Abstract
An the LED driving circuit, for driving an the LED load, includes: a bridge rectifier for rectifying an AC input voltage into a DC voltage; a serial capacitor voltage divider coupled to the bridge rectifier, including a plurality of serial capacitors; a half-bridge switch, coupled to the serial capacitor voltage divider; and a controller coupled to the half-bridge switch, for determining whether the DC voltage is higher than a threshold value and for controlling the half-bridge switch in a full-voltage mode or a half-voltage mode. In the full-voltage mode, the plurality of serial capacitors of the serial capacitor voltage divider synchronously supply power to the LED load. In the half-voltage mode, the plurality of serial capacitors of the serial capacitor voltage divider alternatively supply power to the LED load.
