  • Patent number: 8207685
    Abstract: The LED driver of the present invention comprises multiple LED arrays, at least one dividing diode, a power module, a driving module, at least one switch pair and a voltage sensing module. Each LED array comprises multiple LEDs connected in series. The dividing diode is mounted between adjacent LED arrays. The power module is connected to an external power source and forms a pulsating direct current (DC) voltage. The driving module receives the pulsating DC voltage outputs a constant current to the LED arrays. The voltage sensing module closes and opens the switch pairs that changes electrical configuration of the LED arrays. The LED driving method of the present invention comprises setting multiple voltage drops and at least one reference voltage; sensing an incoming voltage to compare with the reference voltage; and changing ways of connections of LED arrays based on the reference voltage and the incoming voltage.
