Abstract
Provided is a PWM driving circuit and a PWM driving method. The PWM driving circuit includes a dimmer switching unit turning on a first switch to apply a first reference signal varied according to an input voltage of a system when an output voltage level of a dimmer is a reference level or less, and turning on a second switch to apply a second reference signal, unrelated to the input voltage of the system, when the output voltage level of the dimmer is more than the reference level, an error amplification unit comparing the first reference signal or the second reference signal with an output detection signal to amplify an error and outputting an error amplification signal, and a PWM control signal generating unit comparing the error amplification signal of the error amplification unit with a predetermined reference waveform to output a PWM control signal.
