Publication number: 20100084983Abstract: An LED driving circuit is provided for driving an LED module, comprising a transistor switch and a feedback controller. The transistor switch has a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The first terminal is coupled to the LED module and the control terminal receives a control signal for controlling a current passing through the transistor switch. The feedback controller receives a reference voltage and a current detecting signal indicative of the magnitude of the current and generates the control signal accordingly. The feedback controller is connected to a driving power source with level higher than the level of the first terminal of the transistor switch. Hence, the maximum level of an adjustable range of the control signal is higher than the first terminal of the transistor switch.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Shian-Sung Shiu, Chung-Che Yu

Publication number: 20090322235Abstract: An LED driving circuit is used for dimming by switching between an operating current and a maintaining current or by voltage clamping of a source/drain of MOSFET that is coupled to the LED module. When the LED module is dimmed off, the voltage across the LED module can be kept at a value around a lighting threshold voltage of the LED module that is a minimum voltage for lighting the LED module. Therefore, a voltage difference between the drain and the source of MOSFET coupled to the LED module is smaller than that in the conventional arts. Hence, a withstand voltage of MOSFET can be reduced, and cost of the LED driving circuit as well as the power consumption of MOSFET can be lessened, thereby improving integral efficiency of the circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Shian-Sung Shiu, Chung-Che Yu, JuanJuan Liu
