The LED lamp is increasingly used in the field of illumination, such as in classrooms, shops, office buildings, etc., including fluorescent lamps, and two ends of the fluorescent lamp are respectively connected to the mains supply through a zero line and a fire wire. When in installation, one end is usually installed first, and then the other end is installed, if an operator carelessly touches hands or other parts of the body with the electrode at the other end when one end is installed, a loop is formed between the human body and the power grid, electric shock is caused, and the problem is solved by adding an electric leakage protection circuit.
An existing LED driving circuit 100 with a leakage protection function includes a leakage protection circuit 101 and a power conversion circuit 102, as shown in fig. 1. The LED driving circuit 100 obtains an ac input voltage from an external power source 110, obtains a dc bus voltage VH after rectifying by a rectifier bridge 120, and converts the dc bus voltage VH to generate a dc output voltage, thereby driving an external load 130, such as an LED lamp. When the leakage protection circuit 101 detects that an electric shock condition is input, it controls the LED driving circuit 100 to be in an off state; when the leakage protection circuit 101 detects that the input is not shocked, the LED driving circuit 100 operates normally, and the LED lamp is turned on.
However, as the energy-saving requirement is higher and higher, the LED driving circuit of the fluorescent lamp with the leakage protection function also needs to be dimmed so as to adapt to different environments and requirements. Because the LED driving circuit of the fluorescent lamp with the leakage protection function has only two ends input, namely a zero line input end and a fire wire input end, and no other ports are used for dimming.
In addition, the existing dimming technology can solve the dimming input at two ends of the fluorescent lamp, but has no leakage protection function.
An existing LED driver circuit 200 with dimming functionality includes an LED dimming circuit and a power conversion circuit 202. As shown in fig. 2, the LED dimming circuit includes a bypass circuit 203, a zero crossing detection circuit 204, a data sampling circuit 205, and an MCU module 206. Rectifier bridge 120 rectifies the output signal of dimmer 140 to produce a dc bus voltage VH, which is zero-cross detected by zero-cross detection circuit 204 to produce a zero-cross detection signal; the data sampling circuit 205 samples the bus dc voltage VH to generate a data sampling signal, the MCU module 206 generates a bypass control signal according to the zero-crossing detection signal and the data sampling signal, the bypass control signal is used to control the bypass circuit 203 to be turned on and off, when the bypass switch is turned on, the external power supply 110, the dimmer 140 and the bypass circuit 203 form a conductive loop, and when the bypass switch is turned off, the conductive loop is turned off. The MCU module 206 also parses the dimming data transmitted by the dimmer according to the data sampling signal, thereby generating different pulse width modulation signals PWM, and adjusting the magnitude of the LED output current.
Accordingly, further improvements in LED driving circuits for fluorescent lamps are desired, while solving the problem of leakage and the problem of dimming.

When Vs2 > Vs1, there is no leakage phenomenon, and then the leakage detection signal is at a low level, i.e. the anode of the first diode D1 is always at a low level, and the leakage control signal Ctrl1 generated by the leakage judging module 311 controls the first switch K1 to be closed, so as to supply power to the dimming module 304. When Vs2 is less than or equal to Vs1, a leakage phenomenon exists, a leakage control signal Ctrl1 controls the first switch K1 to be disconnected, the leakage detection signal is a pulse square wave, and the second transistor Q2 is controlled to be intermittently conducted until no leakage phenomenon is detected.

The different values of the currents flowing through the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are set at different stages to have different impedances of the bypass module 303, and the different values can be used for power supply of the dimmer and transmission of dimming data.
When the second control signal Ctrl2 and the third control signal Ctrl3 are both at low level, the second transistor Q2 is turned off, and the first transistor Q1 operates in the linear region and continues to output the supply voltage Vcc.

Further, the leakage protection circuit performs leakage detection by detecting leakage current generated by the bypass module, and the leakage protection circuit multiplexes the bypass module to realize leakage protection.
When the LED driving circuit with leakage protection is connected in parallel to two ends of the normal LED driving circuit (the LED driving circuit without leakage protection), the dimmer 140 can work normally, the waveform of the dc bus voltage VH carries the dimming information, as shown in fig. 9, the second sampling voltage Vs2 obtained at time t2 is smaller than the first sampling voltage Vs1 obtained at time t1, and the LED driving circuit with leakage protection is always subjected to leakage protection until Vs2 > Vs1.
When the single LED driving circuit is connected in series with the dimmer 140, only the leakage protection circuit 301 is operated, and neither the dimming module 304 nor the power conversion circuit 150 is operated, as shown in fig. 10, the waveform of the dc bus voltage VH does not have dimming information, and only a leakage loop can be generated through the internal capacitance of the dimmer 140. When the leakage protection is performed, if the second sampling voltage Vs2 obtained at the time t2 is smaller than the first sampling voltage Vs1 obtained at the time t1, the leakage protection is performed until Vs2 > Vs1.
