Abstract

A dimmer circuit includes a light emitting module, a first current source, a digital-to-analog converter, a switch, a second current source and a pulse width modulation generator. The light emitting module is for emitting light according to a driving current. The first current source includes a first terminal coupled to a second terminal of the light emitting module. The digital-to-analog converter is for generating a DC voltage according to a DC dimming code signal to control the first current source. The switch includes a first terminal coupled to a second terminal of the light emitting module. The second current source includes a first terminal coupled to a second terminal of the switch. The PWM generator is for generating a PWM voltage according to the PWM dimming code signal to control the second current source.
