20130215399 | DRIVING DEVICE, FLASHER DEVICE, AND PROJECTOR - A driving device includes a switching regulator and a timing controller. The switching regulator includes a switching element, a smoothing circuit including an inductor connected to the switching element, and a controller that turns on/off the switching element. The switching regulator converts input voltage to output voltage as output of the smoothing circuit by turning on/off the switching element. The timing controller controls the controller to operate and stop operating. The controller performs constant current control by feeding back inductor current, generating a PWM signal based on the fed-back current and a target value, and outputting the PWM signal to the switching element so that the inductor current approximates to the target value. When performing the constant current control, the controller sets the target value to a value different from a reference target value for a steady period. | 08-22-2013 |
