Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A load driving device includes a switch element configured to generate an output voltage to a load from an input voltage depending on an ON/OFF operation thereof, a switch controller configured to control the ON/OFF operation of the switch element such that a feedback voltage obtained by subtracting a dropped voltage of the load from the output voltage and a predetermined reference voltage are maintained to be consistent, and a variable current source configured to perform ON/OFF controlling of a driving current flowing to the load in response to a driving current control signal. When the switch element is in an ON state at an OFF timing of the driving current, the switch controller maintains the switch element in the ON state thereafter, and turns off the switch element when the ON period of the switch element reaches a predetermined period.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A load driving device comprising: a switch element configured to generate an output voltage to a load from an input voltage depending on an ON/OFF operation of the switch element; a switch controller configured to control the ON/OFF operation of the switch element such that a feedback voltage obtained by subtracting a dropped voltage of the load from the output voltage and a predetermined reference voltage are maintained to be consistent; and a variable…
