ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor light detecting integrated circuit comprises a light detecting element, a constant current source having a first FET connected in series to the light detecting element and a power source, the constant current source having a region in which a constant current flows through the first FET, and an electrical circuit having a second FET the gate of which is connected to a connecting point between the light detecting element and the constant current source, the electrical circuit providing a two-valued output for the gate voltage at the connecting point generated according to whether or not the output current of the light detecting element reaches a predetermined current set in the constant current region of the constant current source.
