Abstract

A driver circuit and a driving method with low inrush current are provided. The driving method includes steps of: supplying a charging current smaller than a high inrush current; outputting a pulse signal from a pulse generating circuit; enabling a light driving circuit to receive the charging current by the pulse signal and allowing the charging current to flow to an storage capacitor; turning on a switch component and a light-emitting assembly by the pulse signal; supplying an auxiliary current smaller than the high inrush current; enabling the light driving circuit to receive the auxiliary current and allowing auxiliary current to flow sequentially to the switch component and the light-emitting assembly; and emitting light by the light-emitting assembly with the discharging current of the storage capacitor and the auxiliary current of input power source.
