Abstract:
A driving apparatus of an LED device is provided. The LED device includes a plurality of LED channels, and each LED channel includes a plurality of LEDs connected in series. A power converter has an output terminal connected to a first terminal of each LED channel, and converts an input voltage into an output voltage to output the output voltage to the output terminal. A plurality of current controllers correspond to the plurality of LED channels, respectively. Each current controller is connected to a second terminal of a corresponding LED channel, and controls a current of the corresponding LED channel. The voltage sensor outputs a sensed voltage corresponding to the output voltage of the output terminal. The fault controller determines whether to stop operation of the power converter by comparing the sensed voltage with a reference voltage.
