Light emitting diode (LED) lighting is widely used in current. However, lighting robustness is low in a series loop since the lighting shuts down as one LED fails. This study proposes a power chip for fault detection and isolation for enhancement of LED's fault-withstanding capability. The chip can automatically detect the failed LEDs and bypass them, and let others continue to work. The authors implemented four bypass loops using a power metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) on the single chip. This chip can drive 1 A with 4-bit current dimming, which includes four bypass power P-type MOSs, one power N-type MOS, schedule controller, level shifter and over voltage protection. The schedule controller with a state machine can quickly find which one LED fail and recover it soon. The prototyping chip was designed using TSMC 0.25 μm, which is the second generator highvoltage technology, and the resulting chip area with pads is only 1.3 × 1.7 mm 2. The chip had been successfully implemented and measured to drive and bypass four LED components or modules.
