Abstract

See full text

A driving circuit for driving a capacitive load includes an integrated circuit device that includes a modulation portion which generates a modulation signal by pulse-modulating a source signal; a feedback circuit; a transistor that generates an amplified modulation signal which is obtained by amplifying the modulation signal; a low-pass filter that generates a drive signal by demodulating the amplified modulation signal; and a piezoelectric element that is displaced by applying the drive signal, wherein the feedback circuit generates a feedback signal on the basis of the drive signal, and feeds back the feedback signal to the modulation portion through a feedback terminal, the modulation portion includes a first circuit block and a second circuit block, and the integrated circuit device is configured to separate the first circuit block from the second circuit block by a triple-well structure.
