Abstract

The present invention discloses an open loop LED driving circuit, having a turn-on period and a turn-off period, the circuit comprising: a power stage, used to store a magnetic energy supplied from a voltage source during the turn-on period and deliver the magnetic energy to a set of LEDs during the turn-off period; and a control unit, having a turn-off period control terminal coupled to the voltage source, and a channel of which a first terminal is coupled to the power stage and a second terminal is coupled to a reference ground, wherein the channel is switched on at a time according to the voltage of the voltage source to determine the turn-off period.
