Abstract
An LED driving circuit for driving an LED module is provided. The LED module is coupled to an inductor and a flywheel unit to provide a continuous current conduction of the inductor. A terminal of a converting switch is coupled to the LED module, and another terminal thereof is coupled to ground through a current detection unit that generates a current feedback signal to a controller, so as to stabilize a current flowing through the LED module. The LED driving circuit also includes a protecting circuit, which detects a potential of one end of the LED module to generate a detection signal and makes/has the converting switch to be turned off responsive to the detection signal. If the converting switch is turned off, driving of the LED module is stopped.
