A short circuit detection circuit for detecting short circuit of a series of light-emitting diodes includes a constant current source, a rectifier, and a detector. The constant circuit source provides a setting current. The rectifier is coupled between a feedback node and the constant current source. The feedback node is coupled to a terminal of the series of light-emitting diodes. When a feedback voltage of the feedback node exceeds a short reference voltage, the rectifier allows the setting current sinks the feedback node. The detector detects the feedback voltage of the feedback node. When the feedback voltage exceeds a predetermined value, short-circuit protection is triggered to make the series of light-emitting diodes be turned off.
