发明名称 LED backlight driving circuit and backlight module
摘要 An LED backlight driving circuit has a voltage converting unit having an output terminal connected to a positive electrode of an LED to provide a driving voltage required by the LED, a driving unit to control the voltage converting unit to achieve a voltage conversion, and a protection unit connected in series between a negative electrode of the LED and the driving unit. A maximum allowable power of the protection unit is less than a power when the driving voltage of the LED is directly applied to the protection unit. The circuit also includes a control unit for outputting a control signal for stopping working to the driving unit when the protection unit forms an open circuit. Thus, the circuit parts can be protected, and the short-circuit protection function is more safe and reliable.
