A method for driving a fluorescent lamp and an inverter circuit for performing the same are used to reduce an amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by a transformer and an instantaneous loading of a DC voltage source. The inverter circuit comprises a DC square wave voltage source, a bridge DC/AC converter, a transformer, a feedback control unit and a voltage control circuit wherein the voltage control circuit is coupled to the DC voltage source, the bridge DC/AC converter and the feedback control unit. The voltage control circuit is used to convert DC voltage provided by the DC voltage source into a two-level DC square wave, which in turn converts the two-level DC square wave into an AC quasi-sine wave to drive the fluorescent lamp through the bridge DC/AC converter and the transformer. The feedback control unit generates signals to control the voltage control circuit and the bridge DC/AC converter.
