    摘要: A semiconductor light source lighting circuit includes a switching regulator that produces a drive current ILED with a switching element, and a control circuit that controls turning on and off of the switching element so that the magnitude of the drive current ILED approaches a target value. The control circuit includes an error comparator that compares the drive current ILED and the target value, an up/down counter that performs a counting operation, in which the control digital value is incremented or decremented based on the result of the comparison, a D/A converter that converts the control digital value into an analog duty ratio setting signal S4, and a drive circuit that controls the turning on and off of the switching element based on the signal S4. The up/down counter stops the counting operation when the switching regulator is brought into the inactive state.

    摘要: In a process in which a control signal having a low level is output from an ON/OFF control circuit to series regulators connected to LEDs serving as lighting targets to turn ON the LEDs in accordance with digital communication information, the ON/OFF control circuit calculates a specified current value to be supplied to the LEDs serving as the lighting targets and compares the specified current value with a detected current value which is detected by a current detecting circuit, and outputs a stop signal to a control circuit on the assumption that a current flows without the series regulators with grounding generated on a cathode side of any of LEDs when the detected current value is greater than the specified current value. When the control circuit turns OFF an NMOS transistor in response to the stop signal, an operation of a switching regulator is stopped.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to protecting a switching regulator by sensing immediately a change in an input voltage when the input voltage of the switching regulator is changed suddenly. When an input voltage of a switching regulator 12 is changed suddenly and an interrupt request signal IRQ is provided from an input voltage sensing circuit 16 while electromagnetic energy accumulated in the switching regulator 12 is discharged to an output block 14 by turning ON/OFF a switch SW1 in accordance with a switching signal generated by a microcomputer 18, to control a lighting of an LED1, the microcomputer 18 reduces an ON duty of the switching signal provided to the switch SW1 in response to the interrupt request signal IRQ and limits an increase of a peak value of a current flowing through a primary side of the switching regulator 12.
