    摘要: A current detection circuit 34 generates a current detection signal V CS that corresponds to a lamp current I LAMP supplied from a switching converter 30 to a semiconductor light source 10. A hysteresis comparator 36 compares a current detection signal V CS with an upper-side threshold signal V THH and a lower-side threshold signal V THL determined according to an analog dimming signal V ADIM , and generates a control pulse S CNT that corresponds to the comparison result. A driver 38 drives a switching transistor M1 according to the control pulse S CNT . A PWM dimming circuit 90 generates a gradual change signal by dulling a PWM (pulse width modulation) dimming signal S PWM and changes the analog dimming signal V ADIM based on the gradual change signal

    摘要: A load driving apparatus 100 receives an input voltage from a power supply 202, and supplies electric power to a load 200 under processor control. The processor 204 outputs first and second signals Sig1 and Sig2 via first and second pins P 1 and P 2 in a conjunction such that they are negated when the load 200 is instructed to suspend operation. An output circuit 110 supplies electric power to the load 200. A protection switch M2 is provided on a driving path that extends from the power supply 202 to the load 200 and returns to the power supply 202. When the first signal Sig1 is asserted (negated), a control circuit 130 sets the output circuit 110 to an operation state (suspension state). The control circuit 130 turns on the protection switch M2 on assertion of the second signal Sig2, and turns it off on negation of this signal.

    摘要: A scanning light source 10 includes a light source 110, and scans the output light of the light source 110 ahead of a lamp. A control apparatus 200 controls the lighting on/off state of the semiconductor light source in synchronization with the scanning operation of the scanning light source 10. The control apparatus 200 judges the presence or absence of an abnormal state with at least one from among (i) a timing immediately before switching from a lighting-on state to a lighting-off state and (ii) a timing immediately before switching from a lighting-off state to a lighting-on state as a judgment timing.

    摘要: When a power supply voltage V IN is supplied to an input terminal V IN , a first constant current driver 210 supplies a first driving current I OUT1 to the anode of a first semiconductor light source 101. A first switch SW1 is provided between the first semiconductor light source 101 and a second semiconductor light source 102, and a second switch SW2 between the first semiconductor light source 101 and a third semiconductor light source 103. When a switching terminal SEL has a high impedance or low level, a switching circuit 220 turns the first switch SW1 on and the second switch SW2 off. When a switching voltage V SEL is supplied to the switching terminal SEL, the switching circuit 220 turns the first switch off and the second switch SW2 on, and supplies a second driving voltage I OUT2 smaller than the first driving current I OUT1 to the second semiconductor light source 102.
