Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the titled circuit from being affected by the fluctuation of supply voltage and the change of an ambient temperature by a method wherein the circuit is provided with a detecting element connected in series with an LED, a reference voltage output circuit and a current limiting element driving circuit and the LED is driven in constant current. CONSTITUTION:The driving current of an LED3, which has been limited by an MOS transistor (TR)4, runs through a resistor 5 and detecting voltage V1 generates on both ends of the resistor 5. On the other hand, drain current ID to run on an MOSTR7 fluctuates according to a temperature change without being affected by the terminal voltage V0 of a DC power source 2. Voltage Vr, whose current generates on both ends of a resistor 8, is impressed on a voltage comparator 6. Accordingly, output voltage, which corresponds to the component of a difference between the voltage V1 and the voltage Vr, is outputted from the output of the comparator 6 and the conductivity of the TR4 is controlled by this output voltage. As a result, current, which corresponds to the level of the voltage Vr, runs on the LED3 through the TR4 and the LED3 is driven in constant current. Accordingly, the LED3 is driven in constant current despite the fluctuation of the voltage V0 and when the ambient temperature changes, the change of the luminous efficiency is corrected.

In order to extract a reference voltage at a required constant level regardless of the level of the terminal voltage V0 of the DC power supply 2, the drain electrodes of the trenchment type MOS transistors 7 whose gate electrodes are commonly connected to the source electrodes are connected via a resistor 8. It is connected to the positive electrode of the DC power supply 2.

Therefore, the drain current I D flowing through the MOS transistor 7 changes as shown in FIG. 2 with respect to V D applied to the drain of the MOS transistor 7. That is, the value of drain current I D is
As long as the value of voltage V D is above a predetermined value, the drain current I D is almost independent of the value of voltage V D, and the drain current I D depends on the change in the threshold voltage of MOS transistor 7 due to temperature change and the change in the threshold voltage of MOS transistor 7 due to temperature change. It only changes due to the channel mobility change of 7.

In other words, the drain voltage I D is the terminal voltage of the DC power supply 2.
It is not affected by changes in V 0 and varies by changes in temperature. As described above, the temperature coefficient of the current flowing through the MOS transistor is determined by the setting of the threshold voltage and the mobility of the MOS transistor. Therefore, the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor 7 can be arbitrarily set so as to increase the temperature characteristics of the drain current ID , that is, the drain current ID as the temperature rises.

Therefore, from the output of the voltage comparator 6, the detected voltage
An output voltage Ve is output so as to make the voltage difference between V 1 and the reference voltage Vr zero, and the conductivity of the transistor 4 is controlled by this output voltage Ve. As a result, when V 1 <Vr, the output voltage Ve increases in the positive direction, the drain current of the transistor 4 increases, and the voltage drop across the resistor 5 increases. That is, the value of the detection voltage V1 increases. Conversely, when V 1 >Vr, the output voltage Ve increases in the negative direction and the drain current of the transistor 4 decreases, so the voltage drop across the resistor 5 decreases. That is, the detection voltage
V 1 decreases. In this way, the conductivity of the transistor 4 is controlled so that V 1 = Vr, and as a result, a current corresponding to the level of the reference voltage Vr flows through the transistor 4 to the LED 3, and the LED 3 is driven with a constant current. Ru.

Moreover, as the temperature increases, as mentioned above,
As ID of MOS transistor 7 increases, reference voltage Vr also increases, and LED 3 decreases due to temperature rise.
to compensate for changes in luminous efficiency. In other words, if this correction is not performed, the light emitted from the LED 3 will become weaker and the print will become lighter. On the other hand, when the temperature decreases, the reference voltage Vr also decreases, and in this case as well, changes in luminous efficiency due to temperature changes can be corrected.
