamps are now mainly used in urban glory projects and lighting projects. It requires the LED protection circuit to be very strict: it can immediately start the protection when the normal use current is exceeded, so that the power supply path of the LED is disconnected, so that both the LED and the power supply can be protected, and the power supply can be automatically restored after the entire lamp is normal. Does not affect LED work. The circuit should not be too complicated and the volume should not be too large, and the cost should be low. Therefore, it is very difficult to implement the method of using a fuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes (TVS for short)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A transient voltage suppressor diode is a high-efficiency protection device in the form of a diode. When its two poles are impacted by reverse transient high energy, it can immediately reduce the high resistance between its two poles to low resistance at a speed of 10 minus 12 seconds in a very short time, absorbing up to several thousand watts of surge power , to clamp the voltage between the two poles at a predetermined voltage value, effectively protecting the precision components in the electronic circuit. Transient voltage suppression diodes have the advantages of fast response time, large transient power, low leakage current, good consistency of breakdown voltage deviation, easy control of clamping voltage, no damage limit, and small size. But it is not easy to find a TVS device that meets the required voltage value in actual use. The damage of LED light beads is mainly caused by overheating of the chip due to excessive current. TVS can only detect overvoltage but not overcurrent. It is very difficult to select a suitable voltage protection point, and this kind of device cannot be produced and it is difficult to use it in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose resettable fuse<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Resettable fuse, also known as polymer positive temperature thermistor PTC, is composed of polymer and conductive particles. After special processing, the conductive particles form a chain-like conductive path in the polymer. When the normal working current passes (or the components are at normal ambient temperature), the PTC self-recovery fuse is in a low-resistance state; The heat generated rapidly expands the polymer, which cuts off the conductive path formed by the conductive particles, and the PTC self-recovery fuse is in a high-resistance state; when the overcurrent (over-temperature state) in the circuit disappears, the polymer cools down and the volume recovers Normal, in which the conductive particles re-form the conductive path, and the PTC resettable fuse is in the initial low-resistance state. In the normal working state, the heat of the self-recovery fuse is very small, and in the abnormal working state, its heat is very high, and the resistance value is very large, which limits the current passing through it, thereby playing a protective role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a specific circuit, you can choose: shunt protection and overall protection.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Shunt protection. Generally, LED lights are divided into many series branches. We can add a PTC component in front of each branch for protection respectively. The advantage of this method is high accuracy and good reliability of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall protection. A PTC component is added in front of all light beads to protect the whole lamp. The advantage of this method is that it is simple and does not occupy a large volume. For civilian products, the result of this protection in actual use is satisfactory.<\/p>\n\n\n\u9605\u8bfb\u66f4\u591a\uff1aLED Failure Modes and Methods for Analysis<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n
