Dielectric barrier discharge lamp system and driving method thereof having relatively better performance in startup and re-startup of dimming

The configurations of a dielectric barrier discharge lamp (DBDL) system and the driving method thereof are provided in the present invention. The proposed DBDL system includes a driver circuit receiving a DC input voltage and generating an AC output voltage, including a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, a dielectric barrier discharge lamp coupled to the secondary winding and a burst mode dimming circuit including a first switch. In which, the first switch is turned on when the first switch is starting such that the first switch and the primary winding forms a conducting path so as to apply a driving high voltage to the DBDEL and turn off the first switch after the DBDL is breaking through by the driving high voltage such that a driving normal voltage is applied to the DBDL.
