摘要： A reference voltage generation circuit includes a current-mirror circuit formed of a plurality of MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistors each having a source terminal connected to a power source and a gate terminal connected to with each other; and a plurality of transistors each connected to a drain terminal of each of the MOS transistors of the current-mirror circuit for controlling the current-mirror circuit, so that an output current of the current-mirror circuit is converted to a voltage to be output as a reference voltage. Each of the MOS transistors of the current-mirror circuit has the drain terminal connected to a collector terminal of each of the transistors. Accordingly, when a voltage of the power source varies, it is possible to maintain a collector voltage of each of the transistors at a specific level and a collector current of each of the transistors constant.

摘要： A light emitting apparatus includes optical thyristors, a driver circuit that supplies a drive current to the thyristors so that the thyristors emit light, and a control circuit that controls the thyristors. Each thyristor includes an anode, a cathode connected to the ground, and a gate. The thyristor emits light when the drive current flows therethrough. The control circuit controls the gate, causing a control current to flow from the anode to the gate to turn on the thyristors. The control circuit applies a control voltage to the gate, the control voltage being higher than a voltage appearing across the gate and the cathode when the thyristor remains turned on.
