CIRCUITS FOR DRIVING LIGHT SOURCES

摘要

A light source driving circuit for powering a first light source and a second light source by a DC voltage includes a first control circuitry and a second control circuitry. If the DC voltage is within a first range, then the first control circuitry controls a first switch and the second control circuitry controls a second switch to turn on the first light source and to regulate a current flowing through the first light source. If the DC voltage is within a second range, then the first control circuitry controls a third switch and the second control circuitry controls a fourth switch to turn on the first light source and the second light source and to regulate a current flowing through the first light source and the second light source.

1. A light source driving circuit for powering a first light source and a second light source by a DC (direct current) voltage, comprising:
a first control circuitry coupled to said first light source and said second light source; and a second control circuitry coupled to said first light source and said second light source, wherein if said DC voltage is within a first range, then said first control circuitry controls a first switch and said second control circuitry controls a second switch to turn on said first light source and to regulate a current flowing through said first light source, wherein said first switch and said second switch are coupled to said first light source, wherein if said DC voltage is within a second range, then said first control circuitry controls a third switch and said second control circuitry controls a fourth switch to turn on said first light source and said second light source and to regulate a current flowing through said first light source and said second light source, wherein said third switch and said fourth switch are coupled to said second light source.
