Abstract

The invention relates to a driving circuit comprising a first bridge circuit, a second bridge circuit, a first protection device and a second protection device. The first bridge circuit comprising a first positive input terminal, a first negative input terminal, a first positive output terminal and a first negative output terminal is coupled to an AC voltage source to output a first voltage. The second bridge circuit comprising a second positive input terminal, a second negative input terminal, a second positive output terminal and a second negative output terminal is coupled to the AC voltage source to output a second voltage. The second and the first negative output terminals are both coupled to the ground potential. The first protection device is coupled between the second positive input terminal and the AC voltage source. The second protection device is coupled between the second negative input terminal and the AC voltage source.
