Detection circuit and led tube including the same

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure involve a detection circuit for a tube and a tube including the detection circuit. The detection circuit comprises: impedance connected between two ends of a tube; a voltage detector configured to detect voltage on the impedance; a voltage threshold circuit configured to provide a voltage threshold; a first control circuit configured to compare voltage across the two ends of the tube to the voltage threshold, and to control the voltage detector to detect only when the voltage across the two ends of the tube is smaller than the voltage threshold. By using the detection circuit of the present disclosure, it can detect whether a human body contacts the tube under protection state, to avoid of the risk of getting an electrical shock.
