    Abstract: A linear LED driver includes a voltage supply terminal providing a driving voltage, at least one first transistor, each of which has an input terminal coupled to a respective LED, and a bleeder circuit. When the voltage of the output terminal of each of the at least one first transistor is lower than a first threshold and a power voltage is higher than a second threshold, the bleeder circuit will generate a bleeder current to discharge the voltage supply terminal so as to prevent the LEDs from flickering. The bleeder circuit detects the voltage of the output terminal of each of the at least one first transistor. Therefore, whether the LEDs are lighted up can be confirmed so that the bleeder current can be provided at properly time point.

    Abstract: A voltage converting controller is applied to a switching voltage converting circuit, in which the voltage converting controller periodically operates a high-side power switch and a low-side power switch in the switching voltage converting circuit with a high-side control signal and a low-side control signal, respectively, so as to convert an input voltage into an output voltage via an inductor. Defining an ideal duty cycle as the rating value of the output voltage divided by the value of the input voltage, when the ideal duty cycle is less than one threshold duty cycle, then the period of the high-side control signal is a constant; and when the ideal duty cycle is greater than the threshold duty cycle, the period of the high-side control signal and the period of the ideal duty cycle are positively correlated.
