Abstract

A sequencing method is applied to a light-emitting diode lamp string. The light-emitting diode lamp string includes a plurality of light-emitting diode units connected to each other in series. The light-emitting diode units have different parasitic capacitive reactance and resistance-capacitance time constant after being connected to each other in series. The sequencing method includes following steps. An address pulse wave signal is sent to the light-emitting diode units. A clamped voltage is sent to the light-emitting diode units when a voltage of the address pulse wave signal decreases. The light-emitting diode unit in a receiving status detects a receiving voltage of the light-emitting diode unit. The light-emitting diode unit detecting that the receiving voltage is less than a predetermined voltage due to an overshoot phenomenon stores the address pulse wave signal to have an address sequence data.
