A circuit with adjustable phase delay and a feedback voltage includes a delay setting unit and a phase delay signal generator. The delay setting unit generates a delay time according to an external resistor. The phase delay signal generator includes a plurality of phase delay units. Each phase delay unit includes an edge trigger subunit and a signal generation subunit. The edge trigger subunit receives an input signal, and generates a positive edge trigger signal and a negative edge trigger signal according to a positive edge and a negative edge of the input signal, respectively. The signal generation subunit generates and outputs a phase delay signal according to the positive edge trigger signal, the negative edge trigger signal, and the delay time. The phase delay signal lags the input signal for the delay time.

Short protection control circuits and related control methods are disclosed. A disclosed short protection control circuit is adapted for controlling a short protection mechanism providing short protection to several LED chains. The disclosed short protection control circuit has a detection circuit, a first logic circuit and a timer. Coupled to the LED chains, the detection circuit asserts an indication signal when one of the node voltages of the LED chains is lower than an under-current reference. When the indication signal is enabled, the first logic circuit starts blocking the short protection mechanism. The timer times to provide a result when the short protection mechanism is blocked. When the result indicates that the short protection mechanism has been blocked for at least a predetermined time period, the first logic circuit resumes the short protection mechanism.
