An LED drive circuit is an LED dive circuit that receives an alternating voltage to drive an LED, and includes a current remove portion that removes a current from a current supply line that supplies an LED drive current to the LED. If an input current to the LED drive circuit is an unnecessary current, the LED does not light because of current removal by the current remove portion. If the input current to the LED drive circuit turns into the LED drive current from the unnecessary current, the current remove portion decreases the amount of current removed.

An LED drive circuit includes a resistor for setting a constant current, a switching power supply circuit for outputting a DC output voltage and a constant-current power supply circuit that receives the DC output voltage and that outputs the constant current to drive the LED. The LED drive circuit reduces, in dim light mode in which the LED is driven by a current less than that in normal light mode, at least one of the oscillation frequencies of an oscillation circuit included in the switching power supply circuit and an oscillation circuit included in the constant-current power supply circuit as compared with the normal light mode.

A switch selects an inputted direct-current voltage at rising of the inputted direct-current voltage, and selects an outputted voltage after the rising of the outputted voltage, for an input to the constant voltage circuit which supplies power to a control circuit. Therefore, once the step-up operation is carried out in a state where the inputted direct-current voltage is at or greater than the operation voltage of the control circuit, the power source of the control circuit is switched to the side of the outputted voltage which has been increased even when the inputted direct-current voltage decreases. Consequently, the voltage of the power source of the control circuit stays at or greater than the operation voltage of the control circuit, and the stabilized power circuit can carry out a proper operation. This function prevents the operation from being inadequate due to a decrease of the inputted direct-current voltage, and a proper operation can be carried out. Further, a signal of the hysteresis comparator is used for the switching for an input of the constant voltage circuit which supplies the power source to the control section. Thus, the circuit can be simplified.

To reduce the electric power wasted in an overvoltage protection circuit, a regulator IC 100 incorporates an overvoltage protection circuit 105 that stops the output operation of the regulator when the output voltage Vo becomes higher than a predetermined threshold voltage Vth1. The overvoltage protection circuit 105 includes switch means FET3 that turns on and off the overvoltage protection operation thereof according to a predetermined control signal.

A control section controls a switch to a charge period so as to charge a voltage-increasing capacitor at a start up. Then, the control section controls the switch to a voltage-increasing period so as to increase a voltage by a voltage-increasing capacitor and charges the output capacitor. The switching section alternately switches the charge period and the voltage-increasing period so that the charged voltage of the output capacitor, i.e., the output voltage is always stabilized within a range of the output voltage in a steady state. Here, a soft start circuit controls the switching section to carry out the switching operation so that the charged voltage always becomes not more than the output voltage in the steady state at the start-up.

In the regulated power supply circuit, an overcurrent detection circuit detects the flow of an overcurrent through a transistor acting as an output control element and supplies a result of the detection to a cut-off operation prohibition circuit. During non-startup time of the regulated power supply circuit, the cut-off operation prohibition circuit simply relays a result of the overcurrent detection circuit detecting an overcurrent to a cut-off circuit without introducing any changes to the result. The cut-off circuit increases a base potential of the transistor according to the result of the detection of an overcurrent to cut off the output of the transistor. It is ensured that the output voltage rises even if the overcurrent detection circuit has activated the cut-off circuit upon detection of the overcurrent temporarily passing through the transistor during a startup. Therefore, the cut-off operation prohibition circuit prohibits the cut-off circuit from performing the cut-off operation from the outset to the end of the startup. Hence, a regulated power supply circuit can be provided which, even if an overcurrent is detected, develops no loss in the transistor during non-startup time.

An illumination light emitting element driving circuit includes a power factor improving circuit (2). The power factor improving circuit (2), when a load (illumination light emitting diode 17) of the illumination light emitting element driving circuit is light, performs operation (including stopping the operation) different from operation performed when the load is not light to thereby make power consumption lower than power consumption during the operation performed when the load is not light.
