Abstract
A light-emitting diode (LED) circuit with a parallel sequence function is connected to a power wire in parallel. The LED circuit includes a sequence circuit. In a sequence mode, a first specific voltage is generated by receiving a resistance of the power wire and a pulse cluster with a specific frequency is received. The sequence circuit uses the first specific voltage and the pulse cluster to determine a value, and then sets the value to a sequence number of the LED circuit.
