A driving circuit includes a main output terminal electrically coupled to a switch element, a first voltage generating circuit and a second voltage generating circuit. The first voltage generating circuit is electrically coupled with the main output terminal. The first voltage generating circuit comprises a first comparator and a voltage divider circuit. The first voltage generating circuit is configured to generate a first voltage at the main output terminal during a predetermined time interval of a turn-on duration of a switching period. The second voltage generating circuit is electrically coupled with the main output terminal. The second voltage generating circuit is configured to generate a second voltage at the main output terminal during a remaining time interval of the turn-on duration of the switching period. The predetermined time interval is ahead of the remaining time interval, and the first voltage is higher than the second voltage.
