Abstract
An illumination driving circuit for driving a light-emitting load includes a system voltage source, a switch component, an inductor component, an inductor-current sensing module and a control module. The switch component is coupled between the system voltage source and the light-emitting load. The inductor component is connected in series between the system voltage source and the light-emitting load. The inductor-current sensing module includes a sensing resistor component connected in series between the switch component and the inductor component. The control module is configured for controlling the conductive state of the switch component. An inductor-current sensing terminal of the controlling module is coupled to a node between the sensing resistor component and the switch component. The control module calculates an inductor-current through the inductor component according to a voltage level on the inductor-current sensing terminal.
