Abstract

A timing circuit used in lighting systems includes a first logic circuit, a first counter, a latching circuit and a judging circuit. The first logic circuit generates a first logic signal and a second logic signal based on a falling edge of a detecting signal. The first counter generates a first counting signal and a second counting signal based on the second logic signal, wherein the counting period of the first counting signal is longer than that of the second counting signal. The latching circuit samples and holds the first counting signal based on the first logic signal and provides a third counting signal. The judging circuit detects whether the second counting signal is equal to the third counting signal and provides a timing signal.
