Abstract

A driving and controlling method and a circuit thereof are provided. The method includes: sending, by a primary controller, a first signal that includes a first type of pulse sequence and a second type of pulse sequence; receiving the first signal, by a secondary controller, and identifying a pulse type of the first signal; when a first type of pulse is detected, the secondary controller outputs multiple switching signals to respectively control multiple switching elements to turn off; when a second type of pulse is detected, the secondary controller outputs multiple switching signals to respectively control multiple switching elements to work as normal. A level of the first signal is maintained constant between the first type of pulse sequence and the second type of pulse sequence. The disclosure features cost-efficiency and low driving delay.
