Abstract
An undervoltage protection circuit for LED lamp includes a DC/DC converter, and a controlling circuit module. The controlling circuit module includes a signal collecting unit configured for collecting a signal, a signal comparing unit electrically connected to the signal collecting unit, and a signal processing unit electrically connected to the signal comparing unit. The signal comparing unit is configured for comparing a signal input from the signal collecting unit with a threshold voltage. The signal processing unit is configured for processing the signal output of the signal collecting unit to turn on or turn off the DC/DC converter. Whenever the voltage input is less than the threshold voltage which indicates an undervoltage condition, the controlling circuit module produces a high level and causes the DC/DC converter to not work as a result. Inversely, the controlling circuit module drops to a low level and the DC/DC converter begins to work.
