    摘要: A driving circuit and a driving method are provided. The driving circuit includes an energy-storage capacitor, a charging circuit and a discharging circuit. The energy-storage capacitor is coupled between a piezoelectric load and the charging circuit. Operation states of the charging circuit and the discharging circuit are controlled, so that the charging circuit charges the energy-storage capacitor during a first operation interval of an operation period, to adjust a power supply voltage signal provided to the piezoelectric load to change with a reference voltage in a first interval, and at least the piezoelectric load discharges electricity through the discharging circuit during a second operation interval of the operation period, to adjust the power supply voltage signal to change with the reference voltage in a second interval. The driving circuit according to the present disclosure requires a few switches, thereby facilitating circuit integration.
