Abstract
An LED lamp protecting circuit includes an LED lamp, a constant current source and a buffer circuit. The constant current source includes positive and negative input terminals, positive and negative output terminals and a switch. The buffer circuit is connected between the negative output terminal and the LED lamp. The buffer circuit includes a charging capacitor, a first NPN transistor and a second PNP transistor. An emitting electrode of the second transistor is connected to the LED lamp. A collecting electrode of the second transistor is connected to the negative output terminal. The charging capacitor is connected between the emitting electrode of the second transistor and a ground. A collecting electrode and an emitting electrode of the first transistor are respectively electrically connected to a base electrode of the second transistor and the ground.
