Abstract:
A lighting circuit includes: a countercurrent prevention unit including a first control terminal and a second control terminal, the countercurrent prevention unit transmitting a first current or a second current; and a current controller including: a common terminal connected to the first control terminal and the second control terminal; and a switching terminal connected to the first control terminal, the current controller providing a first driving current or a second driving current from the common terminal to the light source. The countercurrent prevention unit further includes: a first rectifier, wherein voltage at the first control terminal is provided to the switching terminal through the first rectifier; a first P-FET provided between the first control terminal and the common terminal; a second P-FET provided between the second control terminal and the common terminal; and a second rectifier provided between the second P-PET and the common terminal.
