Abstract

A driving circuit, for providing a driving current to a light emitting diode, includes a PWM demodulator, a current source and a local clock generator. The PWM demodulator is configured to sample a PWM input signal in reference with a local clock signal and generate a brightness code according to a duty ratio of the PWM input signal. The current source is coupled with the PWM demodulator and the light emitting diode. The current source is configured to generate the driving current with a current amplitude according to the brightness code. The local clock generator is configured to generate the local clock signal according to a global clock signal during a first cycle period of successive cycle periods of the PWM input signal. The local clock generator suspends oscillation of the local clock signal during a second cycle period of the successive cycle periods of the PWM input signal.
