Abstract

A dimming control circuit for adjusting brightness of a light-emitting component is provided. The dimming control circuit includes a driving transistor, an amplifier and a control circuit. The driving transistor is coupled to the light-emitting component The amplifier includes a first input terminal and an output terminal. The output terminal is coupled to a gate of the driving transistor. The control circuit is coupled to the amplifier. The control circuit generates a second analog signal to the first input terminal of the amplifier according to a first analog signal. A slew rate of the second analog signal below the slew rate of the first analog signal and the amplifier controls the driving transistor to adjust a driving current flowing through the light-emitting component according to the second analog signal.
