Abstract: There is provided a lamp driver including: a power supplying part switching an input power, supplying a driving power to at least one lamp, and controlling brightness of the at least one lamp according to a dimming signal; a signal supplying part supplying a first comparison result signal obtained by comparing a current sensing signal sensing a current flowing through the at least one lamp with a reference signal having a current level set beforehand when the dimming signal is a logic high signal, and supplying a second comparison result signal having a voltage level set beforehand when the dimming signal is a logic low signal; and a controlling part controlling the switching of the power supplying part according to a signal being supplied by the signal supplying part.

Abstract: There is provided a backlight unit driver capable of driving multi-channel lamps of a backlight unit, especially LED lamps, by supplying a driving power to the lamps using a single transformer and maintaining the current balance of the driving power supplied to each of the lamps.

Abstract: Provided is a flyback DC/DC converter for a power supply. In the flyback DC/DC converter, a flyback driver unit provides a primary current. A transformer includes a plurality of secondary coils for inducing energy from the primary coil receiving the primary current. A rectifier unit includes a plurality of rectifier diodes for rectifying secondary currents of the corresponding secondary coils of the transformer. A plurality of clamp diodes are connected in series to the corresponding rectifier diodes of the rectifier unit in a forward direction to clamp ringing voltage across the corresponding rectifier diodes when the power switch is turned off. Accordingly, the voltage across the rectifier diode on the secondary side can be reduced such that it is lower than the output voltage. Also, it is possible to remove the ringing voltage of the rectifier diode and to enhance the efficiency of the flyback DC/DC converter.
