Abstract

See full text

A low cost photocurrent monitoring circuit is provided. A photocurrent monitoring circuit, which performs monitoring by converting photocurrents output from a plurality of photodiodes (PD1 to PDn) into voltage, includes: a multiplexer circuit (MUX) for selecting one of input terminals to establish a connection of the selected input terminal to an output terminal, wherein the photodiodes (PD1 to PDn) are respectively connected to the input terminals; and an amplifier (LA) for converting a photocurrent which flows from a selected photodiode via the multiplexer circuit (MUX) into a voltage, and for outputting the voltage.
