Abstract
A flicker-free LED driving apparatus and voltage regulating method thereof are disclosed. The apparatus includes a power conversion circuit receiving an AC electricity and then generating an output voltage with a ripple component for an LED string; a feedback circuit electrically connected to the power conversion circuit and generating a feedback signal with varying duty cycle according to operation states of the LED string; a power conversion circuit including, a controller receiving the feedback signal turns on or off a switching device thereof according to the feedback signal; and a linear voltage-regulating circuit electrically connected to the power conversion circuit, the feedback circuit, and the LED string. and configured to regulate the output voltage in accordance with a voltage difference between the output voltage and a voltage across the LED string.
