Abstract:
A circuit for restraining a shoot through current comprises a master selecting unit and a logic unit. The master selecting unit receives an input signal, and outputs first and second master selecting signals. The logic unit comprises first and second logic elements which generate first and second control signals for controlling two transistor switches connected in series. The first and second logic elements change the logic states of the first and second control signals according to the first and second master selecting signals. When the input signal is at a first logic level, the first logic element acquires a control privilege to change the logic state of the first control signal and trigger the second logic element to change the logic state of the second control signal. When the input signal is at a second logic, the second logic element acquires the control privilege.

An LED driving circuit is provided for driving an LED module, comprising a transistor switch and a feedback controller. The transistor switch has a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The first terminal is coupled to the LED module and the control terminal receives a control signal for controlling a current passing through the transistor switch. The feedback controller receives a reference voltage and a current detecting signal indicative of the magnitude of the current and generates the control signal accordingly. The feedback controller is connected to a driving power source with level higher than the level of the first terminal of the transistor switch. Hence, the maximum level of an adjustable range of the control signal is higher than the first terminal of the transistor switch.
