Abstract

A piezoelectric resonant LED driving circuit, wherein a rectifier is used to rectify an AC voltage provided by the supply main into a DC voltage. Then, a quasi-resonant switching module performs resonance by means of the DC voltage to produce an induced current, to raise resonance frequency to operation frequency of a piezoelectric oscillator. Finally, the piezoelectric oscillator performs resonance and filtering using the induced current, to generate a sine wave current. Then, the sine wave current is rectified to output a DC current to drive an LED module.
