摘要： A backlight module and a current providing circuit thereof are provided. The current providing circuit includes a signal generating unit, a switching unit, a first capacitor, a transformer and an output node. The signal generating unit generates a PWM signal according to a level of a power source. The switching unit determines whether a first signal end and a second signal end of the switching unit are conducted according to the PWM signal received by a control end of the switching unit. Following a switch performed by the switching unit, the first capacitor charges and discharges through a current path provided by a primary coil of the transformer. Thereby, a secondary coil of the transformer generates a corresponding AC voltage by sensing a current change in the primary coil and outputs the AC voltage through the output node.
