Abstract
A short to ground protecting circuit for an LED driver for providing a power supply voltage for N LED strings. The LED driver has an output terminal for providing a power supply voltage for the N LED strings and N feedback terminals having N detecting voltages respectively. For each i from 1 to N, the iLED string is coupled between the output terminal and the ifeedback terminal, and the ifeedback terminal is configured to have the idetecting voltage. The short to ground protecting circuit receives a short threshold voltage and N open fault signals, and generates N short indicating signals. And on the premise of the iopen fault signal is valid, and if the idetecting voltage is less than the short threshold voltage for a preset time period, the ishort indicating signal is valid.
