An LED driving apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present inventive concept may include a rectifier circuit rectifying alternating current (AC) power to generate driving power for operating a plurality of LED arrays; a controller integrated circuit (IC) including a plurality of internal switches connected to respective output terminals of the plurality of LED arrays and controlling a path of a current flowing in the plurality of LED arrays by adjusting operations of the plurality of internal switches according to a magnitude of the driving power; and a current controlling circuit connected to the output terminal of at least one of the plurality of LED arrays and controlling a current flowing in the at least one LED array.

LED driving apparatus and lighting apparatus including the same

A light emitting diode (LED) driving device is provided. The LED driving device includes a rectifier configured to rectify alternating current (AC) power to generate rectified power; an AC driver configured to control operations of a plurality of LED groups so that the plurality of LED groups receive the rectified power generated by the rectifier; and a light amount controller configured to reduce an amount of current applied to the plurality of LED groups when a peak value of the rectified power is increased, and increase the amount of current applied to the plurality of LED groups when the peak value of the rectified power is reduced.
