ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor laser driving circuit has a circuit protection function at low temperature and includes a voltage current converter that converts an input voltage Vin, which is determined according to a desired light brightness of the semiconductor laser to be driven, into a current. A current limiter limits an output current of the voltage current converter to a specified current value or less. An output amplifier amplifies the output current of the voltage current converter and supplies the amplified current as a drive current to the semiconductor laser. A temperature detection circuit detects a low temperature state and, in the low temperature state, decreases the specified current value of the current limiter.
