Abstract

See full text

A driving circuit is disclosed that has low power consumption and supplies a current to a load. The driving circuit includes a constant current circuit section to generate and output a predetermined constant current, a current mirror circuit section to generate a current proportional to an input current supplied from the constant current circuit section and supply the current to the load, and a constant voltage supplying circuit section to generate a constant voltage and supply the constant voltage to a series circuit of the load and an output transistor of the current mirror circuit. The constant voltage supplying circuit section gene-rates the constant voltage so that an output voltage of the current mirror circuit section equals an input voltage of the current mirror circuit section.
