Abstract: A driving circuit includes a converter, a transformer, a first sensor and a second sensor. The converter is coupled to a switch that operates in a first state or in a second state. The converter receives an input voltage and provides a regulated voltage. The transformer transforms the regulated voltage to an output voltage to power said LED light source. Both a first current through the converter and a second current through the transformer further flow through the switch when the switch operates in the first state. The first sensor coupled between the switch and a first reference node provides a first sense signal indicating a combined current of the first current and the second current. The second sensor coupled between the first reference node and a second reference node provides a second sense signal indicating only the second current.
